Setting a global due date
by Marie Wardall 12 May '08

12 May '08

Is there a way to set a global due date in Koha? We are an elementary school using Koha 2.2.9 and we are nearing the end of the year. We usually pick a date that all books will be due back by---can we set that date somewhere and can we set the calendar for dates that we are not in session ie: holidays? Thanks, Marie Marie J.

When I add a new patron in version 3, their expiry date is set for one year from now, but in patron categories, I have them set for 60 months (5 years). Is there something else I need to set to get this working? -- Tim McMahon Technical Services West Liberty Public Library 400 N.

DBD::mysql install error
by Chadwick, John, DCA 09 May '08

I am working on a fresh install of Debian 4 trying to install DBD::mysql First problem, the file would not install. Evidently the mysql_config file that lives in /usr/bin did not get installed with the mysql-server install. I copied the file from a working Ubuntu 7.10 installation. Now, the install finds the file, but I am getting a lot of errors: dbdimp.c:4395: warning: passing argument 3 of âmemcpyâ makes integer from pointer without a cast dbdimp.c:4396: error: âimp_dbh_tâ has no member named âstatsâ dbdimp.c:4396: error: request for member âauto_reconnects_failedâ in something not a structure or union dbdimp.c:4396: error: invalid lvalue in increment dbdimp.c:4399: error: âimp_dbh_tâ has no member named âstatsâ dbdimp.c:4399: error: request for member âauto_reconnects_okâ in something not a structure or union dbdimp.c:4399: error: invalid lvalue in increment dbdimp.c: In function âmysql_db_quoteâ: dbdimp.c:4559: error: âimp_dbh_tâ has no member named âmysqlâ dbdimp.c: In function âmysql_db_last_insert_idâ: dbdimp.c:4582: error: âimp_dbh_tâ has no member named âmysqlâ dbdimp.c:4582: warning: passing argument 2 of âPerl_sv_2mortalâ makes pointer from integer without a cast make: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 1 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible cpan> DBD::mysql Any ideas?

Re: [Koha] Guidelines for barcodes, barcode readers, etc.

Salvete! I vastly prefer the trigger Symbol scanners over the Metrologics. I think they read nicer, you can trigger them when the auto holder doesn't work right, and the stand seems to have it work right automatically much better. If you like torturing yourself, Koha will work with a CueCat. Cheers, Brooke

"Software error" on Web page
by Mitchell, Michael 09 May '08

09 May '08

I spent yesterday trying to get a fresh install of Debian Etch and Koha3Beta following the instructions maintained by Joshua Ferraro at http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob;f=INSTALL.debian;h= 1c35e8098c561f3f563b9c8f5f7e5844c60cdab5;hb=HEAD. After many false starts I finally got to this point on my web browser when connecting to both the 80 and 8080 ports. I thought all the cpan/Perl modules had loaded without error but I guess not. I tried reloading the ZOOM::Z39.50 module but got a bunch of test errors this time. Anybody know what's wrong here and how I can fix it?-- Software error: Can't locate ZOOM.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 59.

Debian fun continues
by Chadwick, John, DCA 09 May '08

09 May '08

Thanks to all who have offered advice recently. I discovered that part of the problem in my first install was that I skipped a step when installing Koha, the dselect debian packages. I finally did a clean install of the server software and started again. The only problem I had and I finally resolved it was with ImageMagick. You need to install PerlMagick as well to make everything work. Now my problem is probably very simple, but I did not have any problems like this with Ubuntu 7.10. I am using Debian Etch and I am having trouble getting port 80 or 8080 to work properly. I can go to the console (using Gnome) and use the browser to go to http://127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1/> or http://127.0.0.1:8080 <http://127.0.0.1:8080/> and everything is fine. When I use the IP address I get the default IP Apache web page ("It Works!). Doesn't matter if I specify a port or not. When I edit the conf file for koha and put in the IP address, it works, but then I lose the ability to use phpmyadmin.
