[Koha-devel] zebra on Koha dev install

[Christopher Curry]

I overheard somewhere (though I can't remember the details) that using 
the dev install mode makes it easier to upgrade koha.  I've never done a 
koha upgrade; we're not fully migrated yet, but I'd like to facilitate 
future upgrades as much as possible.

I've had no problem setting up a koha standard install; when I try a dev 
install, my zebra server won't run.  The server reports on boot up (and 
when I manually start Zebra) that it is starting the Zebra Daemon and 
Zebra Server, but when I look for the process (top -c), it's not there.  
No error messages are generated when starting the server.

Is there something special that must be done with Zebra conf on a dev 
install?

Can someone explain the advantages of a dev install?  I understand that 
it allows you to run the majority of the koha server files directly from 
a git clone.  I see how this could simplify an upgrade, but are there 
other advantages that will encourage me to get to the bottom of this?

Thanks for your time.
