Good afternoon all Is anyone using Ubuntu with Koha and have successfully connected to an ISCSI SAN? I would like to sit the Koha DB on the SAN to see if it will reduce some of the load on our server but so far have not been able to successfully connect to it. I install the open-iscsi app and try to run the following command: iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 1.1.1.1 But get the following result: iscsiadm: cannot make connection to 1.1.1.1:3260 (113) iscsiadm: connection to discovery address 1.1.1.1 failed If anyone has tried this and has had success please let me know.

LDAP Attributes
by Roche III, Edward 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Good Afternoon All I am playing with the idea of using LDAP for user authentication and to use this feature to populate the Koha patron db. I know the patron db will not be populated automatically only when a user logs in. So my issue/question is that I can match up the usual LDAP fields with the corresponding ones in KOha like , first name and last name. I can even find one to use for Branch but I am having trouble finding one for patron type. I do see in the instructions for ldap ( http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:ldap) that there is a "categorycode" field, is this the field for patron type or is there another? If it is the field, does anyone know a field in LDAP/AD to use to hold this information? Thanks Ed Edward J.

Multiple Web OPACs
by Dale Foster 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Goal: To allow Internet access to the library's OPAC. Challenge: We are a small research library located in the Galapagos Islands. Internet connectivity is both intermittent and slow out here in the South Pacific, so opening our webserver to the world is not a viable option. We are in the process of installing Koha on our Intra-net webserver. We have contracted for webhosting on a faster connection/server on the mainland of Ecuador and can install Koha there. What is the best configuration for running two Koha OPAC's at different locations? What is the best way to exchange the data between the two locations? Do we need to do a complete installation of Koha on the mainland server, or is there an easy way just to install the webserver/OPAC module? I look forward to hearing for anyone who has attempted a similar project.

Dear All I have recently installed Koha 3.0.2 on debian etch. I am logging using kohaadmin, but in tools menu, menu items(import,news,barcode etc..) are not displaying. I think it is related to user permission. But kohaadmin is supposed to do all the activities. Is it a bug or not? any help apreciated regards liny
