Re: [Koha] search quits working

(sorry, jumping into the thread)

We've had this problem on 10% of our installations. I solved it bygoing nuclear with logrotate since that was really hurting the users tonot have zebra working (it would appear like working on our monitor, butwas actually just dying and restarting).

Here is the postrotate I've end up with, after many iterations of NextLevel Apocalypse You :)


    postrotate
        service apache2 reload

find /etc/init.d/ -name "*zebra-daemon" -exec bash -c 'service"$(basename "$0")" stop' {} \;

        sleep 3

find /etc/init.d/ -name "*zebra-daemon" -exec bash -c 'service"$(basename "$0")" stop' {} \;

        sleep 3
        pkill -9 zebra
        sleep 2
        pkill -9 zebra
        sleep 2

find /etc/init.d/ -name "*zebra-daemon" -exec bash -c 'service"$(basename "$0")" start' {} \;

    endscript

As you see, no subtlety, but I've had no problem for a year now...

Hi,

I'm finally getting back to my Koha issues.....


"I'm going to test adding a line

/bin/sleep 5

as first command in postrotate in logrotate.d/koha-common. I'll see
tomorrow."

Nombre, did this work for you ??

or is the issue maybe fixed in the latest release ??

I blame logrotate.

Sorry....
Debian, latest version of Koha.

problem *seems* to have only started when I updated to the latest Koha
version.


3.22.06.000
Linux hskoha 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2
(2016-04-08)
i686


The issue seems to be with the zebra server somehow coming to a halt,
and bailing.....seemingly @ approx. 7:35 daily.

a quick command of " koha-start-zebra <instance> " makes things
all-good.....and I can search again.

However, within a couple of days....the zebra server appears to die

again.

I have two servers, both at exactly the same rev. and they are both
exhibiting this behavior. Starting to look at some of the cron.daily
commands.....they seem the most likely suspect (in my eyes)

Hi all,
I'm having some issues with Koha searching from both the OPAC and
the staff Intranet.
I have tried several solutions for reindexing etc...
including
---Koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v -b mylibrary and ---export
PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib ---export
KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/koha-conf.xml
---perl /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r
-v -run-as-root

You don't say which version of Koha, nor what o/s you are using.
Assuming Debian/Ubuntu, what does printenv give you? You should see
something like (amongst other lines):

me@my_server:/$ printenv
PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr
/local/lib/perl

KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/koha-conf.xml
KOHA_PATH=/usr/share/koha

I'm also a little surprised by your "-run-as-root" -- in slightly
older versions of Koha, this was a "no-no", but may well have
changed

(mpm-itk?)

There is also something I noticed in further emails:

your zebra error logs.

[snip]

20160713 07:36:11 dlpms-koha-zebra: client (pid 526) killed by
signal

15, stopping

20160713 07:40:07 dlpms-koha-zebra: client (pid 10116) killed by
signal

15, stopping

What were the 9590 processes in the <4 minutes? That log entry would
certainly get my attention.

Best -- P.


none of these commands produce any errors, however, they also do not
fix

the issue.


A reboot of the VM will cause the "search" to work again for a day
or two....??
(I know....."it shouldn't make a difference" ...but it
does...!?!?!?)


I'm unsure of exactly where to start troubleshooting ???

Any advise on where to begin ??

Thanks,

-S
