Hi, We are trying to install Koha on windows platform. We have the following questions 1) Is there windows installer for Koha 2.2.2 version? 2) Does Koha supports unicode characters? If it supports, how should we tune Koha to support unicode characters? Harinarayana University of Mysore Mysore. India.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I know that Koha was designed to work on Linux but only have Windows to test. My webmaster don't like to give me rights to install the required perl modules to install koha. I was help to test phpmylibrary (phpmylibrary.org) in my windows 98 web server without cgiwin, Test MARCSEARCH that was designed to run on UNIX without cgiwin and several other systems designed to work in UNIX/LINUX with no problems. Actually I'm testing KOHA 2.0 with the same problems/bugs founded by many Linux users, then it's posible to run KOHA in windows like in Linux (except Z39). Saludos, LIC.

To: Dana Huff nad KohaList Kudos for your efforts to get Koha to work on MS I think MS support in the short term is nominally worthwhile. I think a new crop of librarains will emerge who are comfortable with digital technologies and will demand operating systems which enhance equity of access and at the same time don't conceal common knowledge. As a librarian can you imagine buying a book for your library which would require the patron to buy a reader to be able to view it? Sadly, most librarians do not see the connection with the above and proprietary software. I recommend you build your library on gnu/linux, on your test box. Show the result to the higher ups and be patient.. Nothing will obstruct an idea whose time has come. re-v --- koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz wrote: > Send Koha mailing list submissions to > koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, > visit > http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha > or, via email, send a message with subject or body > 'help' to > koha-request(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > > You can reach the person managing the list at > koha-admin(a)lists.katipo.co.nz > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it > is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Koha digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Koha 2.20 install (French language in opac)
by Serge Renaux 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

Hi, I just install Koha 2.2.0. First installer step works well. Second step, i retrieve my database (our production Koha server works in 1.9.3) I needed to delete original Koha mysql database before inserting my backup (mysql dump format) Third Step, i use "/usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/updater/updatedatabase" script. All works fine except for this line "Creating index on issuing rules DBD::mysql::db do failed: Duplicate entry 'PE-0001' for key 1 at intranet/scripts/updater/updatedatabase line 1259. Modifying marc_word (concat on tag and subfield for better perfs)" I can send all the transcript is this can help I am testing it, i get some problems. The French language is set the "system preferences" > opaclanguages = fr But i can not see the OPAC in French ??? I changed opacthemes to default instead our local templates but it did not change the problem. Regards Serge -- Serge Renaux Groupe ESIEE / CCI Paris EMail:s.renaux@esiee.fr Tel:(33)1.45.92.67.46

POSIX error in Windows98SE/XP !!!
by Dana Huff 14 Jan '05

14 Jan '05

What?! The install/upgrade script is suppose to work in Windows? No Way!! You know, I have to admit, I didn't file an error report because, frankly, I didn't think it was appropriate. I usually like to ask a question or two in the lists to see if I've found an error or if it's just my configuration or some dumb mistake I have made. But, previously when I asked about a page not displaying correctly in IE, I received replies like, "That's not a bug, it's a feature!", yuck, yuck, yuck. Maybe I'm way off base but I would have been very surprised if the Unix/Linux designed install script could ever work on Windows without a complete re-write. You first have to install something like Cygwin to make Windows look like Unix and then you still run into problems with commands that are not implemented, incompatible file names, etc. I assumed Windows users were simply expected to wait until a Windows Installer package was built by someone like Rob Weir. Okay, sorry for being hyper-critical. I would be glad to assist in debugging the install script for Windows but I'll have to go back and review the problems I had. Seriously, there were so many that I gave up on the script altogether. Let me know how I can help. I have a test machine that I can dedicate to this and a small database that is working under 2.0.0. Thanks, Dana Huff
