Friends, I am an engineering student and presently working on a project of Configuring Koha in linux along with 11 others members in college. We have only some basic knowledge of linux and would like to know where and how to start configuring koha for our library... We are supposed to submit the project towards the end of February. Hope you would reply at the earliest... Regards Mahesh

Recommended Computer Specs
by Alfred Nutile 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Sorry if this is somewhere on the site. Maybe someone could just send me a link. Is there are way to spec out a server for an "average" size library. Maybe there is a book volume measuring system to say if you have this many books then you need these specs for a server? Thanks Al ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Parameters question
by Linda Roholt 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

In setting up the parameters area, we've encountered the following issues: 1- In the Item Types section the screen only displays the first 20 or so - I would like to edit some entries as "not for loan" yet I'm not able to access them. What other options are there? The full list of item types show up in the issuing rules area however. 2- If you list an Item Type as yes in the not for loan area how do you set up that same item type in the issuing rules area - it seems illogical to have to give issuing/circulation rules for an item type you set as not for loan. It would make sense to keep the item types blank if they do not circulate, but If you leave the issue and fine are blank there is a hard coded default of 21,5, right? 3- The biblio framework section (marc structure) - Is there a download that would create this section? Our IT team created tables in this section but when we try to edit this area we are not able to add any tags or fields and it bumps back to the first screen in this section. The 2.2 users guide alludes to a download "When Koha was installed, the installer had the option of downloading either a MARC 21 or a UNIMARC "database" (or no MARC database at all). If this was done, you now have a database table containing most of the MARC tags and subfields ..." Where is this download located?

What Server Specs do YOU run Koha on?
by Joshua Ferraro 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Hiya folks, Recently we've had a lot of people ask about recommended server specs for Koha. This is a tough question to answer because it comes loaded with assumptions about the size of the collection, transaction load, etc. So I was wondering if those of you who are running Koha in your libraries could just post a quick email to the list saying how large your collection is, number of transactions, what server specs you use (proc speed, RAM, disk space, etc.), and how the performance has been for you ... and then we can compile that as part of the FAQ.

more than 1 Field 650 SUBJECT - Topical Term
by Octavee Uhl 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

Is there any way to have the default in our koha library for the Field 650 'Subject - Topical Term' to show up 3 times or 4 times instead of just 1 time? I am aware that I can add topical terms when I need to. But this takes so much time to do so, several clicks and reloads for just one more entry. Thanks, Octavee ________________ Koha 2.28 Linux -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/more-than-1-Field-650-SUBJECT---Topical-Term-tp148091… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

XML::SAX breaks Koha 2.2.9
by Scott Leafe 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

For some odd reason, I can no longer successfully install Koha 2.2.9 on Debian Sarge or Etch. All goes fine but when we get to the point of adding a record to the database (i.e., calling addbiblio.pl), we crash (either error code 500 or it prompts to "Save addbiblio.pl) with the following error in the log: [Fri Jan 18 16:51:16 2008] [error] [client 10.x.x.x] Can't call method "append_fields" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/MARC/File/SAX.pm line 95. at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/XML/LibXML/$ [Fri Jan 18 16:51:16 2008] [error] [client 10.x.x.x] at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/MARC/File/XML.pm line 443, referer: http://10.x.x.x:7070/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl?oldbiblionumber… [Fri Jan 18 16:51:16 2008] [error] [client 10.x.x.x] Premature end of script headers: addbiblio.pl, referer: http://10.x.x.x:7070/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl?oldbiblionumber… Any help would be appreciated. I have had two working libraries on 2.2.9 since its release and this is the first trouble I have encountered. I am following (precisely I might add) the Kohadocs.org installation instructions for installing 2.2.7 on Debian Sarge (which has always worked in the past). It would appear to be a problem with the perl modules but I am at a loss to say what it is. Scott Leafe

MARC -> Non-MARC table conversion problem
by Jesse 19 Jan '08

19 Jan '08

In the rebuildnonmarc.pl and bulkmarcimport.pl scripts, there is a small problem (for our library at least). The export function on our current ILS is somewhat limited, so item and biblioitem information gets stuck into the same 952 tag. When the scripts delete the 952 tag from the record, after putting it into its own MARC::Record for NEWnewitem, it messes up the biblioitem conversion. I've fixed this (as far as I can tell) by removing the $record->delete_field($field) line from both scripts, and can provide diffs if wanted. -- Jesse
