[Koha] z3950 problem in 2.0.0pre2

[Krzysztof Michalak]

Hi,

I'm trying to get koha 2.0.0pre2 running. I got through the basic
installation and even figured out a few of the bugs along the way
(missing Event.pm, some hardcoded paths, etc). Now I run the
processz3950queue deamon and try to add an acquisition using a z3950
ISBN search. However, I get a "Still ?? requests to go" message.

If I inspect the processz3950queue log file I see first a number of
lines resembling :

Malformed UTF-8 character (1 byte, need 2, after start byte 0xd0) at
/usr/local/koha/C4/Biblio.pm line 2265.
Malformed UTF-8 character (1 byte, need 2, after start byte 0xd8) at
/usr/local/koha/C4/Biblio.pm line 2266.

Then I get the following :

starting loop
Library ==>  at
/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 156.
Processing isbn="0201648652" at Library    (1 forks)
Library ERROR: Can't call method "option" on an undefined value at
/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/processz3950queue line 157.

     done.

To me it seems like the connection to the database failed (the option
method is being called on $conn). In fact I did a bit of debugging and
it seems (I could be wrong) that the servername, database, user, etc
variables are never set correctly.

In the parameters, the z3950.loc.gov server is listed with the default
values after installation. (checked =1)

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks,

Chris
