Kudos, that's it, i'm (almost) sure. On line 246, replace : my $stj=$dbh->prepare("update z3950results set active=1 where id=?"); by my $stj=$dbi->prepare("update z3950results set active=1 where id=?"); As $dbh is defined BEFORE the fork, and may create the problem, while $dbi is defined INSIDE the if{} following the fork and is a process-specific handler. confirm this works on the list pls. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
