calendar problem
by Holly Hancock 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

I set the calendar to show Friday November 11th as a Unique holiday as we will be closed for Veteran's Day. However I've discovered that items checked out yesterday show a due date of 11/11/11. What step did I miss? Currently running v3.2.6 on Debian Lenny 6.0 Holly Hancock Library Director Bridgton Public Library 207-647-2472 hollyh(a)bridgton.lib.me.us

Re: [Koha] overdue_notives - to_address field is not populated
by ISM KIS 02 Nov '11

Ian, I did process_message_queue and after that the status is "sent" And the OverdueNoticeBcc account does get the mail. But the to_address field in the message_queue remains empty and the patron (In the case myself) did not get the mail. -Rudy >>> Ian Walls <ian.walls(a)bywatersolutions.com> 11/2/2011 2:33 PM >>> Rudy, I've found that to_address remains null until process_message_queue sends the message; this is so that if the email changes between when the notice is generated and when it's sent, the most up-to-date email is used. Can you check to see if messages are going out now? At the least, if you see "sent" in a patron's message history, instead of "failed", you'll know this is working (whether the email reaches the patron, there is no way to know). -Ian On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 4:54 AM, ISM KIS <Ism(a)kis.in> wrote: > Ian, > > Thank you for your input. > > The setting was on "alternate" and I changed it to "first valid" > > But still it does not enter anything into the to_address field. > > Maybe I need to restart the server?

overdue_notives - to_address field is not populated
by ISM KIS 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

After upgrading to Koha 3.4.5 we have noticed that the overdue notices were not sent. The cron jobs are running and the message_queue table gets updated. The borrowernumber is correct in the message_queue but the to_address field is NULL. ( select email from borrowers where borrowernumber = xxx gives me the correct email) Any ideas why the to_address field is NULL and what to do about this? If I manually update the to_address and run process_message_queue.pl then the notices are sent ok. Thanks for any help. Rudy Wuthrich Kodaikanal International School

Koha fully on secure port
by Tom Hanstra 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

I was able to address my CAS problems by having Koha *only* use port 443 and ssl. This allows the jump from CAS and back to work properly. Does anyone foresee problems with this solution? I have not found anything which will not work, but perhaps others have found things or know of places where this way might cause a problem.

CAS questions
by Tom Hanstra 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Some questions about CAS authentication: I have been able to link in our CAS service with Koha. I get the "Log in to your Account" page and choose to login via CAS. This jumps me out to our site CAS server. OK so far. Now for the wrinkle. Our site wants to have the CAS login transaction secure from end to end so it sends me back to: https://kohapprd.library.nd.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl?ticket=<ticket #> So, I had do create a secure server for the return trip. I've tried to do that via apache, but evidently don't have something set up properly. When it comes back from the return trip, it is sending me back to the Log In screen, whereas if I remove the "s" from https in the same URL: http://kohapprd.library.nd.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl?ticket=<ticket #> I get properly sent to the Koha screen with loans, fines, personal details, etc. But the URL I see is still the same (opac-user.pl). So, where is the redirection to this screen happening? And why is my secure host not getting to it?

Always remember to reply to all so that other list members can help you and learn from your questions. Setting up a cron in Koha is no different than on any other web server. I don't know what operating system you're using but this guide (and many more out there) should probably help you. http://www.linuxclues.com/articles/15.htm Nicole On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 12:27 AM, Abdulsalam Yousef <ayousef(a)kwareict.com> wrote: > Thanks so much Nicole for your help > There is another problem how to run the cron job script build_holds_queue.pl > thanks so much > > On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 12:47 AM, Nicole Engard <nengard(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Do you have a circulation rule for the default library, default patron >> category and default item type?

Koha Z39.50 server for ex Yugoslavia books
by Pomorska škola 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

I'm interested if there is any server from which Koha can acquire cataloging data for ex-Yugoslavia books. I know there is COBISS but I can't get that because it's not free, and some other political circumstances. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-Z39-50-server-for-ex-Yugoslavia-book… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

What kind of IT skills required...?
by Smurk 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hello Sorry, it will definitely be a bunch of silly questions, but I really don't know... What kind of IT skills are required for someone to run Koha on a private server (for a small network of about 6 libraries, each with a very limited collection) and do the maintenance etc? I have been asked to help a little library who would like to have her own server and centralize for the few other libraries of its network. I know Koha very well, I am quite good with computers and training people and all library things. I create websites, I know PhP and MySql (but not really the other languages). But I have never installed or used a server, I have no idea what that involves. Is it like setting a new computer and let's go? Will the server be delivered with Windows or Linux or I don't know what other OS? I will have to organise daily back-ups, is that something easy? I will have to link the server with a website or something like that (I told you I don't know anything), is that really tricky? Do I have to know Perl or can I just install whatever package ares required and that would do it? Are there other important things that I need to know before I may plan to do it...? Ultimately, can I ask someone else to set up the server and I only step in when it's all ready to go? I mean, is that really something that we can ask an IT company to do for us? Many thanks for your help!
