Install & Userguide - Spanish Documentation
by Luis M. Gallardo D. 30 Nov '06

30 Nov '06

Hi Koha community, I'm working on a project for a university here in my country using Koha. Checking the mail list and the docs available I realized there's not Spanish documentation for installation or the Koha's user manual. Due to the documentation is a key factor in this project, we decided to make an installation manual based on the "Installing Koha (2.4) on Debian" sarge by Joshua Ferraro, but with some modifications because we are using Ubuntu as our operation system. This document is already done. On the other hand, we are translating an adapting the "Users Guide (partial)" by Stephen Hedges, Joshua Ferraro and other contributors. This document is in progress. We are interested in sharing both documents to the Koha community. We would like to know how to publish them, and if we have to follow a specific format, etc. Luis Gallardo --------------------------------- LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

koha 2.2.7 and the new z3950
by T & J Kotula 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Hi, I have installed the latest 2.2.7 a couple of days ago and started playing with the new z3950 client. It works well with a couple of exceptions: 1. The "search on" window displays all configured z3950 servers, but has all the boxes checked - ignoring "Checked" field from the z3950servers.pl. It would be nice if it either checked only the ones that have "Checked"=1 flag or remembered the last user choice. 2. It seems that any/some timeout causes it to generate an "internal server error". This is particularily true when searching for a title and not ISBN. I had a look at koha-error_log which has the following: z3950.loc.gov error @attr 1=4 @attr 4=1 "simple": Timeout (10007), referer ... /search.pl?bibid=&title=simple%20faith Premature end of script headers: search.pl, referer ... /search.pl?bibid=&title=simple%20faith Thanks tomasz kotula

Updating issueing rules?
by Marty Jongepier 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Hi all, I am working with Koha 2.2.6 on Debian, it all works fine, however, I had to change the issueing rules, I modified the maximum number of items a patron can take out for certain itemtypes, but it seems to make no difference whatsoever. Is there anything else I have to do besides saving my changes on the issueing rules page? Any help will be appreciated, Thanks, Marty J.

Slightly odd install/upgrade request
by Nigel Titley 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Folks, I find myself in a slightly odd position. Up until a couple of months ago I was running Koha 1.2.3 very satisfactorily. At that point I rebuilt the box it was running on and installed Ubuntu. Koha wasn't too high on my urgency list (getting my ecommerce site back was rather more urgent). However, I had taken a database dump so thought I could easily rebuild Koha when I had the time. My game plan was going to be to re-install 1.2.3 from scratch, overwrite the database with my saved copy, and then progress up through Koha releases until I got to the current one. I sat down last night to start the process and found, horror!, that koha 1.2.3 is no longer available for download, so my game plan was scuppered. As an experiment, I tried installing 2.2.6 with the existing database in place, and got a number of complaints from the installation and a general feeling that things hadn't gone properly. I now know about the mysql4/5 problem, and will rewind the database server to mysql4 before I start again, but can someone give me an idea of how I should proceed? Have there been database changes between 1.2.3 and 2.2.6? How should I get my 1.2.3 data into a new install of 2.2.6? Just a general hint or two would be helpful. I'm reasonably competent with databases, perl and unix cli. Help! Nigel

What is my login to the web OPAC and to the staff interface?
by oren maurer 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hallo all. Finally I have succeeded to install Koha. on my Debian laptop, for testing. Actually I upgraded to the new version (2.2.7) from 2.2.6, which I totally deleted by now. But what's now? I want to login to the web OPAC and to the staff interface - but I have no idea what the user/pass are. Apologies for the quite newbie question – but I didn't find a clue for this in the documentation or in the installation scripts. Thanks Oren -- ________________________________ Oren Maurer http://www.meorero.org.il _______________________________

ZOOM module in Mac OS X
by Gignac, Jason (HAS-SAT) 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Hi all! I'm a desktop support Mac specialist for my company (so forgive my library ignorance!), and I'm trying to help my librarians here set up a Koha system for the corporate library/archive. I'm using a Powermac G4 running OS 10.4.8, as my prototype box, but I'm running into a wall - Its telling my I need to install the ZOOM perl mod, to install the system. However, CPAN will not install this module on my Mac! I am getting an error that reads: Unable to call script: yaz-config I know that the Z3950 module doesn't work on OS X, and it looks like this is dependent on that module, but I was under the understanding that I could choose not to use this module, if I so pleased. Any thoughts? Thanks all! -- Jason Gignac Macintosh Specialist, ITRC Harcourt Assessment 19500 Bulverde Road San Antonio, TX 78259-3701 (210) 339-8528 Phone (210) 339-8536 Fax HarcourtAssessment.com
