FYI an emergency hotfix was added to IIAB 6.5 (and to our master branch) in the last hour, thereby upgrading kiwix-tools from 0.5.0 to 2018-05-24, to remediate Full-Text Searching within ZIM files that contain an internal index.
If you'd already installed IIAB 6.5, it is strongly suggested that you apply the patch (PR #818 <https://github.com/iiab/iiab/pull/818>) as follows: cd /opt/iiab/iiab git pull mv /opt/iiab/kiwix/kiwix-serve /tmp ./runrole kiwix ...or "./iiab-install --reinstall" Thanks All!
