Something new with bulkmarcimport.pl
by Andro Gagne 06 Jan '06

06 Jan '06

Messrs. Vahau, Laurent, and Hedges, Thanks again for your assistance with my bulkmarcimport.pl and @INC issue. With your help, I was able to import a bunch of MARC21 records using bulkmarcimport.pl. Unfortunately, I also saw a large number of error messages that make me suspect that a large number of the records were not imported. Most of the error messages read like this: "DBD::mysql::db do failed: Access denied for user: 'myuserid@localhost' to database 'libcat' at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Biblio.pm line 331." A few of the error messages were exactly the same as the one above, except that the Biblio.pm line cited was 426. The last line of bulkmarcimport.pl's screen output was: "1572 MARC record done in 731.838590145111 seconds." When I searched for some of the records using either the OPAC user interface or the librarian interface, a bunch of them clearly had been imported. I read the Biblio.pm code pertaining to the code lines cited, but I'm not yet familiar enough with the Koha code to figure out what went wrong. I also wasn't able to figure out a way to determine how many records there now are in the OPAC. ("*" apparently cannot be used to search for all possible values in a field.) Can you tell me what the error messages cited above were trying to tell me? Does "1572 MARC record done in 731.838590145111 seconds" mean that 1,572 records actually were imported into the OPAC database? Is there a way I can quickly double check how many records there are in the OPAC? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Best regards, Andro P. Gagné P.O. Box 715 Canandaigua, NY 14424

Thank you for your helpful reply. I understand that the setting of these environment variables is necessary. That makes sense to me, and I don't have any problem with it. What I don't understand is why Mr. Jongepier and I are having this problem in the first place. Either Koha is programmed to set these variables on its own when it is started up, or it isn't. If it is supposed to set these variables when being started, why is it not doing so? I believe I followed the installation instructions very faithfully, so I have reason to expect that Koha will start up properly and set the variables it needs to be set. If Koha is not programmed to set these variables on its own when it is started up, clearly it is my responsibility to set these variables. But if the latter is the case, why didn't the installation instructions tell me this and tell me how the variable setting needs to be done so that Koha's environment variables are set up properly when Koha is started up? (I am referring to the installation instructions that were available at www.kohadocs.org last June.) All I'm trying to do is to understand where the real problem lies so that, hopefully, I can fix the real problem--especially if I am the one who caused the problem in some way--rather than applying what seems like a Band-Aid and not understanding where things went wrong. The Band-Aid approach probably will work for a while, but it is likely not to be as good a fix as fixing the underlying problem, especially as Koha gets upgraded over time. I really want to show the museum--and other organizations that cannot afford integrated library systems that have prices in the 5- or 6-figure range--that Koha can do the job they need to be done. If you can help me understand where the underlying problem is in regard to setting environment variables for Koha, I will appreciate it very much. I would be glad to send any information needed about how I installed Koha to solve this issue. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Andro P. Gagné P.O. Box 715 Canandaigua, NY 14424

I guess I didn't expect bulkmarcimport.pl to have different set-up requirements than Koha does. I saw it as being a part of Koha. I will try the advice I've been given by Mr. Vahau, Mr. Laurent, and yourself and see how things go. Many thanks to all three of you. Best regards, Andro P. Gagné P.O. Box 715 Canandaigua, NY 14424

I need to add a path to @INC for KOHA, how?
by Marty Jongepier 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi all, I am in the process of installing KOHA on a Debian Sarge system, and I am kind of stuck. I need to add the path /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4 to @INC, perl complians that it cannot find this path, and rightly so, because it is not in @INC I found http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/05/14/mod_perl.html?page=2, with some helpful information, but it does not solve my problem, I keep getting errors. Maybe I missed something? (Like when I found out you need SetEnvIf in Debian instead of SetEnv) I know hardly anything about perl, so please be patient (and descriptive) and if someone can show some examples it would be most welcome... Thanks! Marty Jongepier
