Book info in database
by Christoffer Landtman 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

I tried to decipher the koha.mysql file in search of the table(s) containing the book information, however, not succeeding as wished. As such I'm asking if someone could enlighten me on this matter? The question is in which table(s) is the book-information stored. By looking at the size of the different tables i could conclude that Koha does not implement all MARC-fileds e.g. when imoprting from MARC. Correct me if im wrong...=) Well, any help is appreciated, since it for me is vital information. Thanks in advance! -- Christoffer Landtman lanttis(a)homeharmony.fi www.homeharmony.fi

Re: [Koha] MARC import trouble
by Stephen Hedges 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

On April 11, Paul Poulain answered a question from Joshua Ferraro about importing MARC records in 1.9.x: > - the script to migrate from a previous ILS is > still to be done. Do we have any projected date for when this will be completed? We'd like very much to start testing Koha with our data, but we're not eager to re-catalogue 200,000+ items! If the MARC import utility is going to be delayed for very long, then we'll have to devise some other work-around to get our MARC data into 1.9.x. Has anyone else found a way to move their MARC data into Koha? (For instance, how did Dombes Abbey do it?) Stephen Hedges Nelsonville Public Library

Intranet Security
by Joshua Ferraro 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

I have been thinking about the current intranet security setup whereby any staff member can access any part of the intranet. Is this the policy in the libraries that are currently using Koha? It may be important to some of the larger systems (where more than a dozen people are using the intranet) to increase the levels of password protection. My concern is less of a control issues and more of an "oops I just deleted our main branch" issue. Even adding one more layer by seperating the admin from the normal staff functions might be useful. Even better, maybe users could be added and given "permission" to access parts of the intranet. What does everyone think? Joshua

hi Mohamed, last weekend i installed Mandrake 9.0 and Koha 1.9.2, so a different version, but i think the same things will apply. the installer script for 1.9.2 set up virtual hosting entries in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. in the default Mandrake apache configuration, the cgi scripts won't execute since the Koha installer needs to put the cgi-scripts in it's own directory structure. i added the directory section in the opac virtual host section after the line ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/ <Directory /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> in the intranet virtual host section after the line ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "/usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/" <Directory /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin> AllowOverride None Options ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> then you need to apache. (mandrake 9.0 has apachectl in the default path so you can just type apachectl at a command prompt) # apachectl configtest (which should say OK) # apachectl graceful and at that point the cgi scripts are authorized to run. -ron On Thu, 17 Apr 2003, Mohamed Amin wrote: > Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 15:45:11 +0000 > From: Mohamed Amin <abo_amin(a)hotmail.com> > To: chris(a)katipo.co.nz > Subject: [Koha] Internal server error > > <html><div style='background-color:'>Hi I've installed Koha 1.2.3 on Linux Mandrake , Mysql , Perl5.8, and it's installed successfully . but it does not work , the browser gives me an error >  said " Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Open Source or Free Software?
by Joshua Ferraro 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

Hi All: Koha is often referred to as an "open source" project (definition at http://www.opensource.org/osd.html. Do we also characterize it as "free software" (definition at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html)? I know that in practice, nearly all software meeting one definition also meets the other, I was just wondering what everyone thinks about the distinction. To my mind, there are advantages to both terms. "Open source" is more widely known (at least around here) and expresses the "openness" of the code. "Free software" (as in free speech) comes closer to the library concept of free access to information; it also (conveniently) covers the monetary aspect of things (after all, the software is available at no cost).
