Description Ivan Brown 2015-02-24 13:10:53 UTC
After upgrading to Koha 3.18 I thought I'd try the new daemon indexing as our librarian is always complaining about the delay before things appear in searches.

I followed the instructions at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/PackagesIndexDaemon to enable it but it did not seem to be working.

Looking at ps output to see if it was running I noticed something strange:

lcs-koha   947  0.0  0.0  17176   712 ?        S    Feb06   0:58 daemon --name=lcs-koha-indexer --errlog=/var/log/koha/lcs/indexer-error.log --stdout=/var/log/koha/lcs/indexer.log --output=/var/log/koha/lcs/indexer-output.log --verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 --user=lcs-koha.lcs-koha -- -daemon -x -sleep 5

The executable name seemed to be missing.

Further investigation led me to /usr/sbin/koha-indexer line 177:

# Check if an alternate indexer has been set
if [ -z $ALTERNATE_INDEXER_DAEMON ]; then
    INDEXER_DAEMON="$ALTERNATE_INDEXER_DAEMON"
else
    # We default to rebuild_zebra.pl if no alternate indexer set
    INDEXER_DAEMON="${KOHA_HOME}/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl"
fi

Surely this means that if the INDEXER_DAEMON is zero length then set it to the zero length string! The default daemon program is never set. The INDEXER_DAEMON assigments should be swapped.

I'm surprised no one else has reported this but I can't find any other bug reports.

Not in the scope of this patch: I had to manually start koha-indexer. That is neither mentioned here nor on the Wiki, so I wonder if it is supposed to run automatically?

Mirko, have you set /etc/default/koha-common ? And restarted the koha-common service?

Sorry, I did not read carefully. I set /etc/koha/koha-common.conf. I did not set /etc/default/koha-common as it was not mentioned in the wiki.

[PASSED QA] Bug 13753: koha-indexer contains invalid statement

An incorrect conditional makes the indexer daemon fail to load.

To test:
- Enable the indexer daemon on packages [1]
- Restart koha-common:
  $ service koha-common restart
- Run
  $ ps waux | grep koha-indexer
=> FAIL: there's no reference to the rebuild_zebra.pl script
  (line should look like *rebuild_zebra.pl -daemon*)
   Run ps -ef | grep rebuild_zebra.pl too to make sure.
- Apply the patch, repeat the steps
=> SUCCESS: the rebuild_zebra.pl script is ran
- Sign off :-D

Thanks
