Why No Discussion Forum?
by Bo Schafers 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hi, I'm a mere newbie here so I apologise for shooting my mouth off ...again.... I'd like to ask the question, why is there no Koha Discussion forum? It's standard practice all over the web, a super efficient, proven paradigm. Are mail lists not a bit archaic in this day and age? I think one of the biggest problems with the current archived list is that it's not searchable and that its organisation is just time-based, rather than being subject/topic based. I't very time consuming to read back through 100's of postings to find out if anything has been posted previously on various issues, epecially for newbies. Koha's not an easy bit of software, but truly wonderful when its up-and-running. It deserves much more exposure. It deserves the best possible support forum. I would imagine the vast majority of folks are just give up on it after tinkering a bit. And putting out the appropriate word-of-mouth 'advertising'... If there is a lack someone willing provide the webspace I'd be prepared to host 'forum.koa.org' Apologies if this has been discussed before. Bo

OpenSolaris and kohaadmin rights at installation
by Thommy M. 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

I've done a Koha setup on Opensolaris (snv_65) with Koha 2.2.9. After some fiddling with the prerequisites I finally came to # perl installer.pl Everyting seems to go smooth until kohaadmin wants to use the database. ............... Creating the MySQL database for Koha... ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) DBI connect('Koha:localhost','kohaadmin',...) failed: Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 411 Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at scripts/updater/updatedatabase line 1553. Problem updating database... root@schumi:/opt/local/src/koha-2.2.9# ................ Looks like there are some credentials for kohaadmin that are not set correctly by the install.pl script. Any hints??? Cheers, /Thommy M. Here's the whole listing... # perl installer.pl WELCOME TO THE KOHA INSTALLER This program will ask some questions and try to install koha for you. You need to know: where most koha files should be stored (you can set the prefix environment variable for this); the username and password of a mysql superuser; and details of your library setup. You may also need to know details of your Apache setup. If you want to install the Koha configuration files somewhere other than /etc (for installing not as root, or to have many Kohas on one system, for example), you should set the etcdir environment variable. Please look at your manuals for details of how to set that. Recommended answers are given in brackets after each question. To accept the default value for any question (indicated by []), simply hit Enter at the prompt. Note that you also can define an auto_install_file, that will answer every question automatically. To use this feature, run ./installer.pl -i /path/to/auto_install_file Are you ready to begin the installation? ([Y]/N): Great! Continuing... PERL MODULES Checking perl modules ...

Koha Log Directory [/usr/local/koha/log]: DATABASE NAME Please provide the name that you wish to give your koha database. It must not exist already on the database server. Most users give a short single-word name for their library here. Database name [Koha]: DATABASE HOST Please provide the mysql server name. Unless the database is stored on another machine, this should be "localhost". Database host [localhost]: DATABASE USER We are going to create a new mysql user for Koha. This user will have full administrative rights to the database called Koha when they connect from localhost. This is also the name of the Koha librarian superuser. Most users give a single-word name here. Database user [kohaadmin]: DATABASE PASSWORD Please provide a good password for the user kohaadmin. IMPORTANT: You can log in using this user and password at any time. Password for database user kohaadmin: kohaadmin Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Install.pm line 1358, <STDIN> line 9. APACHE CONFIGURATION Koha needs to write an Apache configuration file for the OPAC and Librarian sites. By default this installer will do this by using one name and two different ports for the virtual hosts. There are other ways to set this up, and the installer will leave comments in /etc/koha-httpd.conf about them. NOTE: You will need to add lines to your main httpd.conf to include /etc/koha-httpd.conf (using the Include directive) and to make sure it is listening on the right ports and host names (using the Listen directive). Press <ENTER> to continue: WEB E-MAIL CONTACT Enter the e-mail address to be used as a contact for Koha. This address is displayed if fatal errors are encountered. E-mail contact [webmaster@]: thommym(a)at-hardeberga.com WEB HOST NAME OR IP ADDRESS Please enter the host name or IP address that you wish to use for koha. Normally, this should be a name or IP that belongs to this machine. Host name or IP Address [schumi]: OPAC PORT Please enter the port for your OPAC interface. This defaults to port 80, but if you are already serving web content with this hostname, you should change it to a different port (8000 might be a good choice, but check any firewalls). Enter the OPAC Port [80]: LIBRARIAN PORT Please enter the port for your Librarian interface. This must be different from the OPAC port (80). Enter the Intranet Port [8080]: UPDATING APACHE CONFIGURATION Checking for modules that need to be loaded...

Re: [Koha] What perl editor is best for Koha

Yes, that is the trivial case: just replace the new files from the distro with your templates. But what if (subtle) changes have been made to the templates in the new version? How would you know? And if you do know, how do you merge the changes into your template? Current example: one of the templates had to have one single variable name changed from RESERVES to RESERVE. If you simply copied your (old) template over top of the bug fix template, you would lose the change and re-introduce a bug. cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services War is God's way of teaching Americans geography. -- Ambrose Bierce
