Re: [Koha] ?s re Koha on a Mac - server died

Thanks, Mason. Are there some typical problems we should expect when we upgrade or does it vary? Also wondering if it would cause less problems to update to 3.4 or lower, then update again later.

Problem migrating 3.2 to 3.6
by Muhammad Abdullah 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hello, I'm attempting to upgrade from Koha version 3.2 to version 3.6 by just copying over 3.2 db into a new instance of Koha 3.6. The webinstaller ran just fine in bringing the db up to date, bar some errors about duplicate fields that are already in the tables. However, I received these errors when I ran "remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl" script, which produces the following output: "...................................................... Use of uninitialized value $biblioitem_tag in numeric ne (!=) at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Biblio.pm line 3184. Use of uninitialized value $biblio_tag in numeric ne (!=) at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Biblio.pm line 3184. Use of uninitialized value $biblio_subfield in string at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Biblio.pm line 3216. Use of uninitialized value $biblioitem_subfield in string at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Biblio.pm line 3216. Tag "" is not a valid tag. at /home/koha/kohaclone/C4/Biblio.pm line 3216" Any help on how to solve this problem so that I can proceed with the upgrade is very appreciated.

stumped, please help with err: can't call method "subfield" on undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm
by archer 05 Mar '12

I am sorry i have to write this since a lot of threads are there regarding this error. Trying to add a new record from 'Catalogue'. I provided all mandatory details and without error it goes to the page ~/cataloguing/additem.pl. After providing all details here, i am getting the following error. "can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2688" My version is 4.0 (yes, I downloaded from liblime. please don't ignore it because of this. I read a lot of thread saying its not community release etc. I am running short of time so please provide a lead. This seems to be a bug and stumped at this step. As a result I am not able to add new books to database and stuck with the project) The code at 2688 in Biblio.pm is if ($server eq 'biblioserver'){ %index = GetNoZebraIndexes; my ($titletag, $titlesubfield) = GetMarcFromField('biblio.title',""); $title = lc($record -> subfield ($titletag, $titlesubfield)); Under Admininstration the marc mapping has section for title, and a single field can be set. It is seen as 245 a - Title -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/stumped-please-help-with-err-can-t-call-m… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
