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

How much flexibility is there in the use of different label configurations with the new label function in KOHA? Thanks, Mark L.

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. Best Regards, Mohammed ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary, and those who don't." http://sl4shb0rked.wordpress.com Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

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.

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

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

Hi In order to try out Koha, I have installed Perl, Apache and MySQL to the places required. The oldest version of MySQL I could find though was 4.1.
