Hi tzabal, I'm not an expert on zebra but I know koha uses two different zebra databases: one for authorities and the other for biblios. In a standard install they are stored on /var/lib/koha/zebradb/. During the install procedure you supply two pairs of user/pass, one for each. This users/pass are stored in the zebra config files on /etc/koha/zebradb (zebra-authorities.cfg and zebra-biblios.cfg files). When you launch the koha-zebra-daemon process it uses those files to start the server and provide access to the databases. Koha itself uses those user/password pairs to access zebra. Koha's config file is /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml, there you will find where to change that info, which should be consistent with that in koha/zebradb/zebra*.cfg Good luck To+ On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 10:05 AM, tzabal <tzabal@it.teithe.gr> wrote:

Hello,

I have a question about the Zebra database user and password that we have to provide when we run the Koha installer (Makefile.PL).

Koha installer asks for the name of the user of Zebra Database and his password. In this step, we have to specify a user and password that we entered before? Because i don't remember providing this details when i installed Zebra using the apt-get-debian-lenny.sh shell script. Also, can you tell me where and how i can view the contents of the Zebra Database?
