Installation bug regarding creating Koha database
by Rick Welykochy 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

During the install I specified the following as the mysql server address: 10.11.12.1 since localhost is not available. But the install script ignored this specification when createing the Koha database and I see the following error message: Creating the MySQL database for Koha... /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better. -- George W Bush

We are running Solaris 10. Has anybody installed on that platform? If you have, can you give a description of the install procedure, or how it differs from an install on Linux. Any help is appreciated. thanks, Joe

a librarian's question
by Silvia Soto-Bussard 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hello! We recently joined the mailing list and read numerous emails with very technical questions, of which 10% I can understand. My questions: 1. - Being in Acquisitions, wanting to delete a whole record, lets say that title is being withdrawn, how do I do it? Can I use that "barcode" number again, (in our case it is up to WNTS3986) or will it automatically continue the sequence when I enter the details of another book? 2.- How do you differentiate between a 2nd copy and a 2nd volume, and where? By now you have guessed we do not use MARC records, and we are not online, it is a small special library of about 7000 vol. Thanks, Silvia Soto-Bussard Librarian Theosophical Society of New Zealand, Wellington Branch.

hi Monica, Just response to your post. Monica wrote: The issue I have is how to make it accessible to the entire department based around the state. We have a main server in our headquarters building, and due to the politics of the situation I need to put in a request to the IT department which is contracted to Northrup Gruman (an outside firm). I need to understand if it is enough that it is installed already on my computer so that it could act as the server/host and just have the file sharing (?) available, or do they need to install it on the main server, if so what does that involve, so I know what to ask for? ----- The ideal solution is to install Koha on a server preferably Linux. It is possible to setup your computer to act as server and accessible around the state. But in the actual environment, a lot of factor should be consider such as connection bandwith, security, stability and server load as it will give heavy impact on your system. I am sure that you don't want your Koha user to be disappointed for slow performance and will blame Koha and Open Source solution at the end. The best way is to work out with your technical/IT department to identify your overall system requirement as it will save a lot of your time and effort in long term. Maybe, this community can help you to advice on the system requirement part based on your organizational needs (e.g: number of user, network setup and etc.) Hope it can help.

How this all works
by Bakhti-Suroosh, Monica 11 Apr '07

I would like to apologize right now for my ignorance in all things technical. I am a librarian for a State agency with huge budget issues. It is my understanding from your website and research that I have done, that I should be able to run Koha free of charge if I use my own technical team. I have installed the software(from the Windows download page) to one of my computers in our actual library and it is running very well. I find it to be very user friendly. The issue I have is how to make it accessible to the entire department based around the state. We have a main server in our headquarters building, and due to the politics of the situation I need to put in a request to the IT department which is contracted to Northrup Gruman (an outside firm). I need to understand if it is enough that it is installed already on my computer so that it could act as the server/host and just have the file sharing (?) available, or do they need to install it on the main server, if so what does that involve, so I know what to ask for? Thank You and again, please forgive me. Monica B. Suroosh Librarian

From CDS/ISIS to Koha
by Danica Zendulková 06 Apr '07

06 Apr '07

Hello, has had anybody an experience with conversion from CDS/ISIS database to Koha? We have following problem: import from iso2709 from WinISIS doesn't made correct records. Number of imported records is correct but differents fields are not recognized correctly. I.e. first numbers of iso record: 008620000000002650004500003000500... etc are considered as field. It is possible that Koha does not recognize ^ indicator of subfield when CDS/ISIS database is made on Windows? Our Koha runs on Linux. Please help! Please would you kindly send your ideas to: zendulkova(a)cvtisr.sk Regards Ing. Danica Zendulková Slovak Republic e-mail: zendulkova(a)cvtisr.sk
