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 05 Mar '07

05 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 02 Mar '07

02 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.

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!"
