The problem is touched upon in http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9749 *Bug 9749* <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9749> - Placeholders in koha-conf.xml generated by the Debian packages by Magnus Enger The workaround for my Z39.50 situation would seem to be to set the needed variables in the generated code. In a given instance of koha-conf.xml how does one set the value ZEBRA_SRU_BIBLIOS_PORT and ZEBRA_SRU_HOST in <listen id="publicserver" >tcp:@:__ZEBRA_SRU_BIBLIOS_PORT__</listen> <ZEBRA_SRU_HOST="localhost" ZEBRA_SRU_BIBLIOS_PORT="9998"> does not work.

I am running Koha 3.14.01 under Oracle VM Virtual Box and Debian 7. I have set up a couple of instances, loaded some records, and all seems to work reasonably.

Now I would like to set up the instances as Z39.50 servers. Looking at koha-conf.xml I uncommented three sections as I had previously under an older version of Koha.

It remains a mystery as how ZEBRA_SRU_BIBLIOS_PORT and ZEBRA_SRU_HOST are established.

Previous port was hard-coded as 9998.

Now how is it possible to set the port?

Currently, port 9998 is not active and working.
