can't start zebra daemon for koha

Dear Expert,

I do require zebra search engine to search records under koha library system.
I can start zebra daemon if I use zebra documentation and steps:

[root@RHEL5-koha oai-pmh]# zebrasrv-2.0 -c conf/zebra.cfg
17:29:17-11/05 [log] zebra_start 2.0.42 4ff9ad25e172e7bdcf2d8d94ea6a606ab53bcfe9

But with koha instruction daemon doesn't start:

[root@RHEL5-koha ~]# zebrasrv-2.0 -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml

17:26:26-11/05 [server] Starting server zebrasrv-2.0 pid=19047

there is no daemon service

but process id running:
[root@RHEL5-koha oai-pmh]# ps aux | grep srv
root 19047 0.1 0.3 89812 5576 pts/1 S+ 17:26 0:00 zebrasrv-2.0 -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml

any suggestions?

following software installed for zebra:
idzebra-2.0-2.0.42-1.x86_64.rpm
idzebra-2.0-debuginfo-2.0.42-1.x86_64.rpm

Please do
ls -l /var/run/koha/zebradb/bibliosocket /var/run/koha/zebradb/authoritysocket
and
cat /var/run/koha/zebradb/bibliosocket
cat /var/run/koha/zebradb/authoritysocket

[root@RHEL5-koha ~]# cat /var/run/koha/zebradb/bibliosocket

what to do with these two?

File type "s" mean "socket" in "srw-rw-rw- ..."
So with koha configuration file, zebra service creates two sockets and listen to these two sockets.
The query send to the koha or within koha will pass to those two sockets.

> # ps aux | grep srv

It shows zebrsrv is up and running.

You might want to check koha documentation that how to test.

after installing KOHA, I added several records, but when i try searching for record I get no results (book not found). Do I have to have zebra search engine to search for item under KOHA, or zebra's job is just to speed search query?
