Koha as a Virtual Machine on ESXi - Failed to open disk scsi0:0: Unsupported or invalid disk type 7
by ISM KIS 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

We have Koha 3.0.4 running at our school and I thought I could play with 3.2 on our brand new virtual host. Here is what I did: Downloaded the VM from http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha/koha-virtual-appliance/ ESXi 4.1 is running and the files are uploaded to the datastore. .vmx is added to the Inventory But when I start the VM I'm getting the following error: Module DevicePowerOn power on failed. Unable to create virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, '/vmfs/volumes/4d0f.... Failed to open disk scsi0:0: Unsupported or invalid disk type 7. Make sure that the disk has been imported. Is there a step I'm missing? Or are those files not for ESXi ?? (I was able to use the files on VirtualBox on my local PC) Thanks for your help and happy holidays!

Re: [Koha] Server edition or Desktop edition

There's actually nothing that isn't packaged for squeeze, hence robin's recommendation. Squeeze plus the koha packages at debian.koha-community.orgwill give you an installed system without having to use anything other than packages. For ubuntu lucid its the same except some of the packages are in the multiverse. Btw we are actually releasing monthly, for maintenance releases, and 6 monthly for feature releases but none of them should require an OS upgrade.

Ubuntu has a 18 month support cycle, so you only have to upgrade once a year to remain on a supported version. But Debian/Ubuntu upgrades are pretty seamless anyway. Koha has a few dependancies that aren't pre-packaged (and will therefor require some manual attention at update time), but not much. Given that (as I understand things) Koha is planning for twice a year releases, you probably should be upgrading at least once a year anyway.

If not that, Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. I'd not suggest using a non-LTS Ubuntu, unless you're OK with upgrading every 6 months (which is not fun in a server environment.) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

LDAP authentication
by Vitor Fernandes 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Hi there. I want to use LDAP authentication on my Koha (3.2.2). There is any tutorial to do this? Now I've added this block to my koha-conf.xml: <useldapserver>1</useldapserver> <ldapserver id="ldapserver" listenref="ldapserver"> <hostname>*******</hostname> <base>*********</base> <user>*******</user> <pass>*******</pass> <replicate>0</replicate> <update>0</update> <auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind> <mapping> <firstname is="givenName" ></firstname> <surname is="sn" ></surname> <userid is="userPrincipalName"></userid> <email is="mail"></email> </mapping> </ldapserver> I don't want to replicate neither update users in Koha. LDAP will be only used to authentication. But i'm having this error: "Can't call method "bind" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm line 122". The hostname of LDAP is correct... I've checked Auth_with_ldap.pm and the problem is that $db variable (Net::LDAP->new(hostname)) is empty. Any solution? Thanks for your time. Regards.

Dear Friends, I just installed Koha latest version 3.02.02. I found a strange "?" symbol in cataloging data entry sheet. Thisquestion mark symbol appear adjacent to MARC field number. Please see the screen shot here. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/L-GV2yH4VrEMSG3OcxBl8w?feat=directlink Another problem is that, field 100 Author seems locked. I changed the parameters in System Preferences > Authorities > Biblio Addauthorities But it still seems locked. I would like to hear a solution from you, Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Second, I would suggest running: ./koha_perl_deps.pl -m - to see if any of Koha's Perl deps are missing or need upgrading. I'm leaving for holiday/vacation now, so I don't have time to try to reproduce your problem, but perhaps someone else on the list can. Kind Regards, Chris

Opac Nav
by Vitor Fernandes 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hi there. There is a way to block the opac nav html code only to the main page of Koha Opac? I think that maybe there is a perl variable to block the opac nav to appear in others pages than the main.... Regards. Vitor Fernandes

Cannot save edited patron info in koha (but I can in mysql)
by Marty 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

This might be a permissions thing, but I am not sure. When I edit a patron's information I can change all fields I need to, but after the information has been 'saved' nothing has changed (When I am logged in as a superlibrarian) I can play in mysql and do a 'UPDATE borrowers SET city = 'Keswick' WHERE borrowernumber = 1234; This results in the changes info showing up in Koha, but I need this working in Koha, so the librarians can change patron info. As usual, any ideas are appreciated. Marty
