[Koha] Reindexing Zebra Because there are no results found in opac and intranet search

[Alyssa Enganio Gono]

I tried to rebuild zebra using the command:

sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v mylibrary

The result shows:

Greetings,

Check the permissions on your directories. They shouldn't be root. They are
generally of the form {instance}-koha.
For example, we have a kohademo instance on a server. Perhaps something as
simple as:
$ sudo chown -vR kohademo-koha.kohademo-koha /var/lib/koha/kohademo
may fix it. CHANGE kohademo TO YOUR INSTANCE NAME.

Check your permissions.

$ cd /var/lib/koha

It looks like something's happened to your directories. These are
created when koha-create is run, but maybe something has removed them.

Run:
sudo koha-create-dirs mylibrary

this should put them back, and may fix any permission problems.
