In Koha menu "Administration > Z39.50/SRU servers administration

you'll find the hostname/port for the Library of Congress are 
lx2.loc.gov:210 - thus you could test if this host is accessible from 
your own host:


$ telnet lx2.loc.gov 210
Trying 140.147.239.58...
Connected to lx2.loc.gov.
Escape character is '^]'.

$ nc -vz lx2.loc.gov 210
Connection to lx2.loc.gov (140.147.239.58) 210 port [tcp/z3950] succeeded!

If your output looks else you'll probably have to talk to your 
network/firewall administrator.


Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael

One thing to look for is to see if the ports used for the Z39.50 services
you are trying to access are blocked by your organisation's firewall.

Or maybe the Z39.50 sources are no longer available... I'm sure there is a
way to check if they are, but not sure how to myself.

Dear all,

I have added several Z39.50 interfaces to my library but for some reason
searching through Z39.50 no longer works; I get a connection timeout error
message.

Where should I start looking to remedy this?

Thank you for your response.

Which ports should I check? No Z39.50 service is working, not even the
Library of Congress.

Re: [Koha] Can't send email from koha

2023-10-14 Thread Δημήτρης Δαλαγιώργος
Thank you for your response.

It proved to be even simpler than that: I had forgotten to make the smtp
server the default mail server, so Koha was trying to use the localhost to
send the emails, and failed.
