We had it for quite a long time. The problem for us was that the zebra daemon was not running. You need to do: zebrasrv –f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml Then leave the window open. If you close the window (as we were first told to do) it doesn’t work. You can then rebuild the index. (This is what the replies usually say.) /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra –v –b –a (We actually had to do ./rebuild_zebra.pl –v –b –a in that directory.) When you rebuild the index you should see it count through the records – at least at the start. If it doesn’t, it’s not indexing properly. I hope this helps. It was very frustrating for us.

Re: [Koha] Ordinary Search into catalog

Hi Leonardo, I share your frustrations as we too have had the same problem with Koha. One reason why this may be happening could be "diacritics" in the record that you downloaded. eg. accents above an author's name, apostrophes, etc. If your koha isn't set up to be able to recognise and interpret these diacritics then the downloaded record will contaminate others. We have the same problem with the word Geology because I downloaded a record that had Diacritics in it and it also contained the word Geology so I can't retrieve any records if I just type in Geology as part of the title. Our IT person is running a test koha database and has managed to fix this problem on the test version. As staged records can't be deleted from the reservoir, you may need to get someone with the technical know how to "roll back" the downloaded record that's causing the problem, meaning to go back in time and restore the reservoir to what it was prior to downloading the record I hope this makes sense to you!

Error trying to do a ordinary search into catalog
by Leonardo Bruno 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hi people! I am using Koha 3.00.5 in Debian Linux box. My configs are attached. Everything looks fine, but I can't search anything in my catalog. When I type something, say a topic or subject like 'engineering', or part of book title I get this error message: Can't call method "as_usmarc" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 2386. Note that this subjects and books does exists in my catalog. As I sid, everything looks fine.... Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.

Can someone tell me how they're using Library Groups in their library? Or how they are supposed to be used? I'm not sure I understand the purpose. Thanks Nicole

Introduction and authority import question
by John Vosmek 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Hi All, Let me first follow the suggestion from the subscription confirmation email when I joined this list and introduce myself. I am a cataloger by training and currently a manager of a library technical services department. I have been interested in Koha for a while and have wanted to play around with it since I first heard about it. My background in the command-line environment is essentially nil (a little bit when I was getting my MLS) but I would like to learn more. I found out about the Koha virtual appliances created by Kyle Hall and was able to get Koha up and running in VirtualBox on my MacBook. My intent is to try to catalog my personal library on Koha and I have a few reasons for doing so. First, I want to have an inventory of my personal collection. Second, I'm just generally curious about Koha and want to learn more about it, and learn a little about ILS administration. Third, where I work, we currently use a very non-standard system, and I want to stay up-to-date and in practice (also, as a manager, I don't really do a lot of cataloging these days) with a system that adheres more closely to cataloging norms. I realize that using Koha for my personal catalog is probably like using a bazooka to swat a fly, but I think it will be very instructive for me nonetheless. So, that's why I'm here. Now, my question is this: I would like to import authority records that I download form the US Library of Congress. It is my understanding that the only way to do this in Koha is using the bulkauthimport.pl script, right? OK, here's the part where I'm embarrassed for being such a noob... How do I do that? I know how to download the MARC record, and I assume I run the script from the command line and not from the Web interface, but I don't know who I need to be logged in as and how to run the script or to point it to the file I want to import. Is this something someone can explain to me? I hope it's not bad form to ask such a basic question. Thanks for any help you can provide, John -- "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Thomas Jefferson
