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.

Some migration issues
by Ata ur Rehman 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Dear Koha Lovers / Koha Community I have installed Koha's new version (2.2.7) on Windows XP. My previous data is on an MS Access Database. I am in the process of migration data from MS Access by using MARCEdit. I have mapped my fields according to the MARC Format. Now I want to use my Accession Number as Barcode in Koha because that is the primary key for my bibliographic records. Is there any way to import all my accession numbers (I am mapping this on 001 field of MARC) into barcode field of items table of koha? Also I am trying to learn MARC from LOC website but unfortunately, 9xx fields are not available at loc, are these fields obsleted?

Arabic Translation of Koha
by Mohammed Gamal 23 Jun '10

23 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...

Auto-Barcode?
by Gignac, Jason (HAS-SAT) 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hi all - I know this should be really easy, so I'm sorry if I'm submitting a total noob question, but here goes. I'm trying to change the barcode field so that we can just manually type in our barcode numbers, instead of having one automatically supplied. However, I changed the auto barcode parameter to 0, then to -1, then just tried deleting the parameter, and it seems to have noeffect - when I go to make a biblio record, it still sticks a serialized barcode number in (1, right now, but if I save the record, next time its 2, etc), and it won't even let me type over it. How do I set barcode rules to say, more or less, that I'll manage them manually? -- Jason Gignac Macintosh Specialist, ITRC Harcourt Assessment 19500 Bulverde Road San Antonio, TX 78259-3701 (210) 339-8528 Phone (210) 339-8536 Fax HarcourtAssessment.com

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'm trying to run the tmpl_process3.pl script on windows environmnet but > it > is giving error. Could any body plz tell me whether this scripts run on > windows platform or not. It running for me but script slightly modified: tmpl_process3.pl: #my $xgettext = './xgettext.pl'; my $xgettext = 'xgettext.pl'; (and small add for utf-8, if need I send) Locale::PO also needed. And Win32 binaries of GNU gettext-tools 0.13.1 installed (this one only needed for creating clear po-files). For getting english_clear_opac_css.po used next command: perl tmpl_process3.pl create -r -i ../../../opac-html/opac-tmpl/css/en/ -s english_clear_opac_css.po For building templates used: mkdir ..\..\..\opac-html\opac-tmpl\css\uk perl tmpl_process3.pl install -o ..\..\..\opac-html\opac-tmpl\css\uk\ -s ..\..\..\..\css_opac_uk_UA\css_opac_uk_UA.po -i ..\..\..\opac-html\opac-tmpl\css\en\ -r and manually copied some ommited files (images, js, ...)

Re: [Koha] Z3950 search problem
by David Shaner 22 Mar '07

22 Mar '07

Hi Sun, I am going to make a guess that is has something to do with the ZOOM or Yaz installation. I am running Ubuntu 6.1 and am not receiving errors. I had installed Koha on CentOS and was receiving the same error as below until I built an RPM from the yaz src .rpm. I hope this helps. Dave ----- Original Message ---- From: cat tom <illgsm(a)yahoo.ca> To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 12:09:11 PM Subject: [Koha] Z3950 search problem I met a problem when I tried to do a Z3950 Search. After checked the Z targets on the popup window and clicked 'search' button, I only got a 'server internal error. The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request'. The traces recorded in the /usr/local/koha/koha-error_log read as below: " 44:14 2007] [error] [client 19x.16x.11x.25x] Premature end of script headers: search.pl, referer: http://192.197.209.239:8080/cgi-bin/koha/z3950/search.pl?bibid=&isbn=159140…" Then after read some relevant mailing lists, I started the z3950-daemon-launch.sh. However, the problem remains the same. Even the logged errors remain the same without any useful details. The Z3950 log file is always empty. Any clues that can help me give heads up to solving the problem? My box is Debian. Thanks a lot! Sun The Koha is installed on a debian box. Be smarter than spam.
