A few more clues.
I have restarted the entire server a few times and each time I have had to create new /var/lock/koha/zebradb/bibilos and /var/lock/koha/zebradb/authorities directories.
I have also had to recreate the /var/run/koha/zebradb/bibliosocket and authoritysocket directories each restart.
Hi John,
Nearly there!! :), OK, so 2 issues here...
=== zebrasrv keeps restarting ===
are you running the zebra-daemon?, that will probably be the reason why your zebrasrv keeps restarting
you can check like this...
$ ps -ef | grep 'koha-zebra-ctl'
8591 ? Ss 0:00 daemon --name=koha-zebra-ctl --errlog=/home/chris/koha/var/log/koha-zebradaemon.err --stdout=/home/chris/koha/var/log/koha-zebradaemon.log --output=/home/chris/koha/var/log/koha-zebradaemon-output.log --verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 --user=chris chris -- /usr/bin/zebrasrv -f /home/chris/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
if its running, then kill it while you troubleshoot.
=== re-creating new /var/ dirs for zebra ===
I think you manually creating these files is causing problems
when zebrasrv sees these files (/var/lock/koha/zebradb/* , and var/run/koha/zebradb/*socket) ,
it assumes that another zebra process is already running and using those files,
so it tries to start using tcp , not unix sockets.
because those files exist, your zebra isnt starting correctly

try deleting those files, then starting zebrasrv again, and look for the 'Adding dynamic listener' lines during startup
$ zebrasrv -f /home/mtj/koha.single/etc/koha-conf.xml
