Koha Presentation
by Joshua Ferraro 06 Aug '04

06 Aug '04

Hi all, I've got a Koha presentation at the OLC annual conference (http://www.heightslibrary.org/webmaster/olc_showcase/annual.php) and I'd like to put together a list of Koha features that folks are working on. I'll probably write up a brief synopsis of features similar to the one I did last time I presented on Koha (http://kados.org/LibraryScience/koha_at_a_glance.html) So if you're working on something exciting let me know and I'll include it. Other than that I'll be relying on release-notes, etc. Thanks, Joshua

Thanks! I modified the file /etc/koha-httpd.conf to add the line "Listen 8080" and copy to /etc/httpd/conf.d/koha-httpd.conf. Can somebody recommend to me a manual for user and administrator for koha-2?, thanks. ¿Alguien me puede recomendar un manual para usuario u administrador de Koha-2?, gracias.

Sounds like your server does not listen on 8080. Look for a line Listen 8080 in the config files, or some line containing 8080 and LISTEN in the output of the command netstat -an. If neither are there, add the Listen line to a config file, perhaps even koha_httpd.conf Hope that helps, -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing Please email about: BT alternative for line rental+DSL; Education on SMEs+EU FP6; office filing that works fast _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Koha's call number vs. our library's call number
by Hans Henderson 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

As I mentioned in my "hierarchical question" posting, the shelf ordering system for one of our book item types (graded readers) is by reading difficulty level. To accommodate this, I've created an alphanumeric local call number unique to each item (copy of a title) I'm also using this as a barcode number. the first part of the number shows the level, then the set, then the titles, and then the individual copies. So Q010A04 means "the fourth copy of title A in set 010 at reading difficulty level Q". I plan to put this local call number into Koha's barcode field in the items table, and link that field to MARC 852c - please confirm I got at least that right, or should I use a 9xx? But I see that the *Koha* call number field is numeric. Can we just leave the Koha call number field empty? I saw Chris Cormack's tip on changing the dewey column's data type to varchar within SQL, but messing with the internals at my current newbie level makes me a bit nervous. Plus, I will be pulling in deweys from many of my MARC records, so where this is so, I'd rather store them where they're supposed to go in Koha in case we need that data later. So more to the point, how do we ignore this data in the meantime, and use the barcode field everywhere in Koha as a local call number field? I'd really appreciate some details as to how to do this, as pertains to both the opac and the intranet. Or alternatively, I'd also appreciate feedback on how I'm totally off-base regarding normal library practices <g>, along with suggestions on how to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Thanks, Hans

Hi! I installed Koha-2 on Fedora-C2 with httpd-2.0.49, mysql-3.23, perl-5.8. When I installed Koha, I used the installer.pl script, and the installation was successfully. But when I want try to connect to http://myserver:8080 the connection was refused. And my Web Server is OK if I connect to http://myserver I try to see the file /usr/local/koha/log but is empty. I saw the file /var/log/httpd/error_log and it's OK. And I visited the Koha archives and I saw the collection of prior postings to the list. But I still have the problem Thanks for your help.

28 Jul '04

Hi Everybody: I've started working in a project that aims to migrate from ISIS to Koha. We've our databases in CEPAL Layout, I've been told that this is very common in Latin American libraries (I'm in Uruguay, South America). I want to know if some has done this before or is in the process of doing this, I'm interested in sharing goals and experience. I'm also going to work in translation to Spanish of the interface, any help in this area will be also appreciated. Andres -- Andres Tarallo Universidad ORT Uruguay
