Hi Craig, Thank you so much for your detailed instructions. When I do telnet, it doesn't give me a 'connection refused'. It simply doesn't respond after connecting. I have rebooted my server and restarted zebra as instructed. URL:port/biblios also doesn't give me anything even after I have rebuilt zebra. What do you think is wrong?
I'm hoping to use MarcEdit's ILS integration module as I have lots of files to tweak later.
