Importing records from Koha 3.01 into 4.02
by David M. Bucknell 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Dear Koha Friends, We have tried to bring the records in by two methods, first to point at the old database when installing 4.02; secondly, to do a fresh installation and then using tools > marc staging to import the files already exported from the old system. The first installation seems to work, but searching finds no records. Using the second method, we can see a list of records, but only one of them (the first one) has a Bib number and after clicking on "Import" the progress bar never advances. Sorry for such a clueless question. Does anyone have some clues for us? We are using Marc 21, by the way. Thank you, David -- http://intknowledge.com 91 Suthisan, Dindaeng, Bangkok 10400 Thailand: 084 329 1183; 02 693 8144 Outside Thailand: +66 84 329 1183 (cell); +66 2 693 8144

Re: [Koha] Apache bad username

What OS are you using? Debian or centos...? I think your problem is because of wrong configuration apache before. You should remove apache and all its configurations then install a fresh apache2. If u are using debian, ubuntu, you can check for koha packages install on ubuntu, it's an easies way, i think. Here is some command if u can't reinstall your Os. $ Sudo apt-get remove - -purge apache2 apache2.2-common This will remove all configurations file, maybe remove koha , and mail server. Be warning about this. Next $ sudo apt-get autoremove This clear all another dependence program and their config files. Next try reinstall apache again. Hope this help! And should not install as root, just add user and give him full admin privileges. But even with root, it should work! Best regards! Nguyen Quoc Uy

apache bad user name
by Marty 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

After only doing usually very smooth upgrades for quite a while I had to do a fresh install of Koha. To be honest, it hasn't gotten any easier over time. Anyway, after getting all the dependencies etc. installed, I got stuck at "sudo apache2ctl restart" which returns "apache2: bad user name ccclibrary-koha Action 'restart' failed. (Or Action 'configtest' failed when running as root) The Apache error log may have more information" The apache error log is sadly empty. A Google search tells me a temporary fix was to edit the file in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf It said to look for this: User ${APACHE_RUN_USER} Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP} and change it to this: User www-data Group www-data But that seems useless, as that is what envvars says already. Anyway, I tried it but it had no effect. Any ideas are welcome Marty

Problem in searching the catalog
by Sander898 16 Dec '12

16 Dec '12

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a strange problem, I explain: I have imported one record in Koha, the record has one title formed by some word: "Alice in wonderland" The problem is that when I search this record in the catalog as "Library catalog" I have some problems, I mean: Library catalog: "A" [search]> ok, Koha find the record Library catalog: "Al" [search]> ok, Koha find the record Library catalog: "Ali" [search]> Koha can't find the record Library catalog: "Alic" [search]> Koha can't find the record Library catalog: "Alice" [search]> Koha can't find the record Instead if I search for the other words of the title Koha works well, it seems that the first word of the title has some problems if i search more than two letters as "Library catalog"; because if I do the research as "Title" also the first word "Alice" works well, and Koha find the record. Have you an idea of what is the problem causing this issue? I have try to restart the Zebra server, to do a manual re-index with -R; and also to re-import the record, but the problem persist. Thanks and regards Sander -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Problem-in-searching-the-catalog-tp573686… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
