installation of Koha on SuSE/SLES 10
by Kiyoshi Shibata 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

Is anyone running Koha on SuSE? I would like to try Koha but our standard Linux is SuSE. I saw a couple of posting about the problem of installing Koha on SuSE on the list archive. I would like to know if Koha runs fine on SuSE.

2.2.8 & mysql-5
by Jason Ronallo 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

I don't see anything about mysql-5 in the release notes for 2.2.8. Are known problems with mysql-5 fixed in the 2.2.8 release? What's the current status? There was talk on the list a couple weeks ago that 2.2.8 may fix these problems, but I'm looking for some confirmation that the fixes made it into 2.2.8 before proceeding with an upgrade from 2.2.7. I had to install Etch on this machine and currently use apt-pinning to keep mysql-4.1. --Jason

Re: [Koha] KOHA httpd.conf problems]

Thanks Chris. Here's what my "export -p" shows: declare -x PERL5LIB="/home/site2/koha/intranet/modules". And thank you because I had inserted a symbolic link for the first site because SetEnv wasn't working. I thought I'd resolved that issue and removed the link. And with the link removed now, Site 1 fails too. So for some reason, SetEnv is not properly working, correct? Would this be a permissions error? ExecCGI or other option needed? The user is owner of the cgi-bin and its files. I have found a way to work around this in Site2: by setting "use C4::Context;" to "use C4::Context("/etc/koha-site2.conf");", or adding that "use" statement to the perl files that don't have it. If you can point me in the proper direction on getting my SetEnv functions to properly work, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks for the good catch!

KOHA httpd.conf problems
by Dan Foote - DTS 11 Mar '07

11 Mar '07

I continue to have problems attempting to get two instances of KOHA running on the same server. Each site has its own IP address and ports. Each has its own set of files, including the .conf file. Regardless of what I do, I cannot direct traffic to the second .conf file--errors continue to show "read_config_file(/etc/koha.conf)" instead of the /etc/koha-site2.conf file that's set in the httpd.conf Includes. I've tried adding both an "Alias" and "ScriptAlias" to the koha-httpd-site2.conf file that said: /etc/koha.conf /etc/koha-site2.conf What I've also determined is that the Context.pm file that's being read by BOTH configurations is the one in the koha-httpd.conf file (Site 1). By making the good sites (Site 1) Context.pm file unavailable, I get a totally different set of errors. I've set my "export" command to be totally "site2" directed: no change. My site2 has a modified Context.pm file, yet it never gets read--only the Context.pm of Site 1 gets read. Any thoughts and/or suggestions? Errors and httpd include configs are below. ==================================================== Errors from /var/log/koha-site2-log/koha-error_log read_config_file(/etc/koha.conf) returned undef at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/C4/Context.pm line 229. read_config_file(/etc/koha.conf) returned undef at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/C4/Context.pm line 229. read_config_file(/etc/koha.conf) returned undef at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/C4/Context.pm line 229.

overlay records
by Jason Ronallo 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

I'd like to export a small set of records from Koha, edit them, and then overlay over the old records. Does bulkmarcimport.pl allow me to do this? How does the "delete" flag work? What does it match on? Is it possible to do this with just a small set of records? Is there some other way to overlay some records after editing outside of Koha? I'm using 2.2.7 but in the next week hope to upgrade to the 2.2.8 bugfix release. On a similar subject, I'm often annoyed at having to wait for the MARC editor to load and then clicking on multiple tabs to edit all the fields I want. It's too slow for quickly upgrading records or doing batches, so I do my editing, including adding items, outside of Koha and then use bulkmarcimport. I'd much prefer editing a record in something like MARCMaker format, except for maybe the fixed fields, which could be presented similar to how OCLC displays them. Would it be possible to create a simpler MARC editor for Koha that is just a record in MARCMaker format in an text input field? I'm just learning Perl, but maybe some day I'll tackle this feature. --Jason

how to add a new copy of a field when creating a biblio
by Auburn Public Library 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to add a second copy of a field when creating a new biblio? For example, when you want to enter both the 10 and 13 digit versions of the ISBN, you need to duplicate the 020 field. Or when you want to add additional subject headings, you need to duplicate the 650 field with all its subfields. How can you do that in koha? Also, I don't use most of the item fields on a regular basis, and would like to hide them to make creating items easier. I tried setting the 'hidden' attribute on those fields to 7 and 8, but that didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Kim Auburn Public Library auburnpl(a)iowatelecom.net

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
