Installation gives nondescript 500 error
by C.S. Hayward 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

I had, I thought, run through the instructions to install Koha. Now, when I try to connect to the library by hostname, it simply says "Internal Server Error". There is no additional information in any of the /var/log/apache2 error logs, and no additional lines in /var/log/koha/library/opac-error.log. What can I do to get useful diagnostics and step closer to getting things working? Thanks, Br. C.S. Hayward, https://cjshayward.com

Hi! Thank you very much for this suggestion! I will evaluate if this solution is possible with my hosting provider. Thanks a lot and have a nice day!

Introduction
by C.S. Hayward 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

I am an author and somewhat of a software developer with interests in user experience and information architecture. I have a website under development at https://cshayward.com, and a live site at https://cjshayward.com. Some librarians may find the user interface at https://orthodoxchurchfathers.com to be an interesting power user interface. I have been asked to become a librarian of my monastery's paper book library and of what is meant to become a video library of lectures. I'm having slight difficulties installing Koha off of the wiki for the Linux command line, and I'll address those in a separate email. But here I wanted to introduce myself and invite you to visit my websites! Many Thanks, Br. C.S. Hayward, author and apologist, and more importantly novice at St. Demetrios Orthodox Monastery (monastery webshop, oKyrios social net) I invite you to visit my official author site (author bio, bookshelf). One title is Happiness in an Age of Crisis: Ancient Wisdom from the Eastern Orthodox Church. My newest posting is What to Own for Happiness (and what not).

by Mason James 13 Apr '22

hi Folks does anyone have any experience running Koha with ES? i've done some basic testing (on 20.11) - it seems to work well and its speed is impressive! (🦄 + 🌈) - is it generally safe to run in production? - any major problems, or missing areas of functionality? any advice or info would be welcomed cheers, Mason

Suggestion regarding the install wiki page
by C.S. Hayward 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

The logic in the installation wiki page at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian is not strictly linear; it embodies conditional logic. That it says, "If you want ABC, do such-and-such, otherwise do such-and-such". This seems to call for indentation as used in Python and (with braces) other computer languages. That is, I suggest that the wiki should follow something like the following format: [Instructions which you should do first in and in the specified order for any installation] If you want to install by 'stable', 'oldstable', or 'oldoldstable' nomenclature: [Indented instructions to install accordingly] Otherwise, you can install by release number: [Indented instructions to install by release number]. In any case, when you have finished, you will want to continue with: [Instructions to continue after the indented instruction options have been addressed.] This can be done more than once, and it can be nested more than one deep if your logic includes a choice within a choice. HTH, Br. C.S. Hayward, author and apologist, and more importantly novice at St. Demetrios Orthodox Monastery
