[Koha-devel] 3.8.4 interim [was: koha-zebra-daemon not starting]

A tad of clarification. I had written:

>dilemma: from the new test machine, all NEW records (biblios and items, 
>both Z39.50 imports and manual entries) are saving to our *PRODUCTION* 
>server (3.6.1) -- all EDITS of existing biblios/items are saving correctly 
>to the *TEST* server (3.8.4).

 From the install log of the production machine (passwords snipped):

# This file contains settings used
# during the installation of Koha.
# It is meant for use during future
# upgrades of Koha, and should not
# be edited.
KOHA_INSTALLED_VERSION=3.06.01.000
LOG_DIR=/var/log/koha
DB_TYPE=mysql
DB_NAME=koha306
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=koha
WEBMASTER_EMAIL=webmaster at nelson
WEBSERVER_DOMAIN=nelson
WEBSERVER_HOST=nelson

The same from the test machine:

# This file contains settings used
# during the installation of Koha.
# It is meant for use during future
# upgrades of Koha, and should not
# be edited.
KOHA_INSTALLED_VERSION=3.08.04.000
LOG_DIR=/var/log/koha
DB_TYPE=mysql
DB_NAME=koha384
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=koha
WEBMASTER_EMAIL=webmaster at server
WEBSERVER_DOMAIN=server
WEBSERVER_HOST=server



Similarities are that I restored a mysql dump from production to test and 
therefore users/staff logins/passwords are the same. The test machine is 
saving something: we experimented with entering a new book by an existing 
author; on the "1 tab" when cataloging and checking the "authority" (little 
red box at the end of the 100$a line) it correctly incremented the number 
of times "Used" from 4 to 5 - 6 - 7 each time we saved that book - but a 
subsequent "authority" search only found the 4 again. However, now 
(accidentally) checking the production machine, an "authority" search finds 
all 7  !!!  with the associated biblios and items.

Anyone got any thoughts? Is there something is the mysql "restore" that 
points to the wrong db? [I used 'mysql --user=<me> --password=my_pw koha384 
< /usr/share/koha/koha361dump_1jan12.sql]

I have fairly detailed installation notes if anyone would like them... but 
as I'll probably do another complete reinstall (before upgrading the 
production machine mid-September), I will verify and refine them -- then 
try and assist with the "documentation project."

Thanks - Paul
