I have Koha v.2.2.4 on Windows XP. I extracted the file using power Archive and copied and renamed the extracted folder koha-2.2.5 to koha225 under c:\usr\koha225, then I change my koha.conf as follows: database=<database_name> hostname=localhost user=koha pass=koha intranetdir=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-cgi opacdir=c:\usr\koha225\opac-cgi kohaversion=2.2.5 opachtdocs=c:\usr\koha225\opac-html\opac-tmpl intrahtdocs=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-html\intranet-tmpl includes=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-html\intranet-tmpl\npl\en\includes But when i try to access koha, I encountered an error message: Premature end of script headers: mainpage.pl Error 500.

Hi everyone. This is Aquil from India I am using koha window version.The server information is as follows: Koha version 2.2.4 OS version Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] Perl version5.008007 MySQL versionmysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.26, for Win32 (ia32)Apache version. First thing i want to know is, Can I include a field "Accession no."in Biblio. There is no as such category. On the basis of that accession no. which is unique for each document, Can I generate barcodes. But as koha support 11 digits barcodes only or 9 digit, but at present I have only 500 collection in the library, and accession is statrting from 1, 2, 3, 4..................500.. So will my present software version support for barcode gerating or how can I do it? Second thing I want to know is how Can I update my present version of software?

Upgrading Koha 2.2.4b (Windows) to Koha 2.2.5 release (windows)
by Amzari Abu Bakar 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

I have try downloads Koha ver2.2.5 recently. I managed to extract the files using power Archive (http://www.gzip.org/) in windows. Since no database structucture changes in this release, I just copied and rename extracted folder koha-2.2.5 to C:\usr\koha225. Leaving out version 2.2.4 in C:\usr\koha224. Then I change my koha.conf (in C:\etc\) as follows: database=<database_name> hostname=localhost user=koha pass=koha intranetdir=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-cgi opacdir=c:\usr\koha225\opac-cgi kohaversion=2.2.5 opachtdocs=c:\usr\koha225\opac-html\opac-tmpl intrahtdocs=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-html\intranet-tmpl includes=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-html\intranet-tmpl\npl\en\includes you can set your <database_name> to your current Koha Database ver2.2.4. So, far I haven't face any problems yet...

Re:Patron/Member management using npl theme/templates
by Amzari Abu Bakar 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

hi everyone, Just response a little bit on below msg. I am also using npl templates too, which in my opinion is more suitable in academic library environment. apologize if my english is not good.. :) Some of academic libraries set other libraries as an "Institutional" as one body. Usually this are used as an account for Inter Library Loan. when other libraries request for an ILL, librarians will 'charge'/check out the materials using Institutional accounts. It is good to have Institutional Account, as Library can set it's circulation policy regarding on ILL. While "External Borrowers" from outside organization can be categorized as Individual Borrowers or Institutional (up to you), which we can set it's circulation policy by adding new category as usual under "Patron Category Administration." Hope this info can assist you. > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2006 13:25:29 +1100 > From: Adam Thick <adam.thick(a)strategicdata.com.au> > Subject: [Koha] Patron/Member management using npl > theme/templates > To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > Message-ID: <43CB0419.10903(a)strategicdata.com.au> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; > format=flowed > > Hi everyone, > before I begin hacking my npl theme templates to > fix a few problems > I'm experiencing in the patron management section I > was wondering if > anyone else had come up against the following items > or had fixed them, > or am I missing something about the function of the > patron management > section? > > Adding a new institution takes me to the patron > screen with a few > missing items ( First Name, Second Name, etc... ) > which are replaced > with Institution Name.

Patron/Member management using npl theme/templates
by Adam Thick 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi everyone, before I begin hacking my npl theme templates to fix a few problems I'm experiencing in the patron management section I was wondering if anyone else had come up against the following items or had fixed them, or am I missing something about the function of the patron management section? Adding a new institution takes me to the patron screen with a few missing items ( First Name, Second Name, etc... ) which are replaced with Institution Name. I enter the required info and then hit 'Add This Patron', I'm then taken to a screen which is for adding new institutions. So I fill in the information there too... What I'm wondering is which one is the right one to enter info into? is this a bug? The default templates do not reflect this functionality so I'm inclined to think it is. Does anyone else use the npl templates? They look nice, and I'm happy to edit the patron templates if something is a miss here, but if someone else has a fix already I'm also happy to remain lazy. It is also a bit confusing because institutional membership is reliant on creating the category 'Institution' and uses 'I' on creation of a member to figure out if it's a new member or institution... now wierd things happen if I create a borrower category called 'Individual' ;o). Cheers for any assistance, Adam Thick. -- Adam Thick Strategic Data Pty Ltd Ph : +61 (3) 9348-2013 Fax: +61 (3) 9348-2015 Mob: 0404 032 763 Email: Adam.Thick(a)StrategicData.com.au Web: http://www.StrategicData.com.au/ Post: P.O.

z3950 YAZ Toolkit with debian sarge installation
by Amzari Abu Bakar 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

Haven't read email recently due to Hajj fiest. Additional info that might help, For debian woody installation, you might add the following lines in apt-get source files. > # for Yaz Toolkit > deb http://www.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/woody released > deb-src http://www.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/woody but for sarge installation, I change to deb http://www.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge deb-src http://www.indexdata.dk/debian indexdata/sarge It work find for me as z3950 seem to be working with the right version of YAZ Toolkit.(I have noticed that YAZ Toolkit version for sarge is different from woody). For UBUNTU installation, I haven't try it yet, since haven't have much time. In my opinion, UBUNTU origin from debian. Thus, it will not very much difference: i.e:you may try using Debian installation guidelines, install PERL, mysql, apache and YAZ Toolkit for debian distro. Hope this info can assist you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
