RE: [Koha] Cleaning characters from isbn data

Noth, Cataloging standards allow the inclusion of the qualifiers at the end of the 020 field. It allows a person to distinguish between paperback, hard cover, and all the other variations that would produce a different ISBN. Koha should not be adding the dashes back into the ISBN. For one thing, it does not know where to put them. An ISBN search should be exact match with right truncation. That way the descriptive text can stay and still not mess up a search.

addbiblio problem (again)
by sapto siswoyo 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hallo koha experts, The addbiblio problem haven't done yet. I've tried what Michele has suggested to download the latest Perl (R1 & R4) module provided by Rob. I've installed it into my box. Then I switch my browser from IE to Mozilla. The result is better. I can see the MARC records, ready to be filled up. But, once again, when I click on tab numbers other than 0. It works nothing, but the done remark on left below the page. In other words, I still can't add any biblio into koha on my computer. Please, tell me what I am supposed to do. Where can I see the koha error logs? Many thanks again for your attention. Regards, Sapto --------------------------------- We won't tell.

Installing Mysql 4 on Fedora Core 6 or getting Mysql 5 to work with Koha
by Krsnendu dasa 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Please help. I have been stuck for a long time and really want to get koha going on my Fedora Core 6 system. How do I install Mysql 4? I went to rpm webite and downloaded the rpm, but it complained about dependencies. Do I just use --nodeps and hope or what? It seems that openssl is what is holding things up the dependencies are libssl.so.0.5 and libcrypto.so.0.5 Alternatively, how can I get Koha going with mysql 5? Will there be a new version soon with this compatability? Please help. School is starting soon and I want to get this rolling. Thanks. Krsnendu dasa

Apache Default Page
by Lawrence Bean 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

I posted this problem to the list last May, and someone *must* have helped me solve it because I had this working for the last nine months. I had to migrate to new hardware and the same puzzle has resurfaced. I checked the archives, but cannot find the helpful reply anywhere so I assume the respondent must have re'd me only. I simply cannot remember what the fix was, so I post it again in hopes the answer may appear once more. ---------- Hello folks. I just successfully finished setting up KoHa on a Macintosh running 10.4 Tiger. When at the koha computer, I open a web page and type http://localhost and up pops the opac main page just like it should. However, accessing from a remote machine with http://172.16.1.11 brings up the Apache default page. To test locally, I went to the koha machine and double-checked the IP address, which is correctly 172.16.1.11, then tried http://172.16.1.11 right at the koha machine, and up came the Apache default page. Switching to the loopback IP, though, http://127.0.0.1 brings up KoHa. I even tried: http://172.16.1.11/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl at the koha machine and got the "Not Found" response. So, it seems there is a setting in Apache that I missed. Any help, or pointing me in the right direction to help myself, would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Koha] Can't locate Locale/PO.pm
by Rob Weir 31 Jan '07

Hi Arnab, I think you need the Locale-PO module. If your box has an internet connection, it should work to open a command prompt window and type: ppm install Locale-PO I will add this module to my windows install package in the near future.

Accessing intranet page over network (again)
by Peter Scott 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi Folks, I'm still having an issue on this :( I have a Ubuntu 6.06 server installation, and all my clients are W2K (network server is W2003 server, providing DNS, using hosts file on clients for testing) I followed the install instructions for Koha on Debian (supplimented by the installing koha on ubuntu notes) from the doc site. The instructions say "install Apache 2.2" and give the command "apt-get install apache2" to perform this. I have noticed (now) that this has installed apache 2.0.55, rather than 2.2. Is this release OK or do I really need apache 2.2? Is there anyone else out there running Koha on Ubuntu? I wouls like to talk to other users on this platform to discuss issues! I have tried all the permutations I can think of in the koha-httpd.conf, ports.conf and httpd.conf on the server and in the hosts file on the client, and still can't get the intranet page to open. Interestingly, I installed Koha on my W2K pc, so we could evaluate the package - with the intention of putting up on Linux if we decided to use koha - and had no problems getting the intranet page to open across the network.

Koha newbie
by Jacqueline Barry 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hello everyone. I am a Koha newbie thinking about implementing Koha 2.2.7 in a small (about 2000, one room) special collections library. Our current interface is horrible but luckily, all our collection/catalog information can be exported to Excel. However, upon looking into Koha, I see that it uses MySQL, does this mean we would have to re-enter the entire collection??? Does anyone have any experience transferring from another ILS to Koha? Any input would be extremely helpful!! Thank you! -Jackie -- Jacqueline Barry jacqueline.barry(a)gmail.com
