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.

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.

Could you pls give some idea of the expected release date of Koha 3.0 as I am putting everything on hold till it is released. Thanx Nitin

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

Hourly Charge using Koha
by Jim V 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

First off, thanks for this wonderful program and wonderful support. We are trying to get Koha up and running to replace an old Winnebago system they have in place. Most of the transistion seems to be going smoothly, but we've had a few unsolvable questions. The most dire question so far is this: Our Library consists of mostly video tapes / DVD's / audio tapes that are checked out to students for 2 hours maximum, so they can watch them in a computer lab. We would like to modify the late fee charges so that they are charged per-hour of being late, instead of the whole day. Would this be possible in the current charging configuration, or would we have to modify the charging script to accomplish this type of biling? Thanks again, Jim V

new koha installation not working properly
by khayos 30 Sep '06

30 Sep '06

Hello, I've got a new Koha installation that is behaving rather oddly. I should say that, to begin with, the database tables 'systempreferences' and 'itemtypes' did not exist -- I had to create them manually. Subsequently, I had to populate 'systempreferences' with as many of the entries that I could find, but I suspect I haven't got them all, or that some of the settings are incorrect. At any rate, the problem appears to be that, once I add a biblio record to the system, I can't see it. I try searching for it, and I get a blank screen: nothing shows up when I try to display using 'normal', 'marc', or 'isbd'. What should I be looking for? Does anyone know what might have gone wrong during the installation process? I certainly didn't see anything amiss... Further detail: Koha version: 2.2.5 Operating system: Xubuntu (descendent of Debian) Any help at all that can be offerred will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, JR
