Intranet - Add MARC Record - Error 500 [SOLVED]

Hi! This is an informative post, because never before I write about this error (I had it and I solved it), but can be useful for another users: I have a fresh Koha 3 [3.00.00.107] install in a GNU/Linux Fedora 9 server, running over Apache 2 (daemon httpd), MySQL 5.0.51a, Perl 5.010.000. I go to the Koha-Intranet, login and try to 'Add MARC Record': koha give me an 'Error 500'. I saw the koha log (/var/log/koha/koha-error_log) and the last line contains ... ModSecurity: Output filter: Response body too large (over limit of 524288, total not specified) ... I find by google the solution in: [es - spanish] http://hostingaldescubierto.com/wordpress/2008/04/15/modsecurity-output- filter-response-body-too-large/. mod_security is an Apache module for enhanced security. This module let block the http-response more large than xxx bytes. And this is the problem. In a Fedora 9 default configuration, these are the settings: [ in /etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf ] SecRequestBodyAccess On SecResponseBodyAccess On SecResponseBodyMimeType (null) text/html text/plain text/xml SecResponseBodyLimit 524288 The 'Add MARC record' page (http://intranet.koha/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl) have a size over 937,71 KB (960.211 bytes) [firefox say] and the limit setted by mod_security is 524.288 bytes. Only need change this value for another larger, or set to 'Off' the option 'SecResponseBodyAccess' Iago Lorenzo Salgueiro TIC ilorenzo(a)cetmar.org

Dear all, After an authority search I have an authority list but clicking on any of them I receive a new window with the following error: No _parse_* routine defined on this driver The link for each entry that is seen in the bottom is the folloowing .../cgi-bin/authorities/details.pl?authid= what means that there is no authid. Is it an error or a bad parametrization. Thanks, Rafael

user support?
by Kohn, Karen 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

Hello, My library is preparing to migrate to Koha, and I'm trying to make sure we have enough support in place for the librarians and staff who will have to develop new procedures and workflows. I've been reading this mailing list in web forum from time to time, and it seems to be mainly for administrators. I was wondering a) Can I request that a new list be started? And b) Are there people on here who would be interested in this list? I'm thinking it would be for technical services library workers who could share how they accomplish certain goals, or could ask if they're having trouble figuring out how to do something. (I know that's vague. Specifically, right now, our Serials Librarian is curious about how the predictions work in Koha.) Of course, if there is an existing resource you can recommend, that would be great. Thanks. Karen Kohn Collection Development Manager Landman Library Arcadia University 450 S.

I agree that there is a definite divide in the type of people that subscribe to this list. Many are the actual programmers and tech people that are into the actual "innards" of programming and tweaking Koha. The rest of us are librarians and staff that could be defined as "users". We have a wide array of computer skills with using the program, practically, but not the underlying structures. How do you best run an overdue list, what field is appropriate for the ISBN, where do you put volume numbers so they display, etc. are the type of questions we encounter. There is an overlap, of course. Some folks are in one-person situations. We all have common interests in the capabilities of Koha and future development. So, yes, I agree that maybe we need two lists, but I would miss SOME of the interplay between the two camps!

Salvete! There is a developer list for developers, so really, if you just have general Koha questions, they do go here. Don't be shy. Pipe up! Or this turns into the devel list part deux. :D There used to be a lot of Librarian "How do you do stuff?" type questions, particularly in the before time predating any real documentation. I think maybe a new mantra is necessary. If you are using the software, you are part of the community. Aummmmm. Cheers, Brooke

Auto dialers
by Sharon Moreland 05 Dec '08

Hello, One of our libraries is interested in setting up an auto dialer system that would work with Koha to send hold/overdue notices via phone (or VOIP). Is this possible yet? If so, what product did you use? Sharon Moreland Technology Consultant Northeast Kansas Library System NExpress Shared Catalog

Migration question
by Thiesen, John 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I'm wondering if someone can answer some questions related to the possibility of migrating from a commercial ILS to Koha. We're exploring our options, and one thing we'd like to try would be to download a couple thousand of our records into Koha and play with it for a while, to see how it fits our workflow here. I've been surprised that there doesn't seem to be much documentation about uploading existing data into Koha (and, actually, I found the over all Koha documentation rather fragmentary). I understand in a general way how the bib records would work, but how does Koha deal with holdings/item records-i.e. barcodes, multi-volume works, multiple copies of the same work, etc. John D. Thiesen Co-director of Libraries Bethel College North Newton, KS

Several servers
by Steve Kiarie 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I have installed koha on an institute that has several institutes and each institute has a server running a mysql sever. how can i interconnect all the three databases to so as they can all be at sync where by users can borrow books and return books in any of the three institutes. I do not want to maintain one koha server with several libraries and branches because am not on a reliable Network. I want them to be updating each other. *****************************************************************************>The information contained in this communication is confidential and > may be legally privileged.
