Re: [Koha] Serials

Thanks Irma I meant the techies here, not the ones who designed Koha. I may be able to push through an upgrade to Koha, but would need definitive proof that the current version does not meet organisational needs. Is there a backlist of bugs for old versions somewhere that I could peruse? Sometimes I use Explorer, sometimes I use firefox, but my access to Koha is direct, not through a web browser. Sarah RE: [Koha] Serials Irma to: ssmith 13/06/2008 11:22 AM Hello Sarah, Oh dear...I know what it feels like to spend much time on a function to still not have it work well or work at all at the end. Koha 3.0 is the answer re serials. A few comments, if I may. It's scary to read your comments re: "no idea how libraries are supposed to function". What I mean is that you are asking for help on a public e-list and amongst the readers are the people (who can/could/would/do help) but are referred to as "set up by people who". Of course the general Koha list is read by librarians as well as IT people, but I know that a lot a lot of work went into the Serials module and they did have a librarian at Katipo Communications work with them. Honey catches more flies! I also note that your Koha 2.2.7 runs on Windows XP. Do you also use Internet Explorer? Most of the developers are Linux/Unix users and FireFox. Might you be in a position to upgrade to Koha 3.0 stable? Best regards, Irma ......

I attempt to receive an issue, press save and get this error: "Premature end of script headers : statecollection.pl" Then I can't seem to receive any more issues, or even replicate the problem unless I delete the subscription completely and start again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks Sarah Smith

error installing koha
by Alok Shrivastava 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

I try to install koha on RHEL4. while installing I got the following error message. [root@n0cc2 koha-2.2.8]# perl installer.pl WELCOME TO THE KOHA INSTALLER This program will ask some questions and try to install koha for you. You need to know: where most koha files should be stored (you can set the prefix environment variable for this); the username and password of a mysql superuser; and details of your library setup. You may also need to know details of your Apache setup. If you want to install the Koha configuration files somewhere other than /etc (for installing not as root, or to have many Kohas on one system, for example), you should set the etcdir environment variable. Please look at your manuals for details of how to set that. Recommended answers are given in brackets after each question. To accept the default value for any question (indicated by []), simply hit Enter at the prompt. Note that you also can define an auto_install_file, that will answer every question automatically. To use this feature, run ./installer.pl -i /path/to/auto_install_file Are you ready to begin the installation? ([Y]/N): Great! Continuing... PERL MODULES Checking perl modules ... PERL MODULES AVAILABLE All required perl modules are installed. Press <ENTER> to continue: OPAC DIRECTORY Please supply the directory you want Koha to store its OPAC files in. This directory will be auto-created for you if it doesn't exist. OPAC Directory [/usr/local/koha/opac]: LIBRARIAN DIRECTORY Please supply the directory you want Koha to store its Librarian interface files in. This directory will be auto-created for you if it doesn't exist. Intranet Directory [/usr/local/koha/intranet]: LOG DIRECTORY Specify a directory where log files will be written. Koha Log Directory [/usr/local/koha/log]: DATABASE NAME Please provide the name that you wish to give your koha database. It must not exist already on the database server. Most users give a short single-word name for their library here. Database name [Koha]: DATABASE HOST Please provide the mysql server name. Unless the database is stored on another machine, this should be "localhost". Database host [localhost]: DATABASE USER We are going to create a new mysql user for Koha. This user will have full administrative rights to the database called Koha when they connect from localhost. This is also the name of the Koha librarian superuser. Most users give a single-word name here. Database user [kohaadmin]: DATABASE PASSWORD Please provide a good password for the user kohaadmin. IMPORTANT: You can log in using this user and password at any time. Password for database user kohaadmin: koha123 APACHE CONFIGURATION Koha needs to write an Apache configuration file for the OPAC and Librarian sites. By default this installer will do this by using one name and two different ports for the virtual hosts. There are other ways to set this up, and the installer will leave comments in /etc/koha-httpd.conf about them. NOTE: You will need to add lines to your main httpd.conf to include /etc/koha-httpd.conf (using the Include directive) and to make sure it is listening on the right ports and host names (using the Listen directive).

E-mail contact [webmaster(a)abc.edu] WEB HOST NAME OR IP ADDRESS Please enter the host name or IP address that you wish to use for koha. Normally, this should be a name or IP that belongs to this machine. Host name or IP Address [n0cc2.abc.edu] OPAC PORT Please enter the port for your OPAC interface. This defaults to port 80, but if you are already serving web content with this hostname, you should change it to a different port (8000 might be a good choice, but check any firewalls).

Save Customized MARC bibliographic framework
by Pseudo Admin 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

We have customized MARC bibliographic framework and created one based on our needs. We would like to save it for backup so that we could use it in case we decide to reinstall/upgrade koha or system meltdown. Where do I find the MARC frameworks? We wish to save them as individual files and restore them as necessary. Which files do I need to save/archive?
