Running a koha cron job for only one of our libraries
by Chris Brown 03 Nov '25

03 Nov '25

Hello, Our koha server supports 7 libraries, each with its own database. We are running Koha 22.11.20 We wish to run the cron job longoverdue.pl for only one of the instances. I notice that the cron jobs in /etc/cron.daily/koha-common all use the command "koha-foreach" to run the job for all the enabled instances. Is there a way we can just run the job for just one specific instance? Thanks! Chris Brown

You are not crazy. We are a week late. But we still have some great content! This week George will go over a custom report to help dig deeper into hold information. If you are looking for hold history, this would be a good tool to have on hand. We will resume our regular schedule next week. https://youtu.be/icsQfSSL3ys Respectfully, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

Koha installation fails at import
by Marty 26 Oct '25

26 Oct '25

I am trying to install Koha on Ubuntu 24.04, database mariaDB I have installed Koha before, on Debian and Ubuntu, but this time it seemed harder. I finally I got to the webinstaller, after I had restored my mysqldump, to koha_bibliotheek sudo koha-list shows two instances, bibliotheek and library, not sure why. in mariaDB koha_library is an empty database. I can NOT log in to koha_library with the password I get from xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml;echo But I can log in to koha_bibliotheek, AFTER restoring my mysqldump file. Then I get to the web installer which works fine until I click on “import” at the end of “Install basic configuration settings” where my screen shows “Internal Server Error” as that seemed one of the suggestions I found Googling, I tried SET GLOBAL sql_mode = ' '; to no avail No errors in the apache log And I don’t know where to go from here. Googling didn’t get me far this time, so any ideas? Thanks, Marty

Fwd: koha-community website issue
by Chris Cormack 23 Oct '25

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Chris Cormack <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz> Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 at 06:10 Subject: Re: [Koha] koha-community website issue To: Lena Hernandez <lena.hernandez(a)equinoxoli.org> Kia ora Lena Thanks for bringing that up. The good news is there is nothing bad going on, the dns for oldbugs.koha-community.org was pointing at the old linode that ran bugzilla for about 13 years before we shifted it earlier this year. Now that linode has been turned off, that ip has been provisioned for another customer. I've deleted the dns entry for oldbugs so it will no longer resolve.

koha-community website issue
by Lena Hernandez 23 Oct '25

23 Oct '25

Hi all, An FYI for the website team for the koha-community.org site. It appears that there has been a subdomain takeover of oldbugs.koha-community. I've submitted this as a bug already, but wanted to raise the alert more generally to make sure this gets in front of the right people. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41089 Lena -- Lena Hernandez (she/her <https://pronouns.org/>) Product and Education Specialist Equinox Open Library Initiative lena.hernandez(a)equinoxOLI.org https://www.equinoxOLI.org <https://www.equinoxoli.org>phone: 877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457)

Hi all, just wanted to inform everyone that we moved the date for the maintenance releases for October to the 29th due to vacations. Felt like the delay was long enough to warrant an additional heads-up.
