Hi ALL 1. mysql dump of koha 2. reformat the server (debian etch - same as before) 3. reinstall a dev install as user 'koha' -- All dependencies installed except GD (user koha, database koha (mysql grant all to user - koha), zebrauser koha) 4. mysql import -- All my old settings available in the Intranet -- no records are searchable. 5. makes changes to new record.abs (our item records are in the 949 not 952 field --> MARC default framework changes transferred with the SQLdump) 6. reindex --> rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r --> still no records are searchable/indexed but I can get to records different ways (I have about thirty checked-out - (from previous successful 'standard' koha) to my user/patron (brendan gallagher). Here is a copy of last rebuild_zebra.pl that I ran -- Ran this script as root -- first time I ran it I had permission errors and I saw in the koha-mailing-list archives that someone else had similar problems with the fix being to either run as root or chown the correct directories (I wanted to do this quickly so I ran it as root)... 09:49:14-14/08 zebraidx(7396) [log] Merge 73.1% completed; 2 minutes remaining 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7396) [fatal] mf_write: isambD-b error (4) no more space 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7396) [fatal] /home/koha/koha-dev/var/lib/ zebradb/biblios/shadow: max=4294967296 used=4294966912 available=384 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7396) [fatal] Adjust the limits in your zebra.cfg 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7396) [log] bf_write: exit 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] zebra_start 2.0.32 /home/koha/koha- dev/etc/zebradb/zebra-biblios.cfg 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/lib/ idzebra-2.0/modules/mod-alvis.so 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/lib/ idzebra-2.0/modules/mod-grs-xml.so 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/lib/ idzebra-2.0/modules/mod-grs-marc.so 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/lib/ idzebra-2.0/modules/mod-grs-regx.so 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/lib/ idzebra-2.0/modules/mod-dom.so 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/lib/ idzebra-2.0/modules/mod-text.so 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [warn] previous transaction didn't reach commit 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] enabling shadow spec=/home/koha/ koha-dev/var/lib/zebradb/biblios/shadow:4G 09:49:20-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] cache_fname = /home/koha/koha-dev/ var/lib/zebradb/biblios/shadow/cache 09:49:26-14/08 zebraidx(7983) [log] zebra_stop: 5.23 0.01 0.71 I did make some changes to the limit in size on zebra-biblios.cfg --> then ran the indexer (is there something that needs to be restarted (like the zebra-server) before doing this and is that the correct file)...

Re: [Koha] Import items (holdings)

I think MARC BIBs have a maximum size of 64k, so a large number of items could overrun this limit.

Question regarding Koha on Windows XP
by nancyczech＠aim.com 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Hi, I am new to Koha and have been testing it out on a 32 bit Windows XP platform.? I set all of my parameters regarding User Rules and Borrower Categories but when I use the circulation module the Members records do not link to the User Rules and Borrower Categories--so none of the limits are applied to the member record.? Does this have something to do with how MySql has been loaded?? or is this an issue with Windows?? Has anyone come across this problem??? And does any have a fix to the problem? Thank you, Nancy Michigan, USA

Another question about: Import items (holdings)
by Linda Culberson 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

We have many collections and series that have thousands of items. Would we have to add a 952 for each item to import these into Koha? Can it handle that many items attached to a single bib record?

Hi all, I am installing the freshly released koha-3.00.00. All is going well and I am impressed with the Debian packaing install!!! Much improved. Now ... Perl Z3950 installation. The environment we are in is 100% firewalled from *EVERYTHING* except for one single egress port: port 80. Here is the error: # Failed test 'connection to 'z3950.indexdata.com/gils'' Anyone know which port I must open up for this test to pass? cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The manual said Windows XP/SP2 or better so I installed Linux.

Migrating to Koha
by Grap, Sheila 14 Aug '08

14 Aug '08

Our school district is migrating from TLC to KOHA 3.0. The migration team has a few questions as we start this process. We are using Fedora on the server. Our questions: 1. What information should be set up before importing our records? 2. What special considerations do we need to be aware of when importing the records? 3. When we look at the MARC records that we have exported the branch (schools for us) includes a letter designation after the school number : i.e.: 416 NF, 416 FIC, 416 REF, 416 PRF all the books are at one school. Do we need to set each set as a separate branch or will KOHA just read the 416 as the branch? We have 200 schools to set up as branches and if we have to divide each school into 5 or 6 branches, the typing and set up can be overwhelming. Schools open in about a week and we need to be up and running. I have learnt so much from the this listserv just reading the questions and answers from other members.
