[Kete] Installing Kete on Debian Lenny

[John Billings]

Hi,

I'm working on getting kete running on a Lenny VPS.  Just following the 
Etch tutorial, I've managed to get it mostly installed, but stuck on 
configuring the site.  The site I'm working on is here:

http://newitmake.org/

I'm not really sure whats supposed to be on the front page, I went 
through the install menus and I tried adding a basket, but on the front 
page now I get this:

===
500 Error!

Oops! An error has prevented this page from loading.

It has been logged and will be looked into by a system Administrator 
shortly.

What now?

I peeked at the Production log:

Before this, I was having trouble with the Zebra integration.  It seems 
there was discrepancy somewhere about what port it should be on.  It 
appears to be running on port 9999:

kete at kete:~$ lsof -i | grep zebra
zebrasrv 1705 kete    4u  IPv6   2031       TCP *:9999 (LISTEN)

In the administration interface, it had the "public" server on port 
9901, I tried changing that here:

http://newitmake.org/site/zoom_dbs/list

Here is a cut/paste of the table there:
===
Zoom Dbs
Database name 	Description 	Host 	Port 	Zoom user 	Oai Pmh Repository Sets 	

No Entries
public 	Where we store our publicly searchable records (about topics, 
images, videos, etc.). 	localhost 	9999 	kete 	- 	
loading indicator 	Edit 	Delete 	Show
private 	Where we store records that are only searchable to privileged 
Kete users (about topics, images, video, etc.). 	localhost 	9902 	kete 	- 	
loading indicator 	Edit 	Delete 	Show
===

I followed the docs I found in zebradb/README to start up Zebra, when I 
start without daemonizing, I just noticed the private instance is not 
starting:

kete at kete:~/nim/zebradb$ zebrasrv -f conf/kete-zebra-servers.xml

Well I'm not sure why the private one is not starting, and how that 
affects things.  I did try to create a basket and upload some files, but 
this only produces some more 500 errors like above.

Thanks for any insight into this.

Best,
John
