Catalog page not showing (page not found)

I recently setup all the pieces of Sopac, and I have a problem I can't figure out. In the Sopac configuration page, I have the SOPAC URL prefix setup as catalog but when I visit http://beta.markesanlibrary.org/catalog I get a page not found error. I've gone into the performance settings and cleared the cache, but it still doesn't work.

Any ideas what may be going wrong?

Good question, you actually need to create that page. In our case, we use a view, wih the following php code in the header:

<?php
print sopac_search_form('both');

If you want to see it in action right away, try this:
http://beta.markesanlibrary.org/catalog/search/keyword/nova

(You'll also have to make sure you have the PHP filter enabled for that post.)

Ah, excellent. I am able to see the search page, but when I search for 'nova' I get this error:

» Sorry, your search produced no results.

I'm using the sample database for the time being.

Where do I start to try troubleshooting this problem?

Walk through the Locum install docs. Make sure your sphinx index has been populated and that Locum is working properly.
