Koha on Ubuntu packages obsolete?
by Marty 03 Nov '25

03 Nov '25

Hi all, This is more of a general remark, on https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages it says: WARNING! This page is obsolete. It is being archived for historical purposes. It may contain documentation which is not currently correct or which has been deprecated. See Installation Documentation for current information. However, if you click on Installation Documentation it sends you back to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_Documentation, from where you get send back to where you came from. Kind of a catch-22. I just assume it is current anyway Marty

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

Re: [Koha] Running a koha cron job for only one of our libraries

Hi Chris, It's like Joel says. In that scenario, you're pretty much limited to manually putting in the jobs on a per-instance basis. I think a few of us devs are trying to slowly add more system preference driven controls for controlling which cronjobs are run for which instances, so that koha-foreach iterates through the instances but they only run for particular instances, but it's very slow going. One thing to add... you'll want to use "koha-shell" to run your cronjob. Under the hood, all koha-foreach is really doing is running the following: koha-shell ${name} -c "${cmd}"; So you could add to /etc/cron.daily/koha-common the following: koha-shell INSTANCE -c "/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/longoverdue.pl --parameter 1 --parameter 2" David Cook Senior Software Engineer Prosentient Systems Suite 7.03 6a Glen St Milsons Point NSW 2061 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 -----Original Message----- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 16:38:07 +0000 From: Chris Brown <chris(a)stayawake.co.uk> To: koha <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz> Subject: [Koha] Running a koha cron job for only one of our libraries Message-ID: <CANo1qi1bdHVsmY1pfhN1s-TJDcRQUNYPo=_sEym_WG9=vbmNVg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hello, Our koha server supports 7 libraries, each with its own database.

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

---------- 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.

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)
