You are not crazy. We are a week late. But we still have some great content! This week George will go over a custom report to help dig deeper into hold information. If you are looking for hold history, this would be a good tool to have on hand. We will resume our regular schedule next week. https://youtu.be/icsQfSSL3ys Respectfully, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

Koha installation fails at import
by Marty 26 Oct '25

26 Oct '25

I am trying to install Koha on Ubuntu 24.04, database mariaDB I have installed Koha before, on Debian and Ubuntu, but this time it seemed harder. I finally I got to the webinstaller, after I had restored my mysqldump, to koha_bibliotheek sudo koha-list shows two instances, bibliotheek and library, not sure why. in mariaDB koha_library is an empty database. I can NOT log in to koha_library with the password I get from xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml;echo But I can log in to koha_bibliotheek, AFTER restoring my mysqldump file. Then I get to the web installer which works fine until I click on “import” at the end of “Install basic configuration settings” where my screen shows “Internal Server Error” as that seemed one of the suggestions I found Googling, I tried SET GLOBAL sql_mode = ' '; to no avail No errors in the apache log And I don’t know where to go from here. Googling didn’t get me far this time, so any ideas? Thanks, Marty

Fwd: koha-community website issue
by Chris Cormack 23 Oct '25

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Chris Cormack <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz> Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 at 06:10 Subject: Re: [Koha] koha-community website issue To: Lena Hernandez <lena.hernandez(a)equinoxoli.org> Kia ora Lena Thanks for bringing that up. The good news is there is nothing bad going on, the dns for oldbugs.koha-community.org was pointing at the old linode that ran bugzilla for about 13 years before we shifted it earlier this year. Now that linode has been turned off, that ip has been provisioned for another customer. I've deleted the dns entry for oldbugs so it will no longer resolve.

Hi all, An FYI for the website team for the koha-community.org site. It appears that there has been a subdomain takeover of oldbugs.koha-community. I've submitted this as a bug already, but wanted to raise the alert more generally to make sure this gets in front of the right people. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41089 Lena -- Lena Hernandez (she/her <https://pronouns.org/>) Product and Education Specialist Equinox Open Library Initiative lena.hernandez(a)equinoxOLI.org https://www.equinoxOLI.org <https://www.equinoxoli.org>phone: 877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457)

Circulation Rules For Groups/Consortia
by Noah Brubaker 13 Oct '25

13 Oct '25

Hello, We are a consortium of libraries and trying to grasp circulation for Koha in a group scenario as we are having some challenges understanding what is possible. We are separate libraries in a shared instance and with a shared patron/bib database. What we would like to have happen is: 1. A patron from one institution can borrow from another (either walk in person or via placing a hold) using fixed consortial borrowing rules. For example 60 days for a book. This should be separate from the lending library's own local patrons which may get more generous terms. 2. We would like to have a single set of patron categories that are standard across the group. For example Faculty, Student, etc. The issue seems to be that Koha views the patron as "local" rather than from another library. Is there a way for Koha to be configured to take into account a patron's home library when determining rules? We would like to have the default most general rule be our reciprocal lending terms (60 days for a book), but it seems that Koha always lends the item as if the patron is part of the library lending it - rather than a patron not affiliated directly with that library. Please let me know if I can clarify, but it seems there should be a setting somewhere or something in the rules definitions we are missing. We noticed in the rules definition there is the term "same library" which is considered by the system but it doesn't seem to be doing that in regards to the patron and their home library. We were hoping to avoid needing separate patron types for all of our libraries to make this work, if possible. Thanks so much! ---Noah Noah Brubaker PALNI Associate Director (317)721-8198 | nbrubaker(a)palni.edu | www.palni.edu c/o Irwin Library, 4553 Clarendon Road, Indianapolis, IN 46208
