Foolproof Koha installation script?
by jtarrant＠talk21.com 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi. Just spent the last hour failing to install Koha on Ubuntu 7.1. Having problems with zoom and yaz. Does anybody have a foolproof installation script that just installs everything required on an empty system? I do feel that this should be an easier process... The script can be for Windows, OSX or Linux, don't really mind (I have access to all three). Finding a foolproof way to install Koha would get more people using it. Maybe we need a koha.iso.

Koha frameworks internationalisation
by Thomas Dukleth 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Do you use MARC 21 in a language other than English? Do you use UNIMARC in a language other than French or English? Do you use a MARC variant other than MARC 21 or UNIMARC? If you have any language specific or MARC variant specific Koha frameworks for sharing, please contact me on or off the list. LibLime has asked me to prepare whatever MARC frameworks I can obtain for use in the forthcoming version of Koha 3.0. Share yours so that others do not need to do redundant work. [MARC frameworks are either bibliographic or authorities frameworks and go by various names in Koha depending upon how you access them. In the system administration intranet interface, they are identified as Biblio framework (MARC structure) for bibliographic frameworks or Thesaurus structure for authorities. In the installation directories, they have names such as structure_def.sql for bibliographic frameworks or authorities_normal_marc.sql for authorities.] I will supply very simple instructions for exporting your frameworks from your SQL database if you need such assistance.

Spider to crawl Catalog URLs
by Lenora Oftedahl 24 Nov '07

Hi. Does anyone have recommendations for a spider that will crawl all the URLs in my catalog and send back reports about good and bad URLs? I am currently running InMagic & Koha in tandem so need spiders for both. Thanx. Lenora -- *************************************** Lenora A.

Newbie questions re servers for Koha
by Tammy Lynne Kirk 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Hi, I've been volunteered to set up an ILS for my niece's school. She goes to a small montissori grammar school with a library of about 500 books (or less). I looked into the open-source options and thought that I'd give Koha a try. The main problem that I have right now, though, is that I'm not very familiar with how servers work. Can I install the server software on one of the computers in the school's network (assuming they are networked) or will they need to buy an independent box to act as a server? If the school is not networked, what do I do? Can I run Koha on a stand-alone? I've explored the documentations page but most of the stuff I've read there explains what to do AFTER you've installed Koha. I really need help with installing Koha in a small school library that may not have a networked environment. Thanks, Tammy

Digital Signature Implementation
by arnab 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Dear All, I'm using Koha227 on windows platform. I'm working on a customization module of patron authentication using Digital Signature. Patron could search books and send requisition to the librarian. At the time of the issue, the patron has to give his/her password. The information regarding the book, patron id etc will be converted into a message digest and using a Digital Signature algorithm, would be stored in the database. In future if the patron denies accepting the book, this will be used to very the patron authentication. So, far I'm not able to install the module required for the implementation of digital signature. Should I go for implementing the Crypt::DSA module?? if so how should this module be installed. thanx Arnab -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Digital-Signature-Implementation-tf4865101.html#a1392… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
