Odd Apache problem during install...
by Scott Kushner 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

I'm getting this strange error when I try to do a new install. Software error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.XXX.X.XX' (110) at /root/koha/C4/Context.pm line 697. Compilation failed in require at /root/koha/C4/Auth.pm line 32. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /root/koha/C4/Auth.pm line 32. Compilation failed in require at /root/koha/mainpage.pl line 23. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /root/koha/mainpage.pl line 23. The Problem is that it's trying to find the "old" IP address above, and I've changed the Server's IP to a new address, changed virtual hosts, and ports.conf to point to the new IP, but it is still looking for the old ip address. Does Apache store it somewhere that I don't know about? Thanks for any help. Scott Kushner Information Technologies Middletown Public Library

Mobile Phone version of Opac using http://mobify.me
by Darrell Ulm 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello, I've been working with http://mobify.me for the catalog. So far so good, this site allows you to pick and choose elements of the catalog, and then recognizes when a mobile device is being used and filters the catalog through the http://mobify.me profile. So far is is pretty easy, and there are only about 20 pages to setup through the http://mobify.me interface as well as a few CSS fixes on for certain elements. Once you are done with setup, apparently there just needs to be some javascript in the header to detect when a mobile device is being used. Has anyone else tried this or had any luck with other sites to make a mobile version of the catalog? p.s. I have not deployed this yet, but I am setting it up and it works pretty well. -Darrell Ulm

ldapserver question
by Brenner, Martin 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello all, I have ldapserver set up on our Koha server and it was working really well. Then an admin password I had been using for the bind got changed. This actually made me realize that I was using a more powerful account than I needed, so I tried to change it to an ldap user that we had set-up already. Now, the problem is, ldap authentication is no longer working. The error is [error] [client 10.10.10.99] [Wed Mar 3 20:07:32 2010] opac-user.pl: LDAP Auth rejected : (cn=martin.brenner) gets 0 hits, referer: http://library.whitfieldschool.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl There is no problem with the authentication of the ldap user (the reason I know this is that I had the password wrong at first and it left another error saying so.) to bind with the server, its just not accessing the user accounts in the tree. If we plug the admin account back in, everything works fine. The only thing different with this account is that the admin account is higher up the tree. The ldap user account is in the same level as all of the user accounts. From what I've heard from someone that knows LDAP much better than I do, the level shouldn't matter. I would just create an account one up the tree, but I've already got the account I thought I needed. Any ideas? Koha 3.0.5 on Ubuntu 9.04 by the way. Martin

You may need to put in the full path to the user (cn=username,ou=orgUnit,o=organization) I would download the Softerra LDAP browsr (version 2.6 = free) from http://www.ldapadministrator.com/download.htm and try using it to connect with your credentials. It is a great troubleshooting tool for LDAP. The user also needs to have browse and read access to the LDAP tree. >>> Brenner, Martin<martin.brenner(a)whitfieldschool.org> 3/4/2010 11:18 AM >>> Hello all, I have ldapserver set up on our Koha server and it was working really well.

Problem adding 2 or more items to a record
by jay 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello everyone, I'm currently working to get Koha installed for our small library, which has about 20,000 books. I have been able to get Koha installed successfully, but have had a probem when a record has 2 or more items added to it. We imported all of our MARC data, but the items did not import over. So, at that point we decided to do some testing and manually add some items to a few records. We found that when we add 2 or more items to a single record, when we click that record in the OPAC search results, we get a 404 page. But, if we remove those items, leaving 0 items or 1 item, then the link works fine. I have tried the following install scenarios, and had the same results each time. Koha 3.00.04_fixed on CentOS 5.2 x86 Koha 3.00.04_fixed on Ubuntu 8.04 x86 Koha 3.02.00-alpha on CentOS 5.2 x86 Koha 3.02.00-alpha on Ubuntu 8.04 x86 Our backend is a Linux MySQL 5 server, completely different box. With each version, I left the database intact and just pointed the Koha install at it. I posted a backtrace on IRC yesterday to see if someone could help. We get the following backtrace on 3.00.04 on both CentOS and Ubuntu http://paste.workbuffer.org/4 I'm really confused at this point, and am not really sure what to do next. If we can't add more than 1 item to a record, then the software really won't be able to help us. Can someone please offer some help or maybe some pointers where I could troubleshoot further? I've only been using the software for 2 days so I'm still learning about it. We would love to have this in our Library. Thank! Jay

Strange behavior: NO_LIBRARY_SET
by Leonardo Bruno 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hi guys! This list has solved all my problems until now. So let's go again :) It's not a terrible error but even if I choose a library in logon page, I get a 'NO_LIBRARY_SET' message on the right top corner of my screen? When I try to do something like a search, Koha asks me to set the library. Does someone know what is this? Thanks -- Sistema de Antivirus do CEFET-MG: Esta mensagem foi verificada pelo sistema de antivirus e acredita-se estar livre de perigo.

Fwd: [oss4lib-discuss] OSS-ILS Survey
by Nicole Engard 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I thought some of you may be interested in this. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vandana Singh <utk.ils.research(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 5:06 PM Subject: [oss4lib-discuss] OSS-ILS Survey To: oss4lib-discuss(a)lists.sourceforge.net As part of an IMLS funded Early Career Research Grant, Dr. Vandana Singh (Assistant Professor, School of Information Sciences at University of Tennessee-Knoxville) is working on a 3 year research project that will compare the technical support for Open Source Integrated Library Systems with proprietary Integrated Library Systems. In phase 1 of this research project, we are collecting data regarding the expectations of librarians for technical support and the available channels of technical support. We will identify the expectations of librarians about technical support for ILS (both open source software and proprietary software). And, we will assess the effectiveness of the current channels and processes for technical support in satisfying the expectations of the librarians. At this stage, we are looking for participants interested in contributing to this study. If you would be willing to participate in the study that would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in the general description and progress of the project, or would like to take the survey, you can find more information at: http://ossresearch.cci.utk.edu/. You can also direct any queries or suggestions to utk.ils.research(a)gmail.com with "ILS Survey" in the subject line.

Hello, Is there an easy way to see which of our patrons has written comments on items in the OPAC and how many comments they have written? I'd like to see who has done this and who our most active 'reviewers' are. Thanks, -- Hei konā mai, Mark Osborne Deputy Principal, Albany Senior High School.
