I am trying to install koha on a ubuntu 6.06 amd64 machine. When I add these lines: #for Yaz Toolkit deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge released I get this when I do an apt-get update: Err http://ftp.indexdata.dk indexdata/sarge/released Packages 404 Not Found and then a little farther down: Failed to fetch http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/dists/indexdata/sarge/released/binary-amd64/… 404 Not Found If I do a apt-get install libyaz it upgrades it to 2.1.8 which will not work. Any help suggestions are desperately appreciated.

Koha 2.2.8 has been released
by Paul POULAIN 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

Koha 2.2.8 has been released & is available at : http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/koha/koha-2.2.8.tar.gz Koha 2.2.8 is a bug fix only release. RELEASE NOTES ============= Koha is the first Open-Source Integrated Library System. Koha is a full-featured open-source ILS. Developed initially in New Zealand by Katipo Communications Ltd and first deployed in January of 2000 for Horowhenua Library Trust, it is currently maintained by a team of software providers and library technology staff from around the globe. Koha 2.2.8 is more than 250,000 lines of code (see : http://bureau.paulpoulain.com/cvslog/) , contributed by about 50 different developers (46, +translators). The 2.2.8 version of Koha is a mature product, with a lot of nice features. More than 100 libraries are registered as users on wiki.koha.org, and we are sure that at least 300 libraries use the software. There are 2 projects derived from Koha. ======= INSTALLER WARNING ======= During installation, you may get the 2 following lines in red : - Too late to run INIT block at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux/ZOOM.pm line 37. - Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Install.pm line 1677, <HC> line 1117. You can safely ignore them ======= CHANGES ======= Changes 2.2.7 => 2.2.8 ********************** Koha 2.2.8 is a bug fix only release. * (critical) a security hole has been fixed in the fines payement process : anyone was able to "pay" some fine, even without any permission, if it knows how the URL to call. * (major) when searching z3950 on a biblio MODIF, the result was an add. This was really a problem for z3950 query after an acquisition. * (major) there was some mixing between itemnotes & biblioitems notes, depending on your MARC structure (does not apply to everybody) * (major) Books will no longer be returned by transferbook, thus, breaking the loop. Transfer book should be used when transfering books from branch to branch. if a book is returned at a branch, transfer the book there. if a book is transfered to a branch, while its on loan, set holding to the new branch. Useful if a borrower moves branches, while borrowing books. * (major) when searching z3950 on title, only the 1st word of the title was searched. * (major) when recieving serials, the recieve date was not properly calculated. It seems the problem occurs only since 2007/01/01 * datelastborrowed was not properly saved when issuing * some dependency checkings (during install) fixed * publisher code was not unicode compliant (applies only to unicode libraries) * for libraries with insecure=ON, a bug was sometimes rised * a normal librarian can't no more delete a "superlibrarian" * borrowers with a ' in their surname can be searched in members module * there was some bugs (and missing) links on acqui page for npl templates * biblios without isbn or issn can now be imported in the reservoir * (cosmetic) virtual shelves now go to opac-detail, not to opac-MARCdetail * (cosmetic) some dates are now shown as defined in the systempreferences * (cosmetic) some systempreferences were not on the proper place in system pref editing Technical note for developpers : the 2.2.8 version is in a specific branch, called R_2-2-7-1. This is because rel_2_2 had some unstable improvements and we wanted to release a stable version quickly. The 2.2.9 will rely on rel_2_2 as usual. -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org) Tel : 04 91 31 45 19

Important cataloguing discussion
by BWS Johnson 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

Salvete! http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/ I figured that I would post this here after hearing about it from another list. Seeing as how our developers give a darn about what users and librarians want, it might be very fruitful for folks to look over. Cheers, Brooke @ Hinsdale MA

650z, 650x, 650y subfield searching
by Jenny Collery 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hello All, I am having a problem with searching subject subdivisions. When I search the catalogue for the information in subject subdivision fields 650z, 650x and 650y the search is not finding information that I know is there in entered in those fields. For example when I search for "Infants - Care" (where Infants is in 650a and Care 650x), I get 0 results. But I know that I have three records with this subject attached. When I search for Infants on its own, the three records show up in the results. In the MARC tag structure I have the following entered in the Search Also field of the 650a tag: '600a','610a','610b','650v','650x','650y' Has anyone else had this problem, or have any advice.

Koha and Apache NameVirtualHost confusion
by Kevin O'Rourke 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Hi, I've been trying to set up Koha on our main server but keep hitting problems with Apache NameVirtualHost configuration. The Apache documentation on this is very unclear and unhelpful, so I'm hoping that one of you has already been through this and can help. Our server has two IP addresses, one connected to the internet and the other to our LAN. It also has several names: mail.nti.gov.ng and opac.nti.gov.ng on the internet side and some .ntilan names on the LAN side. It's Apache 2 on Debian 3.1, which means it's using Debian's slightly over-clever Apache configuration mechanism. What I want to do is get it set up so that: mail.nti.gov.ng -> the default site on the Apache server opac.nti.gov.ng / opac.ntilan -> the Koha OPAC opac.ntilan:8080 -> the Koha intranet At present the intranet is working fine but opac.nti.gov.ng and mail.nti.gov.ng both take me to the Koha OPAC! The output of '/usr/sbin/apache2 -S' is: > VirtualHost configuration: > 216.118.254.115:80 is a NameVirtualHost > default server opac.nti.gov.ng (/etc/koha-httpd.conf:23) > port 80 namevhost opac.nti.gov.ng (/etc/koha-httpd.conf:23) > 192.168.0.3:80 is a NameVirtualHost > default server opac.nti.gov.ng (/etc/koha-httpd.conf:23) > port 80 namevhost opac.nti.gov.ng (/etc/koha-httpd.conf:23) > 192.168.0.3:8080 is a NameVirtualHost > default server opac.ntilan (/etc/koha-httpd.conf:41) > port 8080 namevhost opac.ntilan (/etc/koha-httpd.conf:41) > wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: > *:443 is a NameVirtualHost > default server mail.nti.gov.ng (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ssl:3) > port 443 namevhost mail.nti.gov.ng (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ssl:3) > *:80 is a NameVirtualHost > default server mail.nti.gov.ng (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:3) > port 80 namevhost mail.nti.gov.ng (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:3) > Syntax OK So it looks like the default server from the /etc/koha-httpd.conf (linked from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/010-koha) is overriding the one I want from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default, any suggestions how I can prevent this? To keep this email short I haven't included all the configuration files, but I can send them if necessary.

[Koha] More than one installation on one server--html removed, sorry
by Dan Foote - DTS 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Can somebody please give me some information on how to go about putting more than one Koha site on the same server? I do have an installation up and running. I created a second installation using different ports for both the intranet and opac sides. Two config files for each site have also been created with different names, appropriate paths, db info, permissions, etc. Web server listens and responds on the assigned ports. I can watch both the koha and opac error logs and see where I fail, which always appears to be in relation to C4::Context. With this, I reviewed the Context.pm file and set the "use constant CONFIG_FNAME => "/etc/koha.conf";" statement to "use constant CONFIG_FNAME => "/etc/koha-2.conf";" (the name of my second config file). What I've done, doesn't appear to work. Even though my httpd.conf include appears to work properly, the only time I got a log in window in Koha on the 2nd site was when I changed the above CONFIG_FNAME to the new path in my first installation. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, to set up the new site, I copied my first site into the new path, created a new DB, changed permissions, and created new config files. Thanks. Dan --

Z39.50 Search Issue
by Ata ur Rehman 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Dear Rob and All I am testing Koha 2.2.7 from last two months. I have fixed so many things with the help, cooperation and support of Koha community and specially Rob. I installed the new release of Koha 227 (http://koha.rwjr.com/Koha2.2.7-W32-R3.EXE) with Perl Modules Release 5 for Koha (http://koha.rwjr.com/Perl5.8.xModulesForKohaR5.EXE) I have also installed the Patch (http://koha.rwjr.com/PerlModulesPatchR1.EXE) Now Koha is working fine, but Z39.50 search is not working properly. Is there any problem with my installation or this option is not available for Win 32 (I have read somewhere for older versions of Koha, z39.50 search is not available, I think in Rob Weir help file). Can someone guide me in this regard? when i search through z39.50 button the following error is shown: Server error! The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Error message: Premature end of script headers: search.pl If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Display Key Word Field
by Jenny Collery 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi Everyone, I have just completed defining my MARC Structure and have added a few test books. I notice there does not seem to be a specific Koha field for adding a Key Word (as opposed to a controlled subject term) to a catalogue record. I have tried using the 653 tag and defined this as key word, but I am not happy with the way the results display on the catalogue (i.e. the key word is listed under the other controlled subject terms). Has anyone met this problem, or got any input - perhaps I am missing something obvious at this stage..... As usual, any help would be appreciated.
