Live CD passwords
by Brett Holcomb 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

I downloaded and burned the Live CD but are there passwords required to get into the admin part of Koha. Where do I find them. There is no readme on the CD, the mail list has one post asking the same question - with no answer and searching shows nothing. Thanks. Brett I.

Database problems with Koha2.2
by T & J Kotula 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi, I seem to have a problem with the Koha database. When I search (via Catalogue->Search) for a word say 'word', I get a listing of books with the title, author, publisher, year, number of pages, etc, etc, exactly the way I would have expected. However when I click on any of these titles, MARCdetail.pl does not bring **any** information, the page is simply blank - there are no tabs (0, 1, 2 etc) on the left-hand side, except the 'items' one, which is empty as well. When I click on 'Normal', which runs detail.pl, I get all the info I would have expected. When I click on 'Edit biblio', I get all the tabs, and all the MARC fields the way I have set up, except **all** fields are blank. I suspect something funny went with the database, because my very very old database backup works just fine. Upgrading from koha 2.2.1 to koha 2.2.5 had no effect. I'm running RH8. I would really appreciate any pointers, things to try, to check etc. Thanking you in advance. tomasz kotula.

translator script (tmpl_process3.pl) error - modifying @INC ?
by Stefan Gesing 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hello list, Following the translation-howto http://www.kohadocs. org/KOHAtranslation/translation.html, I tried to execute the script in /home/koha-2.2.5/scripts/misc/translator to receive the following message: keuch@debian:~/koha-2.2.5/scripts/misc/translator$ . /tmpl_process3.pl --help Can't locate Locale/PO.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./tmpl_process3.pl line 16. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./tmpl_process3.pl line 16. has anyone experienced this before? couldn't find much in the archive. does it mean i need to add a path to @INC? How do I do that? thanks in advance and nice greetings, Stefan

German translation of koha?
by Stefan Gesing 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi there, I was just wondering if there are some german koha users on the list. I couldn't reach the german mailing list, so thought I'd ask here on this list. I have found a thread in the archive pointing at two .zip files said to be containing the intranet and opac templates, but those links were outdated, so if anyone is actually trying to translate koha into german, i am willing to help. Otherwise i will see how i can get to it myself, using the translation-manual. Greetings, MfG, Stefan

I've made a new linux-installation (-this solution very likely only works at home...-) , then, when installing koha, i chose the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file, not the httpd.conf. Opened the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and inserted: Include /etc/koha-httpd.conf right under the already existing line that says Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf and then into the /etc/apache2/ports.conf I inserted Listen 8080 Listen 80 hope I'm not boring you ;-), I'm sure somewhere in the documentation these actions are precisely described, but maybe this is of help to someone, someday. Greets, Stefan

installation finished but koha does not appear on my browser
by Stefan Gesing 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

Hello, i finally went through the koha installer.pl without any trouble, but now i can't see what to do next. I told Mozilla the following: http://localhost:80/opac http://localhost:8080/intranet the same without '80' or '8080', which was very succesful when i had koha installed on windowsxp and http://usr/local/koha/cgi-bin/opac/mainpage.pl (the path may not be quite exact, but you probably get the idea) and i tried to simply open the mainpage.pl files directly with mozilla. Mozilla then asks me which program it should use to open the .pl file... after doing some research in the mailinglist-archives, i guess it may be a problem with the paths, hosts or similar, set in the .conf files. my etc/koha.conf reads as follows database=Koha hostname=localhost user=kohaadmin pass=hidden intranetdir=/usr/local/koha/intranet opacdir=/usr/local/koha/opac kohalogdir=/usr/local/koha/log kohaversion=2.2.5 httpduser=keuch intrahtdocs=/usr/local/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl opachtdocs=/usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl koha.httpd.conf: # Koha 2.2 Apache Virtual Host Config File # # Please include this file in your apache configuration. # The best way to do that depends on your site setup. # Some like an Include adding to /etc/apache/httpd.conf # and some prefer a symlink to this file from some dir. # Please refer to your system manuals. # Ports to listen to for Koha # uncomment these if they aren't already in main httpd.conf # #Listen 8080 # NameVirtualHost is used by one of the optional configurations detailed below # Please make sure this line is correct before uncommenting. # See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/ for some guides. #NameVirtualHost 11.22.33.44 # KOHA's OPAC Configuration <VirtualHost Rurik:80> ServerAdmin c(a)d.c DocumentRoot /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs ServerName Rurik ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/ Redirect permanent index.html http://Rurik:80/cgi-bin/koha/opac- main.pl ErrorLog /usr/local/koha/log/opac-error_log TransferLog /usr/local/koha/log/opac-access_log SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules" SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha.conf" </VirtualHost> # KOHA's INTRANET Configuration <VirtualHost Rurik:8080> ServerAdmin c(a)d.c DocumentRoot /usr/local/koha/intranet/htdocs ServerName Rurik ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "/usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/" Redirect permanent index.html http://Rurik:8080/cgi- bin/koha/mainpage.pl ErrorLog /usr/local/koha/log/koha-error_log TransferLog /usr/local/koha/log/koha-access_log SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules" SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha.conf" </VirtualHost> # If you want to use name based Virtual Hosting: # 1. remove the two Listen lines # 2. replace Rurik:80 wih your.opac.domain.name # 3. replace ServerName Rurik wih ServerName your.opac.domain.name # 4. replace Rurik:8080 wih your intranet domain name # 5. replace ServerName Rurik wih ServerName your.intranet.domain. name # # If you want to use NameVirtualHost'ing (using two names on one ip address): # 1. Follow steps 1-5 above # 2. Uncomment the NameVirtualHost line and set the correct ip address I hope this is a simple problem and someone can tell me what to do, i am grateful in advance. I use debian 3.1 sarge, and i can remeber that during the debian setup i encountered a message saying "your dhcp-network can't be autoconfigured" and me choosing "leave it unconfigured" from some options. Maybe a problem here? Greetings, Stefan Gesing
