hi everybody, i'm working on installation koha. I'm using Mandrake 7.2 on my server. in fact i'm a newbie on linux. first of all I've print of out installation file and I've made all of them step by step but there are some parts which I don't understand. Of course there are some problems. For example all the virtual host are working but when I want to made a query a blank screen came across me on browser. This is the steps I've made: 1/ Create a new mysql database [OK] 2/ Set up a username and password in mysql [OK] 3/ Use the mysql script to create the tables [OK] 4/ Edit koha.conf [OK] 5/ Copy koha.conf to /etc/ [OK] >------------------- IMPORTANT--------------- >the permissions on this config file should also be strict, since >they contain the database password. At a minimum, the apache >user needs to be able to read it, as well as any other user that >runs circ. I would suggest ownership of www-data.libadmins with >no access to others. libadmins contain all users that use koha. (If >you set the owner as www-data u will need to make sure apache >is running as www-data) >------------------------------------------------------- (I didn't understant this paragraph perhaps the problem's reason is at that terms.) 6/ $path="/usr/local/www/koha/htdocs/includes"; [OK] Next copy the C4 directory (in scripts/) to somewhere in ur perl path eg /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux/ Right we are now ready to set up our opac 1/ Set up a webspace for the opac [OK] 2/ In your opac dir make a dir called htdocs, [OK] 3/ Again in ur opac dir make a dir called cgi-bin [OK] 4/ Your virtual host should be set up to use these dirs [OK] 5/ Ok, restart apache [OK] Now we can set up the intranet/librarian interface 1/ Set up another webspace lets call it koha [OK] 2/ In the dir you have just created make an htdocs [OK] 3/ Make sure ur virtual host is set up to use these dirs [OK] 4/ Restart apache point your browser at koha.your.site [OK] Zeki Celikbas Librarian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Istanbul Technical University e:mailto:celikbas@itu.edu.tr Faculty of Aero. & Astro. w:http://www2.itu.edu.tr/~celikbas 80626 Maslak Istanbul Turkey t:(212)2853108 f: (212)2853139 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: Systempreferences table

Steve, This is a great idea. I'm adding some prefs to control whether Member Numbers and Barcode numbers increment automatically, and this table will fit that need perfectly. May I suggest the following change to enable editing with phpMyAdmin CREATE TABLE systempreferences ( variable char(50) NOT NULL, value char(200), PRIMARY KEY (variable) );

Tips for Koha 1.10 installation
by glen_stewart＠associate.com 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

As I've been reviewing Koha 1.10 prior to installation, I've found several problems. Here are some tips to help you if you plan to install before the problems are fixed in the next release: 1. find all references to "image src" in the package, and replace them with "img src". This is an old bug from pre-1.07. 2. the front-member.gif in the intranet-html/images folder is corrupt. Get an old copy from a previous release of Koha and use it instead. 3. Koha is still mis-programmed to require Server-Side-Includes from .html files. This puts an undue burden on the server and does not follow standards that say these files should be named .shtml. Fixing this will require a lot of searching and renaming. I'd like to know how many folks run Koha and Opac on the same server. If you do, the Koha 1.10 package will not run as provided, since it assumes at least a <VirtualHost> configuration and 2 domain names. Would you prefer that Koha be provided so it can all run on the same server without this?

Koha-1.1.0 availiable
by Chris Cormack 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hi all Koha version 1.1.0 is now available for download from http://www.koha.org/download/ It should be available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha/ very soon also. Lots of changes in this version, hence the jump to 1.1.0 The biggest changes are to do with circulation. There is now a comprehensive circulation API which makes building circulation modules to use your chosen interface much much easier. There is also now a web based circulation section that uses this module. Im planning to rewrite the telnet based circ to use slang and the new API. Version 1.1.1 is likely to follow closely on 1.1.0's heels so if bugs are spotted please report them to me and ill fix them before 1.1.1 Thanks Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris(a)katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

Anonymous CVS access at sourceforge
by Chris Cormack 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hi All Im just working on packaging up a new version of koha for release. And have just notice anonymous cvs access at sourceforge is working again The instructions for how to do it are at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=16466 The 2 modules that are there are koha (the scripts and perl modules) and koha-html (the html funnily enough :-) ) This means you should be able to checkout latest copies of the code. New tarball should be out soon Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris(a)katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

MARC records
by Father - Mike Johnson 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

Hi.. I found Koha while searching for GPL software to use in a scalable way in my son's school library... I have to say I was much impressed with Koha. Does anyone know if Koha supports MARC records... this was a question that came up. I realize there is a perl (ariadne) project dealing with MARC, but since I have little experience with Koha or Ariadne, I didn't know if this was supported. Infact, I only recently learned of the existance of MARC records, so I'm not sure if this is appropriate. Also, is anyone providing paid support for Koha? Mike

Hi, What should one do to all the files from the koha-cvsroot.tar.gz that end with *.pl,v? I thought I will get files ready for consuption, instead what you get is an image what is in the cvs at the moment:-) I suppose there is a program or a command the trims the *.pl,v files of all the cvs related additions. Please, help. Benedict PS> I didn't see any INSTALL files int the repository. You probably anticipate already what my next questions will be :-) --
