Dear Koha Folks: I am in the process of setting up Koha for our school library. I used the install.pl script, and it completed, indicating that all went well. However, when I open a web browser and try to connect to http://192.168.0.4:8080/ OR :80/, I receive the message "The connection was refused". Apache is up and running , and the Koha Virtual Servers are both there. I am trying to troubleshoot the situation. Some tidbits of info-- 1) I installed the YAZ client, and all seemed to go well, with one exception: the YAZ client looked for libhistory.so.4 and Mandrake 8.2 (my system) has libhistory.so.4.1 so I needed to use "force". Seemed to go OK though. 2) The perl modules seemed to install fine. 3) I tried restarting Apache, as well as shutting down and starting up again. no change. 4) I have DHCP assigning the library computer the IP 192.168.0.4 5) Initially, I have set all the access permissions for mySQL, Apache, and Koha to root, planning to add other users after I get things operational. Any ideas where I might begin? Thanks! Robert Maynord

Guten Tag, I've started a mailing list for german language discussion of german installation discussions of Koha. you can subscribe by sending an email to <koha-subscribe(a)de.koha.org> and following the instructions that are returned. As things progress to the point that a german website for koha is needed (or wanted) we can get that running as well. danke, -pate

ugrading from 1.2.3rc4 to rc10 problems

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 whiltz attempting to upgrade from 1.23.rc4 to rc10 I ran into the following problems: Checking perl modules ... Use of uninitialized value in hash element at Install.pm line 272, <STDIN> line 2. The Net::Z3950 module is missing. This module is necessary if you want to use Koha's Z39.50 client to download bibliographic records from other libraries.

Re: [Koha] Problem with koha-1.2.3RC10

Hi Steve, thanks for your mail, in the meanwhile I found the reason and fixed it, seemed to be a formatting problem in koha/intranet/htdocs/includes/templates/default/catalogue/detail-opac.cdiff in line 67. After concatenating three lines, the title links do work. Please see attached context diff. Presumably I should post it to koha-devel?

Koha Press Release
by Pat Eyler 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

Nelsonville Public Library Chooses Open Source Aug 26, 2002 The Nelsonville Public Library will migrate its existing server to the open source Koha library system and will contribute to the further development of the Koha project. Nelsonville, OH, Aug 26, 2002 -- "We're going to move our library services onto Open Source platforms, culminating with the conversion of our existing server system to Koha." says Stephen Hedges of the Nelsonville Public Library (NPL). "We want to use the Internet to offer some cutting edge information services to our library patrons, but we realized that this would require us to have control of our automation and database software. We needed the freedom to change things, to change the code if necessary, because the types of things we want to do are not going to appear in commercial library software for years." Koha, being open source, provided the access that NPL required and the level of stability and functionality that they needed. NPL has committed to help support the development of Koha by funding some of the work on three specific projects. This support is seen as a wise investment, NPL expects to save as much money per year as they initially invest in Koha. More importantly, they will be able to offer what they consider to be "the best online services available anywhere in the world." "NPL's involvement is a real validation of our model." says Pat Eyler, Kaitiaki (manager) of the Koha project. "We've got a solid base system. As people want to add onto it, they can make a small investment to fund the work (far less than they would for a comparable closed source solution) and everyone will benefit. I hope that we'll see other libraries pitching in too." About the Nelsonville Public Library: NPL provides services to approximately 36,000 active borrowers through seven branches. Their collection includes over 250,000 items. For more information about the NPL, please see www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us About Koha: The Koha project started in 1999 in New Zealand when the Horowhenua Library Trust commissioned Katipo Communications to write a new library system for them. The system went live in 2000, and was released as Free Software during that year. Since then it has been installed in numerous libraries and has sprouted an active developer community that encompasses more than nine countries on four continents.

Problem with koha-1.2.3RC10
by Dr. Ralf Allrutz 25 Aug '02

25 Aug '02

Dear *, perhaps someone can tell me the solution: I just installed koha-1.2.3RC10 on a SuSE-8.0 -Linux-Box with the sample data. Everything seems fine so far. But when accessing OPAC having searched and now displaying the title list, I get the following message when I try to follow a title link: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster(a)allrutz-hofer.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. So the server error log (opac-error_log) shows: [Sun Aug 25 17:31:38 2002] [error] [client 192.168.1.254] File does not exist: /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs/images/mouseover-mysettings.gif [Sun Aug 25 17:31:39 2002] [error] [client 192.168.1.254] attempt to invoke directory as script: /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin HTML::Template->new() : Syntax error in <TMPL_*> tag at /usr/local/koha/intranet/htdocs/includes/templates/default/catalogue/detail-opac.tmpl : 67. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/HTML/Template.pm line 2154.

Nearly installed... one more q.
by georgejenner＠belgacom.net 25 Aug '02

25 Aug '02

Hiya I smell it running. (I'm doing it on Windows, remember?) I can now use virtual hosts to bring up the opac and librarian pages,but when I run any script, it returns a blank screen. (For example, when I try to search the database for a book or a user, even though it is empty at the moment) The apache logs show no errors. Any idea what can cause this? I must say this is what happens in Opera. For some reason in Internet Explorer it now tries to establish an internet connection, as if it's searching for a dns that is not local. Don't know what I changed to cause this. Got irc runnig so I'll pop in one night and say hello. Right now gotta crash. Ta Geo

Koha press opportunity
by Pat Eyler 24 Aug '02

24 Aug '02

This morning, I picked up my local newspaper and saw (on the front page) that the Seattle Public Library is going top be sutting down for a week in a cost savings measure. I'm planning on contacting the writer to see about doing a follow up article highlighting Koha. If any of you are interested/willing to be interviewed (no promises, the article might not even happen) please send me your contact information by private email. Along with email address and phone number, please let me know if you're a librarian, support staff, or developer and if you're actively working with Koha, reviewing it for possible use, or just idly looking on. I'd like to be able to give the writer a sorted list of contacts. This all comes at a nice time for us, because there is a large library (seven branches and over 250,000 items) who is ready to announce their adoption of Koha. (Look for a story about it before September!) thanks, -pate Kaitiaki/manager the Koha project
