PackagesIndexDaemon

Using the Zebra Indexing Daemon with the Packages (3.18 onwards)

As of version 3.18, the setting of Zebra indexing daemon is simpler:

On 18.11 onwards (at least) the index daemon is enabled by default (USE_INDEXER_DAEMON="yes").

• Edit /etc/cron.d/koha-common and comment out the koha-rebuild-zebra line

• Edit /etc/default/koha-common and change this line:

 USE_INDEXER_DAEMON="no" to USE_INDEXER_DAEMON="yes"

• Run: sudo service koha-common restart

• Now the daemon should be running.

Note: Above instructions will apply to all instances. If you need to stop one instance's indexer, please take a look at the koha-indexer command (man koha-indexer)

Older than Koha 3.18

If you want to use a indexing daemon in older versions, there are a few small changes to make. This feature is currently experimental (October 2012), so we would appreciate people testing it and reporting any bugs found.

• Run: sudo apt-get install libkoha-contrib-tamil-perl

• Edit /etc/cron.d/koha-common and comment out the koha-rebuild-zebra line

• Edit /etc/init.d/koha-common and uncomment the references to koha-start-indexer, koha-stop-indexer, and koha-restart-index

• Run: sudo service koha-common restart

• Now the daemon should be running.
