Description Matthew Wyneken 2017-07-28 09:47:48 UTC
I'm running Koha version 17.05.01 on Debian 8.8. 

I set up Koha a few months ago and we're still learning the system. One thing we've noticed that presumably is not normal is that after a few days, for some reason the searching capability dies. My guess is that it has something to do with Zebra.

I can get search back up and going by restarting Koha. I use "invoke-rc.d  koha-common restart".

Presumably some daemon or other dies but I haven't been able to figure out which one. Maybe it happens during the regular cronjobs?

Does anybody have any ideas how I can figure out what's happening?

Hi Matthew

Maybe the following: 

Have a look at
Bug 17814 - koha-plack --stop should make sure that Plack really stop
...and make sure that the code is changed in usr/sbin/koha-plack as well

Hi Matthew,

I think this is a question better suited to the mailing lists:
https://koha-community.org/support/koha-mailing-lists/

Or ask some community members in IRC:
https://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/

Bugzilla is intended for problems relating to the code/software directly, I think this one is more of a configuration issue.

Welcome to the community :-)
