Migrate all Koha data from old server to new server
by Greg Vickers 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hi all, We ae running Koha on a dodgy spare desktop that we scrounged up, now we have a nice shiny Dell server to run it on. What is the easiest method of transferring the data from the old server to the new server? (Using Koha 2.2.4 on both servers.) I'm guessing that all I have to do is install Koha on the new server (meet prerequisites etc) and move across the MySQL data to the new server. Am I missing something critical? Thanks, Greg

Arabic Translation of Koha
by Mohammed Gamal 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello everyone, I've been recently working on translating Koha to Arabic, however I can across this article on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_(software) ) that says that Koha was already translated to Arabic. I didn't see any arabic PO files in the main Koha distribution though. So I just want to know if Koha was translated to Arabic or not, and if it was translated then where is the Arabic PO file.

error when creating database
by Wahyu Wijaya H. 23 Dec '07

23 Dec '07

Hi, this is my first time to installing koha on linux platform, so I'm a newbie. I'm using ubuntu linux ver. 2.12.1. I already finish my "apt-get" installation followed by the additional perl modules using MCPAN install. And when I try to install koha I see this message : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MYSQL ROOT USER PASSWORD To create the koha database, please enter your mysql server's root user password: Password: CREATING DATABASE Creating the MySQL database for Koha... ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) 256ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)' /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'syamsinar@localhost' (Using password: YES)' ERROR CREATING DATABASE Couldn't connect to the MySQL server for the reason given above.

At first I thought, maybe it is because I haven't set the password for mysql (I put blank when the installation ask me to enter mysql root password), so I go back to the terminal and type mysqladmin password, and then I got this message : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- root@yps-013:/home/syamsinar/koha-2.2.4# mysqladmin password mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)' root@yps-013:/home/syamsinar/koha-2.2.4# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- please help me, what should I do?

Hold/ reserve
by Dora Brach 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hi all, We are thinking about getting Koha for our school library. One thing that I didn't like when I tried a demo was the fact that when I put a book on hold and then the book was returned, there was no message showing me that there was a hold on that book. Am I overlooking something? This was one of the main problems I saw. With the present system I have, when a book is returned, if there is a hold on it, it comes up with a message in red that so and so has a hold on the book. Any help would be appreciated. And I'm in and out during the summer so may not get back to this for a week or so. Thanks, Dora Dora Brach Library Media Specialist Mountainburg Schools dorab(a)dragons.wsc.k12.ar.us

I just upgraded koha to v.2.2.6 on windows. Attached is the opac screen. Note that some of the features available to 2.2.5 are missing: Member cardlog in (for member to log in to their account using their member ID#) After a book is retrieved, the option to Request a book, hold etc, vitual bookshelf... Were those features done away with in v.2.2.6? --------------------------------- Get your email and see which of your friends are online - Right on the new Yahoo.com

A hint for tutorials
by Rafael Carrascosa 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hello, Im trying to import a CDS/ISIS data base to koha by first converting it to MARC format. The tutorials in the kohadocs do not apply to my case or i cant make them work properly. I think im lacking documentation, specially about the structure of a MARC ISO file VS the structure of a CDS/ISIS ISO file. Does anyone have links that can help me? Thanks in advance, Rafael Carrascosa

MySQL using 99% CPU and making web site slow to a crawl
by Greg Vickers 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi all, Over the last few days that the web side of our Koha installation has been slowing to a crawl. It usually happens in the afternoon (our time) and has only been happening since librarians from interstate have been making entries for their libraries. So it could be related to something they are doing, or an entry they have made, I'm waiting for them to get back to me on what they were doing on Koha when the system slowed down. I logged on when this happened yesterday noticed that MySQL is using 99% of the CPU time. I scheduled a time last night to restart MySQL and Apache and when I logged back on Koha was running fine and MySQL was not using up 99% CPU time. I restarted MySQL and Apache and Koha is behaving normally. I don't know what to do to investigate MySQL to find out why it is using up so much CPU time, or if there is some abnormal data entered in the Koha web site that causes MySQL to do this. Can anyone give me some tips or pointers on what to do? Thanks, Greg p.s. this Debian host has been up for almost 200 days and is fully patched

OPAC user password
by Carol Ku 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

In Koha v.2.2.6 (windows), looks like the user name and password was set up in intranet. I remember that in earlier versions, user is allowed to change their password in OPAC. But I don't seem to see that feature available in v.2.2.6 Any idea? --------------------------------- Low, Low, Low Rates! Check out Yahoo! Messenger's cheap PC-to-Phone call rates.
