Z39.50 Question regarding same title from multiple servers
by Mike Dalgity 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

When I search for a title using the ISBN (0842308245 - Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage) I get results from both the LoC and AMICUS. However, the "Import" link contains the same action for both results "javascript:Import(1,0)". My question is what happens if the records differ by source server? It appears it doesn't distinguish which one it actually imports but maybe I'm missing something. Mike D.

Z39.50 General query term problem
by Mike Dalgity 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

I'm having a problem when searching a certain Z39.50 server for more general search terms suchas Authors and Titles. I have no problem with the same query with AMICUS and LoC and I also do not have a problem with a more specific searchs such as an ISBN. One general search term I used is "Tolkien, J. R. R." in the author field. The server configuration information is here http://library.dts.edu/Pages/Help/Tech/z39.50.shtml I get a 500 Internal Server Error in the browser and the following in the error log: something went wrong: No error at /var/www/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/z3950/search.pl line 134. doing the search at /var/www/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/z3950/search.pl line 144. connection 0: event 1 (connect) connection 0: event 6 (send apdu) connection 0: event 2 (send data) connection 0: event 3 (receive data) connection 0: event 7 (receive apdu) connection 0: event 6 (send apdu) connection 0: event 2 (send data) connection 0: event 3 (receive data) connection 0: event 7 (receive apdu) connection 0: event 9 (receive search) connection 0: event 10 (end) library.dts.edu at /var/www/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/z3950/search.pl line 160.

From the Koha Intranet interface go to the Parameters->System Preferences page. The select the Intranet tab. There is a setting for "Template encoding". What is this value in your installation? It should be set to utf-8. Also the encodings for mysql tables should be set to utf8 too. The record you have included above looks good to me.

This way you have better chance to get an answer - someone besides me may be able to address your question. Also the lists are archived so in the future someone may find this discussion useful.

How to select Framework
by Anthony Manzo 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

How does one go about selecting which MARC Framework to use if there are multiple. I have one framework called test and another that has no identifier but the description is 'Default framework'. I have setup the Test framework as the one to use yet whenever I do a MARC Check it ignores the Test framework and looks at the Default. I've looked all over the gui, database tables and scripts and haven't found anything that allow me to select the framework to use. I am running Koha V 2.2.7 in a linux environment. Thanks, Tony manzo(a)salk.edu

Installing Koha when the Koha database already exists
by Rick Welykochy 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hello again, The Koha /2.2.8 install I am doing insists on creating a new database. The install fails since the there is no MySQL daemon listening on localhost (see previous email). What I really need to do is skip the database creation step since I already have imported an existing Koha database from another install. Is this possible? If so, I can proceed to complete the install (hopefully) by skipling this step. thanks, rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better. -- George W Bush

Setting Reservation Fees to Zero
by Chartrand, Michael 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Even though we've set our fees for reserving materials to zero (0.0000) for each patron category, patrons are still getting an annoying message saying they will be charged a $1.00 fee for making the reserve. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Our enrollments fees are set to zero and we don't get any prompts for that when we add a new patron. Do we have to make it something like $0.01 in the Reserve Fee field? Any and all suggestions welcome.

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

install with Solaris
by Carl J. Russo 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

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
