Thanks Chris & Nicole Chris I do as you say but it gives me this message : fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches. Did you intend to checkout 'origin/3.6.x' which can not be resolved as commit? How to solve this ?

Fwd: Re: Search on Koha fix?
by Lenora Oftedahl 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

FWD, please reply to FORH(a)critfc.org she is troubleshooting our upgrade to 3.6. This is a new install of Debian Squeeze and koha from the koha-common debian package. The database was loaded from a koha 3.00 version we've been using for several years. Currently the opac site works perfectly on port 80 but the catalog search function in the internet site on port 8080 fails. A search on "trout" on the internet site returns "No results found - No results match your search..." while the same search on the opac site returns 2412 results. Output from #ps aux|grep zebra is this: 1001 1167 0.0 0.0 2156 540 ? S Mar28 0:00 daemon --name=streamnet-koha-zebra --errlog=/var/log/koha/streamnet/zebra-error.log --stdout=/var/log/koha/streamnet/zebra.log --output=/var/log/koha/streamnet/zebra-output.log --verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 --user=streamnet-koha.streamnet-koha -- zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/sites/streamnet/koha-conf.xml 1001 1168 0.0 0.2 27828 4260 ? S Mar28 0:00 zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/sites/streamnet/koha-conf.xml root 7321 0.0 0.0 3308 776 pts/2 S+ 09:19 0:00 grep zebra The rebuild_zebra script runs fine. The global search setting is set to use zebra. I've seen a lot of references to permissions being set correctly but little info about what exactly they should be. My /usr/share/koha files were installed with root:root rwxr-xr-x ownership. The other directories are a mix as installed although I had to change a few of them along the way to get some of the scripts to run. I get the same error when using a browser on the localhost machine and when I use a browser on a different machine. Ideas on why opac search works and internet search fails on the same machine?

Hi Lenora, For reference, I'm installing on Ubuntu (11 something, the latest), using Koha 3.6.4. I'm assuming it's an issue with the Search functions like I was having? My biggest help was following the Install.ubuntu directions that are found in the koha install files. The best way for me to be able to direct you, would be if you were to tell me currently what's happening. Errors with running the migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl script? I found over and over again that correct permissions were an issue, and making sure my correct environment variables were continually being exported (I currently have to do it every time I startup ... I'll have to fix that soon). Anyway, best would be if you could tell me where you're at, and I would love to be able to help!

There aren't many people on this list and you might get better help by emailing the Koha list for Git help.

There is a new page in Koha 3.8 for OAI Sets, but I have never used OAI and I don't know how to document this section. The bug is here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6440 And I welcome any help in documenting this section. You can submit a documentation patch or just type in the email and I'll put it in the manual for you. Thanks a bunch! Nicole

Conference Hotels
by Nicole Engard 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi all, I know there was some talk about hotels on the list, but no real answers given. I would like to know what hotels are closest to the conference location and if you have recommendations near there that would be great as well. I think last year we had a list of 4-5 hotels that we should look at. I'd love if the locals could give us something similar this year. Nicole
