Koha Post Installation Setup Questions
by Fahs,Joe 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Hi All, I installed Koha 3.00.03 this summer on a computer running OS X Server 10.5. After some initial difficulty getting the installation (documented), things seem to be running smoothly, but being my first Koha install, there are a few things that I still have questions about. 1. The library was previously using a Follet system and the archivist imported the MARC records into Koha. I didn't see any errors on the import, but it appears that a number of the records don't show up in the OPAC search. Additionally, some records show up in the intranet search but not OPAC, and some don't show up at all. I've run the rebuild_nozebra script a couple of times, but that doesn't seem to help. I've been looking at the koha error logs and these are the messages that seem to repeat most often: opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-search.pl line 418., referer: http://koha-catalog.stmchs.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl [Thu Aug 20 13:02:13 2009] opac-detail.pl: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1132., referer: http://koha-catalog.stmchs.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=mark+twain (the second error repeats for other queries as well) 2. I seem to be having an error with the Amazon web images as well. Images appear if they were previously listed in our old Follet records, but koha doesn't seem to be pulling any new ones. I'm going to try signing up for a new Amazon web services account just in case, but I wasn't sure if there is anything in particular I should be looking for in the logs. Does anybody know which port the requests are made for the web services? I'm beginning to wonder if it is a firewall issue that may be blocking things. Thanks, Joe Fahs

Circulation Module, Checkout
by Nadel Catura 20 Aug '09

Does the module only uses the bar code as the reference of the book to checkout? What if the records don't contain the barcode?

Changed email address, but email still going to old one

20 Aug '09

I recently updated our email address in KohaAdminEmailAddress. However, our overdues attachments via the cron job and patron update requests are still going to the old address rather than the new. Is there somewhere else I should look to change the address? Running 3.01.00.039. Thanks! Richard Carpenter-Carse Library Hinesburg, VT

Error 500 when selecting a title
by Roche III, Edward 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Good Morning All I started getting an error when selecting a title. If I search the catalog and then select the title link I get the following error: An Error has Occurred! Error 500 * In Koha this typically means that the Koha team is working on new features * Wait while system maintenance is being done or email the Koha Administrator <mailto:edward_roche@solanco.k12.pa.us> . * Use top menu bar to navigate to another part of Koha. The url is http://catadmin.solanco.org/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumbe r=8266 and I have double checked the biblio table to make sure this record exists. Has anyone seen this before?

Error on patron login if borrowed a book
by Bezunesh Alemu 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Hello, I am a new Koha User. Currently I have upgraded the vesrsion to 2.9. And I've been able to manage the technical issues of the system very well. But now, there seem to be a problem on this version of Koha, i.e Patrons are not able to check their borrowed(issued)books through their profile unless the book that they have borrowed is returned. The error message " Error Login" will appear when a patron who has borrowed a book tries to login. But once the book is returned, then it allows the patron to login. Can you please provide me some help? Thanks.

Importing records from OpenBiblio
