transferring information
by Suzanne Gilbert 23 May '08

23 May '08

Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer all the books I have on our old, really old, version of KOHA computer to the new 3.0 version that our IT guy installed on another computer. He said the version we are using now is so old that he couldn't just update it. I hate to think that I will have to input every book again. Our IT guy is excellent, but knows almost nothing about library stuff. I know nothing about computers. Thanks, Suzanne Gilbert

Update Debian and Koha ceases to work...
by atrus123 22 May '08

22 May '08

So I did a full dist-upgrade of Debian Lenny the other day (following the whole SSL debacle) and now Koha will no longer open. This is just a test machine, but I like to have everything working so we can continue testing. Anyway at first the Apache error log looked like this: --------- BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/myuser/kohaclone/opac/opac-main.pl line 22. Can't locate CGI/Session.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/myuser/kohaclone /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/myuser/kohaclone/C4/Auth.pm line 26. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/myuser/kohaclone/C4/Auth.pm line 26. Compilation failed in require at /home/myuser/kohaclone/opac/errors/500.pl line 21. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/myuser/kohaclone/opac/errors/500.pl line 21. ---------- I found that my Perl modules were actually located under 5.8.0. I fixed that just using a symbolic link, and most errors went away. Now I just get several lines of this: ------------ Can't locate object method "preference" via package "C4::Context" at /home/myuser/kohaclone/C4/Context.pm line 30. Can't locate object method "preference" via package "C4::Context" at /home/myuser/kohaclone/C4/Context.pm line 30. Can't locate object method "preference" via package "C4::Context" at /home/myuser/kohaclone/C4/Context.pm line 30. ------------- Any thoughts? I also tried synching Koha with the latest git tree and updating Debian again, but nothing seems to have fixed the problem. KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB are pointing to the correct locations. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Update-Debian-and-Koha-ceases-to-work...-tp17409773p1… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Vhost and Permissions Prob
by gsl 22 May '08

22 May '08

I think we have Koha 3 beta 2 installed on our OpenSuse server, but we have a possible permissions error or vhost address problem when trying to http into it. The specific error is: Using http://127.0.0.2 -and- http://127.0.0.2:80 -------------- Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ------------- If we try http://127.0.0.1 or http://127.0.0.3, these result in the default apache page (It works!) This seems to be a frequent problem, since the 'net has lots of posts on the subject. I'm wading through some of that, but with specific reference to koha does anyone have any suggestions? Possible related information: -------------------------------------------- rhclkoha:/usr/share/koha # rcapache2 restart Module "ruby" is not installed, ignoring.

Koha for Libraries
by Gautam John 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hello: I'm sorry about the non-descriptive subject line! A short introduction: I'm helping the Akshara Foundation [1] implement Koha across their 400 odd libraries in Bangalore and we are working with a developer in Bangalore to do the customizations for us. We have a peculiar set of requirements: 1. The patron database [2] is, as of now, housed externally from Koha as that database exists for other common projects too. We need to find a way for Koha to access that database to be able to pull patron and branch information out of it. As of now, we're looking at exporting the data from the KLP DB (where it is stored) via CSV and importing that into Koha on a periodic basis. 2. The book DB will be stored within Koha but as of now it exists as a set of Excel files. We need to import that into Koha. 3. We also need to be able to send the transactional information back to the KLP DB for aggregation and GIS based display. We're using the Koha 3 Beta. Where we need some help is, at this early stage,: 1. In understanding the data model for Koha wrt to patrons, books and transactions. The last one because we also have transaction collected in Excel sheets. 2. Ways and methods to import xls or csv files into Koha for patrons and books. 3. Ways and methods to make available to KLP transactional information so that they can generate reports. We've only just begun this project. One additional complication is that out of the 400 libraries a significant number don't have internet access so we also have to think/find a way to have an offline method of capturing transactions. One way we've considered is to use the transaction importer we hope to write to then, on a fortnightly basis, import the xls/csv files that we receive from the offline schools. Thank you.

upgrading koha from v1.2.3 to the latest version v2.2
by Bobby703 22 May '08

22 May '08

We have a very old koha library v1.2.3 with mysql v.3.xx. Now my boss wanna upgrade this old koha library to the latest version. Anyone has any idea how to upgrade koha and migrate data to the new database? As I think there might be lots of changes in koha and database. Do I have to upgrade from 1.2.3 to 1.3, to 1.9, to 2.0 and then to 2.2 one by one? Or Is there any better way to do that? Cheers. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/upgrading-koha-from-v1.2.3-to-the-latest-version-v2.2… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Koha 2.2.7 in Mysql 5
by arnab 22 May '08

22 May '08

Dear All, I'm trying to run Koha 2.2.7 using MySql 5.0. I could issue/return books. But the problem is regarding searching of books. Error is due to a SQL Script in the file SearchMarc.pm Extract of the code.... my $sth; if ($sql_where2) { $sth = $dbh->prepare("select distinct m1.bibid from biblio,biblioitems,marc_biblio,$sql_tables where biblio.biblionumber=marc_biblio.biblionumber and biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber and m1.bibid=marc_biblio.bibid and $sql_where2 and ($sql_where1) order by $orderby $desc_or_asc"); warn "Q2 : select distinct m1.bibid from biblio,biblioitems,marc_biblio,$sql_tables where biblio.biblionumber=marc_biblio.biblionumber and biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber and m1.bibid=marc_biblio.bibid and $sql_where2 and ($sql_where1) order by $orderby $desc_or_asc term is @$value"; } else { $sth = $dbh->prepare("select distinct m1.bibid from biblio,biblioitems,marc_biblio,$sql_tables where biblio.biblionumber=marc_biblio.biblionumber and biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber and m1.bibid=marc_biblio.bibid and $sql_where1 order by $orderby $desc_or_asc"); warn "Q : select distinct m1.bibid from biblio,biblioitems,marc_biblio,$sql_tables where biblio.biblionumber=marc_biblio.biblionumber and biblio.biblionumber=biblioitems.biblionumber and m1.bibid=marc_biblio.bibid and $sql_where1 order by $orderby $desc_or_asc"; } $sth->execute(); my @result = (); ........... whenever the script is running its giving error "warn Q.....". I couldn't figure out why this particular SQL statement is not running using MySql 5.
