VirtualHost overlap after installing Koha-3.00.00
by marty 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi all, We have been running Koha 2.2.9 for a while and want to upgrade to 3. It seems to be installed, but on restarting the server I get this message: [Tue Sep 09 10:06:47 2008] [warn] VirtualHost debian:8080 overlaps with VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive [Tue Sep 09 10:06:47 2008] [warn] VirtualHost debian:80 overlaps with VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive I know this is mnot an Apache group, but somebody might have had this problem and knows the solution. I am by no means an expert on servers. When I enter debian:80 or debian:8080 in the URL bar I do get the welcome to koha message before it shows the "internal server error". I have played around with the koha-httpd.conf file, but the only result so far has been different overlaps (like debian:80 overlaps with VirtualHost debian:80, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive) Thanks, Marty

Series info in 440 or 490?
by Msgr. Marion J. Makarewicz 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

This is both a library MARC structure issue and a Koha data structure issue: I'm a bit confused about the normal practice concerning a numbered series of books information (e.g. Babysitter's Club) I pretty well completed the transition from Follett to Koha 3.4 on Ubuntu and am ready to begin the new school year on August 15. I discovered the problem that the imported data from Follett regarding series information were different from standard info on a Z3950 search. The default Books, Booklets, Workbooks framework does not have the 490 as default but has 440, with a lock on subfield a. I kept my Follett data into 440, but am not able to edit the existing biblios in that framework, tab 4. (I have not set up any authorities). Newly catalogued books (only about 20) imported from a Z3950 search import the series info into 490. The biblio editing tab 4 displays it fine. Since they were brought in using the existing Book framework, the serial field and seriestitle in the biblio field remains blank. Puzzled, I discovered that 440 is now obsolete in the US. In the existing Follett to Koha migrations that were documented, this issue had not been brought up before. So I have changed the framework for 490 to now appear by default (setting to the advanced constraints "hidden" to 0). I've mapped MARC to Koha to 490 for serial info. Getting this string <datafield tag="440" ind1=" " ind2="0"> to read <datafield tag="490" ind1=" " ind2="1"> is just a minor SQL Update Replace() query in the marcxml field in the biblioitems table. Getting the content of the now 490a subfield and 490v subfield (the only 440/490 fields in use) into the serial and seriestitle fields is still a problem. Am I on the right track? Do I have to change anything in the marc field of the biblioitems table? Thanks for the help. Marion Visitation Inter-Parish School Vienna, MO

searching troubles ...
by Ernie Penner 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I have the following Cron Jobs scheduled: /koha-3.2.5/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w (scheduled every 2-3 minutes) /koha-3.2.5/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -a (scheduled every 15 minutes) With these cron jobs running the library staff is not able to search any of their entries. I find koha-conf.xml in the following 2 locations: /koha-3.2.5/etc/koha-conf.xml /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml I also find rebuild_zebra.pl in 2 locations: /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl /koha-3.2.5/misc/migratin_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl To which ones do I need to export the following: export PERL5LIB=/path/to/your/koha/ export KOHA_CONF=/path/to/your/koha-conf.xml I have read that having two of each of these files could be my problem. Which needs to be deleted? How do I know to which one the databased is using? If I delete the wrong one what kind of problems would I be facing? Bottom line I want to restore the library's search capabilities. Cheers, Ernie

Overdue procedures with few e-mails on record
by Lesley Kimball 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hello all, We are working on getting our overdue notice procedures up and running and we are in a situation where 98% of our patrons do not have an e-mail address entered into their record. With our past systems we have always printed lists (based on time overdue) and then made phone calls to those people who we don't have e-mails for. I'm not sure how this can work with Koha. We have just gotten the overdue cron-jobs set up, but obviously still need to be able to contact people who won't be receiving e-mails. Would anyone mind talking off-list if you have any experience or suggestions? Thanks, Lesley Kimball ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians. -- Monty Python, "Gorilla Librarian" sketch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lesley Kimball Director Wiggin Memorial Library Stratham, NH <mailto:Director@WigginML.org> Director(a)WigginML.org

Fines not creating
by Peel Lisa 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hello I have had two patrons today checking in overdue items (they come up as overdue on check in) but no fine has been created on their account. We upgraded to 3.4 recently - I had a quick look in the system prefs, calendar and fine rules and I think it all looks ok. Is there something I am missing?

KOHA holdings/barcode problems
by Margaret Matthews 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Good morning somewhere in the world!! I am having several problems that I hope someone can help me with. We are running 3.02.7 I cannot run barcodes- this is due to not one of the 2600 records I have loaded saying they have any holdings - in the past I have not had this problem and ran barcodes for over 2000 of our 2600 records. when I search - the record is there with all the information but no holdings, if there are no holdings -barcodes, checking in and out of the books won't work. when I go into a record in the cataloging area and pull up a record - all the information is there but when I go to edit it the edit screen comes up and it is totally empty and library name (as if I had not set the "no-library set"and I have set it) is wrong and when I fill edit page out again with the same information and save changes I get an error message. I download from LC, edit biblio if needed, then "save and edit holdings", fill out local holdings (edit) and then save. there are no holdings now for all the records in the database -I had some before-what am I doing wrong or missing? I don't understand why all the holdings are gone. another question deals with the rebuilding of the database. i see lots of questions and comments about zebra_rebuild. some of them have it programed to run every 15-30-45 minute intervals. I am wondering if this could be part of the problem. it rebuilds the collection, merges like bibliographies, cleans up the database, and I am wondering if it adds the holdings to the database? I am not sure when ours run or if this is a problem I need to worry about. I am very frustrated. thanks in advance!! margaret
