Dear Vimal, Myself Rekha saraswat from CDAC, Noida. I m using BOSS Linux(Debian).

 i have installed idzebra2.0 ,Net-Zoom package, YAZ3.0.38 Now the error is that can't connect to local mysql server through the socket var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. at the same time when i m trying to rebuild zebra it is showing can't find EXPLAIN schema. this problem is only with catalog search. rest of the things are working fine.

kindly help me, if you can understand my problem.

Regards Rekha

It's good that you are using Debian based distro for Koha. It seems that Koha is not able to connect to the MySQL. Try checking /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml. Find following section. .... <config> <db_scheme>mysql</db_scheme> <database>koha</database> <hostname>localhost</hostname> <port>3306</port> <user>kohaadmin</user> <pass>kohaadmin</pass> .... In your case database, user, pass may be different. So using that information try to logging in MySQL from command line # mysql -u kohaadmin -pkohadmin -h localhost Note : there is no space between "-p" and "kohaadmin" If you are not able to get mysql prompt, "mysql>", then there's the problem with login information. Let us know what happens after trying this out. -- With Regards Abhishek Amberkar RDG Library Services Mumbai, India http://www.rdg.co.in/ http://www.kohaindia.org/
