Hi all, I am installing the freshly released koha-3.00.00. All is going well and I am impressed with the Debian packaing install!!! Much improved. Now ... Perl Z3950 installation. The environment we are in is 100% firewalled from *EVERYTHING* except for one single egress port: port 80. Here is the error: # Failed test 'connection to 'z3950.indexdata.com/gils'' Anyone know which port I must open up for this test to pass? cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The manual said Windows XP/SP2 or better so I installed Linux.

2211 iirc. you can also force install. #perl -MCPAN -e shell
force install ZOOM
Hopes that helps. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT

Possibly 210 also, and the Library of Congress uses port 7090.

Thanks. Forcing an install is one thing. If we cannot access Z3950 because of firewalling the problem remains. This will become a serious problem for us if a variety of ports are use by Z3950 servers out there. Is this the case? Or can I rely on just a select (small) number of ports being used? I ask since I have no experience with the protocol. Something will have to be done at our end to open up the firewall and accommodate the protocol, I just do not know what yet. cheers rick -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The manual said Windows XP/SP2 or better so I installed Linux.

Hi Rick A list from indexdata's site shows that sites use many different ports for their z39 service. http://targettest.indexdata.com/find.html? dc.title=^a*&_sort=dc.title&_count=9999&_search=Search # Title Host Connection Reliability Host Port DB 7 abdurTest [untested] 172.16.21.205 80 default Test Edit XML 10 ABES 46/46 = 100% carmin.sudoc.abes.fr 210 abes-z39-public Test Edit XML 11 ABES 46/46 = 100% carmin.sudoc.abes.fr 8859 abes-z39-public Test Edit XML 12 ABES 47/47 = 100% carmin.sudoc.abes.fr 10646 abes-z39-public Test Edit XML you might have to open your firewall up a bit. Cheers, Mason.

Thanks Mason. I am now looking into a specialised network soln (using Linux vserver + iptables) to solve this problem. I can see we cannot just open ports one by one! cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The manual said Windows XP/SP2 or better so I installed Linux.

I'm pretty much allowing all outgoing on my firewall, but I have a little trusted network... If you wanted to be really picky, you could use an allow-list of those z39 servers perhaps. I cant really think of another nice way to do it. HTH Mason.
