thanks for  all your help so far .its very much appreciated.i have a
small problem. i have written some startup script to automatically run
the evergreen services needed to start evergreen.this is because our
server goes off at a specific time and comes back on again at another
time.i was testing the scripts .they work well. butr whenever i try
accesing the opac over the web interface and i make a search .the
results list comes .but the actual results dont come.
all is see is the    1-8 of 8 resultset  list but no actual list
itself.i asm thinking its some sort of javascript error . do you have
any suggestions on how i can reslove this? i tried having a look at
the  javascript debugger from the mozilla browser which i was
using.its giving me these errors.
about the  opensrf router not connected to the network or something of
that sort.no results came the second this i tried it .just the
progress bar   which kept on moving and trying to get hits.any
suggestions??
