Dear Friends, I imported some records into Koha 3.4.6. When I try to search OPAC, it list all records. Availability shows that " No items available". See the screen shot, https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/g54QpRLtGRVAKyrrgfLm6dMTjNZETYmyPJy0l… When click on records, it shows the item information, See the screen shot, https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/gChmbn-E1zckf0t9BpDqm9MTjNZETYmyPJy0l… Why it happened? How can we solve this problem? -- Vimal Kumar V.

Re: [Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 82, Issue 20

Hi Joel, You are probably safe to get rid of some old system logs. I am using a different distro than you but I think these are in the same place. If I look in /var/log on my system, I see a number of files named syslog.N.gz (N being a number). These go back a few days. I believe at one point they were building up on my system and sucking down a lot of disk space, and I did something so they would automatically delete off after a week. Wish I could tell you what that was, I don't remember. Make sure you don't delete the current one named syslog, or the one named syslog.1 but you can probably get rid of older ones just to give you some wiggle room. You should take a look at syslog.1 to get an idea of what is being recorded in there. Mine are full of the cron job entries for Koha. Something else that might help you is the "du" command. You can find some info about that here: http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles/22.html or just do "man du" . I have used this in the past to find the directories that were particularly large, then figured out what was being stored there and if it was necessary. Unfortunately I can't recommend anything else, as I don't know your system. Deleting the wrong file can cause havoc with Linux. Linux will even let you delete the entire file system with one command when you are logged in as root, so be careful. I would suggest you try for some more help on the Redhat forums.

Koha logs
by Linda 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

All, I do think it would be helpful to have more documentation about Koha logs in general, including its use of MySQL logs if possible. and how to deal with those. Just my two cents worth. Of course, this is coming from someone who will be retiring soon, but hopefully still be involved in the Koha community to some extent. Oh, and someone who is woefully ignorant of the log files.

HTTP 500 error from koha server while importing Z39.50 records

I wonder how may I debug the following error: When performing a specific query against remote Z39.50 origins I'm presented with a 500 http error from page cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&z3950=1&frameworkcode=&breedingid=25518 . Import works fine when importing other titles. Should you wish to try it yourself, the ISBN in question is 0417037600, and the Z39.50 origins that provide results are UK - UNIVERSITY OF EXETER lib.ex.ac.uk:210 INNOPAC USMARC utf8 and UK - NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SCOTLAND z3950.nls.uk:7290 voyager USMARC MARC-8 MARC records retrieved are as follows: -- LDR 00883nam a2200253 4500 001 16434695 003 OCoLC 008 781007s1978 xxkaf r 000 1 eng 020 _a0417037600 (pbk.) 082 04 _a823/.9/1 _218 100 1 _aDe Christoforo, Ron. 245 10 _aGrease / _cby Ron de Christoforo ; based on the screenplay by Bronte Woodard ; adaptation by Allan Carr ; based on the original musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. 260 _aLondon : _bMagnum Books, _c1978. 300 _a220 p., [16] p. of plates : _bill. ; _c18 cm. 650 0 _aFiction in English. 700 1 _aWoodard, Bront�e. 700 1 _aCarr, Allan. 700 1 _aJacobs, Jim. 700 1 _aCasey, Warren. 856 00 _uhttp://billdouglas.ex.ac.uk/eve/ _zSearch other film resources in the Bill Douglas Centre database 907 _a.b1804203x 931 _a791.430973 950 _a791.430973 907 _akn -- LDR 00972 am a2200289 x 4500 001 1251685 005 20100825160900.0 008 781007s1978 enkaf w 00011 eng 015 _aB7833253 020 _a0417037600 035 _90306-85760 049 00 _aNL _b800606 _cNL _d800606 _eE _f200 _gNL _h* _iNL _zNL 082 00 _a823/.9/1 _218 _dF 100 20 _aDe Christoforo, Ron. 245 10 _aGrease _cby Ron de Christoforo _cbased on the screenplay by Bronte Woodard _cadaptation by Allan Carr _cbased on the original musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey 260 _aLondon _bMagnum Books _c1978 300 _a220p,[16]p of plates _bill _c18cm _epbk 350 00 _a£0.95 500 _aAlso published: New York : Pocket Books, 1978 650 0 _aEnglish fiction. 700 11 _aWoodard, Bronte. 700 11 _aCarr, Allan. 700 11 _aJacobs, Jim. 700 11 _aCasey, Warren. 900 10 _aChristoforo _hRon de _xSee _aDe Christoforo, Ron _z100 955 00 _aNPB1.78.1232 _bNPB 956 _aNLS -- I know it could be due to the unbelievably oh-so-70's title concerned, but again... :-)
