I have a small lab with four machines whic dual boot Windows Vista and Linux Unbuntu 7.10.  This is a exercise for me but I'd like to demo to the local library.

I think this is the big problem - it's mirrored by the error that you
got in settings-tester.pl.

Checking opensrf_core.xml, you have two different passwords for the
"opensrf" Jabber user - "mypass" and "mypassword". These passwords
have to be correct so that the opensrf Jabber user can connect to
Jabber and talk to the router Jabber user

You're missing the ending semicolon-singlequote characters for the
command; it should be:

 perl -MNet::Domain -e 'print Net::Domain::hostfqdn();'

The list of Perl modules shows that Net::Z3950::ZOOM wasn't installed
successfully, probably because indexdata's test server is still down.
See http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-general/2008-August/000838.html
for details and a workaround. You won't need this until you get the
staff client running, though, so no rush.

We also see the failure to connect to the Jabber router, which I
covered in issue 1.

You can run this as any user that has .srfsh.xml set up in their home directory.

> Copy /openils/conf/srfsh.xml.example to .srfsh.xml in the home directory of each user you want to use to run the srfsh command line client for testing OpenSRF, and edit .srfsh.xml as follows: "

You can copy the configuration file to the home directory of any user.
I often have /home/opensrf/.srfsh.xml and /home/dan/.srfsh.xml both
set up so that I don't have to switch users just to run some srfsh
commands.

Very helpful in diagnosing the problem - thanks!

Let us know what happens. Hopefully once you work out the Jabber
username/password problem, everything else will fall into place.
