[Koha-devel] koha-zebra-daemon not starting

[Barry Cannon]

Shouldn't running "zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml" (or whatever 
your path is) as the index owner give you a good indication of what is 
going on (it should at least get you pointed in the right direction as 
it should dump out the error to console)
