[Koha-zebra] Connecting to zebrasrv using yaz-client

[Eric Bégin]

Hi,

My goal is to connect and perform searches on the zebrasrv using yaz-client.

I saw that many folks asking information about how to do it, but I never 
found a complete solution.  Hopefully, this thread may help other people 
in the future.  Once I'll be able to connect and perform search, I'll 
transfer the content of this thread to the wiki.

Thank you all in advance for your help.

What I did so far:
The first time I tried to access zebrasrv after Koha's installation I 
got the following error:
Connecting...error = System (lower-layer) error: Connection refused

In order to connect to zebrasrv, use the following command:

$ yaz-client
 > auth username/password
Authentication set to Open (username/password)
 > open localhost:9999/biblios
Connecting...error = System (lower-layer) error: Connection refused

username and password are the information you specified during Koha 
installation.  You can also find this information in the koha-conf.xml file.

When I got this error, I discover that we need to uncomment the 
following line in the koha-conf.xml file
<listen id="publicserver" >tcp:@:9999</listen>
and then, restart zebrasrv
<kohapath>/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh -restart

in the output, you should now see a new line
13:19:58-29/04 [server] Adding dynamic listener on tcp:@:9999 id=3

Now, that where I'm stuck. The open localhost:9999/biblios command gives:
Connecting...OK.
Sent initrequest.
Connection rejected by v3 target.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric
