koha 3.0 debian etch apache2
by Jim LaValle 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

I made it through the make install script with one warning Dumper 2.12108 not found. we have 2.121 The make test had lots of errors because it assumes I have tables in the mysql koha database. The problem I having now is my system seems to be ignoring the ScriptAlias directives in the koha-httpd.conf file. It is linked to koha in the site-enabled directory. The /var/log/apache2/error.log indicates that the ScriptAlias are not recognized or being ignored. Has anyone else had this problem?

Disk space requirement for Web Server
by Karina Tumon 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hello Everyone, What is the usage bandwidth for a typical Koha library catalogue? Is it possible to go over 40 megabytes of disc space (on a Web Server) and over 400 megabytes of traffic per month? We have 1500 items in our catalogue. Thank you.

koha 3.0 alpha, Debian etch, apache2
by Jim LaValle 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hi all, I've been trying to load koha 3.0, on Debian etch and apache2 and got to step 6 in the install.debian instructions. I could not access the web installer. It turns out, I could not access any .pl files with a web browser! After days of search and trying things, I added a cgi-bin directory to my /home/*/public_html directory. I could execute .cgi files but not .pl files. I added the following to my /etc/apache2/mods-available/perl.load file <Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler ModPerl::Registry Options +ExecCGI </Directory> now I can open my test .pl file in my browser. Should something like this be added to /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf or am I missing something else? Jim LaValle jimlavalle(a)comcast.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~mncghs

Bugzilla
by Linda R 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

Hello, Does anyone know how long the Koha Bugzilla has been available publicly? From another post, I had the impression (please correct me if I'm wrong), that it was originally an internal bug management database at Katipo. When did it become public for everyone to report bugs?

For comparison purposes, with non-KOHA systems ... a zipped backup file on my old software, not client-server, took up 62MB for 50,000 titles; 68,000 copies; & 30,000 authority records. When I migrated to a client-server system, each backup file required close to 1GB. The question becomes what is backing up: everything or just data? What information is stored? Your question has made me more curious about KOHA server requirements.

Christopher (& Jesse), Would the calculation not be rounded up to 1 KB, not 1MB, per record? Thus, each set of 1,000 records (1K each) would equal 1MB? 13,000 bib records would need a minimum of 13MB of storage. Is that right? The next question is, "How many keywords and other index pointers does KOHA have taking additional space per record?" Authority records also take space if you use them. In a non-KOHA, commercial program, I have as many authority records as I do bib records.

[Need Advices] Best Hardware Specs & Apache-MySQL Setting for Big Libraries?
by Suyadi 20 Feb '08

20 Feb '08

Dear All, We are from a University Library in Indonesia. We've successfully migrated to koha 3.0. Please visit our OPAC at http://search.lib.ums.ac.id Total Number of Bibliography is about 45,000 and 130,000 Items. Circulation Transactions is 1600 check-outs/day. Currently we are using IBM X3400 Server (Xeon E5405 and 1 GB Memory), Ubuntu 7.10, Apache Web Server & MySQL. However, we feel the system works quite slow especially in cataloging and circulations. Do we need to upgrade the hardware? or I need to tweak apache & mysql to improve my system? Regards, Suyadi UMS Library -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-Need-Advices--Best-Hardware-Specs---Apache-MySQL-Set… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Install on Debian Etch

20 Feb '08

I am running Debian ETCH. I have followed the install instructions as well as installing requisite items using CPAN. I cannot, however, install the last couple. Having run 'perl Makefile.PL', at the end I get: [Mon Feb 18 21:43:35 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite DBD::mysql 4.004 not found. We have 3.0008. [Mon Feb 18 21:44:05 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite XML::LibXSLT 1.59 not found. Writing Makefile for koha In attempting to install these in CPAN I get the following errors: cpan> install DBD::mysql Running install for module DBD::mysql Running make for C/CA/CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.006.tar.gz Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-4.006 Makefile.PL returned status 512 Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted?

Won't install AND make: *** [blib/arch/auto/XML/LibXSLT/LibXSLT.so] 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 Then when I run 'make install' I get: biblio:/home/harry/Desktop/koha-3.00.00-alpha# make install /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" fix-perl-path.PL blib chown: `koha:koha': invalid user make: *** [set_koha_ownership] Error 1 Any ideas?
