Re: Koha 2.2.7 Windows version install issues.
by Jeff Yamamoto 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

I installed the Windows version of Koha 2.2.7 following the exact steps in http://www.koha.rwjr.com/. During the install, couple of messages showed up which concerned with Apache and the fact that Koha install cannot find either the Apache.exe or the httpd.conf file. I let the install find those files and finished the installation. After everything was complete, I inputted http://localhost in my browser and the only thing that came up is the text "It Works!" No Koha interface. Also, the only place I found the Apache.exe file was at C:\Program Files\IBM\Director\websrv\bin. I'm using Windows XP SP2. Any clues on why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

Why can't I edit item's barcode?
by Paul Colley 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

I've just installed Koha, and run into a problem: It won't let me edit the item's barcode; when I click in the field it fills it in with the next sequential number, and I can't edit it. Changing the "autoBarcode" system preference doesn't seem to affect behaviour. I was expecting to be able to use the existing barcode on some items, and purchase sequentially numbered pre-preinted barcodes for the rest. I don't see any differences between the settings I have and those on the LibLime demo, which does let me edit the item's barcode. Version information: Koha version: 2.2.6 OS version (from 'uname -a'): Linux chirpa 2.4.27-3-386 #1 Wed Dec 6 00:38:33 UTC 2006 i586 GNU/Linux Perl version: 5.008004 MySQL version: mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.11, for pc-linux-gnu (i386) Apache version: Thanks, -- - Paul Colley paul(a)thecolleys.net +1 905 420 6441 "There are starving children in Thailand studying programming right now, so get your butt in gear!"

Problem in addbiblio.pl in all versions of koha - Additional authors are not saved properly
by Jogiraju TALLAPRAGADA 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Dear All, When a new record is created addbiblio.pl is inserting all multiple authors entered at tag 700 subfield 'a' in the additionalauthors table perfectly well, each in separate record duplicating the biblionumber. But when the record is updated using edit biblio only one of these multiple authors entered in the tag 700 of MARC 21 is retaind and the other authors are missing from the additionalauthors table. If a new author is added to the tag 700 that author alone figure in the additionalauthors field. Where as I am able to add modify Topical Terms with out loosing any entry and they are properly inserted/updated in the bibliosubjet table. Can any body guide me as to how to rectify this error. I found this happen in koha 2.2.7 version also, both in Linux and Windows version. Thanks With regards, T. JOGI RAJU --------------------------------- Now that's room service!

Increase max-length in borrowers category code field
by Maria Doria 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Hello all, I'd like to increase the field in the borrower's category code (seted up in parameters) from a max-length of '2' to '3'. I've already changed this length at MySQL at the right column ('categorie'), did it in the HTML code in both 'default' and 'npl' templates but I still can only write a 2 max-length field when adding a new borrower's code... Any suggestions or any idea of what I may be doing wrong? I've searched the archives but there were no questions related. I'm using Koha 2.2.7 in Debian, MySQL 4.0.24, Perl 5.

Dear All I am trying to configure my Koha application for Z39.50 Search. For that purpose I have downloaded yaz-toolkit from indexdata and installed it. After that I downloaded Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.16 from CPAN and trying to install it but the following error comes on command prompt: C:\Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.16>perl makefile.PL 'yaz-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

ERROR: Unable to call script: yaz-config If you are using a YAZ installation from the Debian package "yaz", you will also need to install "libyaz-dev" in order to build this module.

Re: Koha Digest, Vol 16, Issue 29

The problem is solved. This "server internal error" when performing Z search is caused by the block of a particular port (210) on the path from the Koha server to our partner library's Horizon server. Thanks, Dave!

To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi, My library is currently using a proprietary ILS which meets all our needs and a good share of our wants. However, I've been watching Koha for a couple of years and have been impressed with its advances over time. I doubt that it would feasible for us to migrate to Koha (we have lots of bells and whistles with our current system). However, I'm interested in loading Koha on a development server just to try it out and see how it works with our data. We currently have around 500,000 items (250,000 bibs), 110,000 borrowers, and 10 locations. Does anyone have suggestions on what type of server specs would be good for a development server? I'm interested in "recommended" specs (not just minimum requirements). Most of the Koha libraries I've looked at seem to be using Debian. Would there likely be problems using another distro such as Red Hat? I think my manager might be more comfortable with a distro that has mainstream support available (we have no Linux administration experience). Are there any MySQL size limits that I would need to worry about? Is there anything else obvious that I need to consider? Thanks for your help/suggestions.
