CLARIFICATION re adding books question
by Pete Dubler 19 Jun '02

19 Jun '02

CLARIFICATION: my acquisition and circulation screens don't look anything at all like those at: http://hlt.katipo.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl or http://hlt.katipo.co.nz/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbooks.pl How could I be so far off??? Thanks again, Pete Things are finally looking pretty rosey in that koha and opac are running. Now I can't seem to find anything in all of these links in koha that allow me to add members or books. The docs in the doc directory show the librarians manual as something to be worked on in the future... I have all of the scripts in the koha/cgi directory, what am I missing here???? groveling again... just a little push in the right direction please... Thanks, Pete Dubler Ridgeview Classical Schools Fort Collins, Colorado, USA

Winning the battle...except CDK-Perl
by Pete Dubler 19 Jun '02

19 Jun '02

Well, I seem to be winning the install battle (18 hours of work later), but now I am stuck on just one thing: - finding a good copy of cdk perl extensions for redhat 7.1. (can I use CPAN? what is the exact incantation?) (the refered to download sites will not download a clean copy for some reason) I have searched all of the koha letter archives and googled myself to the point of googling trying to find an rpm or other usable cdk perl (can't find one on my redhat cds, could it be there?) Any pointers would be appreciated. (Perhaps I will contribute a more complete install "cookbook" style instruction sheet when I am done). Many thanks, graveling and googling, Pete Dubler

an experiment
by Pat Eyler 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

With the call going out for people to advertise their own businesses on the koha support pages (thanks for the support Rach!), I wanted to set up a mailing list for people to discuss starting companies and/or consulting practices around Koha. This list will be a place to discuss marketing, business development, resource sharing, lead sharing (for extra-regional leads), sub-contracting opportunities, and the like. I believe that there is room for a lot of healthy cooperation, and would like to take some of the load off of Katipo. I also believe that koha and koha-devel are the wrong places for this conversation. If you're interested in starting a company or practice (or are just interested in kibitzing), please subscribe to the mailing list by sending an email to: kohabiz-subscribe(a)eylerfamily.org and following the directions in the response you receive. thanks, -pate

Open Book
by Brenton Milne 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

I notice that there have been enquiries on this list regarding the status of Open Book (a fork of Koha that was being developed and then seemed to disappear). It appears that development and testing has been continuing and the name is now the Integrated Library System (ILS) and sponsored by LearningAccess.org. They have a bit on info on their website at http://www.learningaccess.org/website/techdev/ils.php but no downloads available yet.

Re: [Koha] From the Kaitiaki

I would like to translate koha in Bangla (Bengali) the 5th largest language in the world. Also I will try to translate koha in hindi. Whether the images are to be changed only? I would like to get the overall idea of how to do that. Can i get to see the translated version in other language in any site? Md.

More complicated name-based vhosts Setup 1: The server machine has one IP address (111.22.33.44) which resolves to the name server.domain.tld. There are two aliases (CNAMEs) www.domain.tld and www.sub.domain.tld for the address 111.22.33.44. Server configuration: ... Port 80 ServerName server.domain.tld NameVirtualHost 111.22.33.44 <VirtualHost 111.22.33.44> DocumentRoot /www/domain ServerName www.domain.tld ... </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 111.22.33.44> DocumentRoot /www/subdomain ServerName www.sub.domain.tld ... </VirtualHost> Apart from localhost there are no unspecified addresses/ports, therefore the main server only serves localhost requests. Due to the fact that www.domain.tld has the highest priority it can be seen as the default or primary server.
