Ahhh sorry my mistake again. I should have put in the install instructions that you need to edit Output.pm I've done a little rewrite to C4/Output.pm to make it easier to change There is a variable $path that you need to set to value of where your includes are stored. > I have not been able to install koha to make it work anyhow. > If there's anyone who could give hints on how to do it, please do so. > Benedict, can you try doing a search in koha, in the opac maybe. And take a look at the apache error_log for it. That may help shed some light on whats happening. Or you can send the log to me if you like and ill take a look at it.

Hi, I have found out that there's some hardcoded paths in Output.pm: /usr/local/www/hdl/htdocs/includes/ which presents difficulty at installation. Temporary solution was to make a symbolic link. I have not been able to install koha to make it work anyhow. If there's anyone who could give hints on how to do it, please do so. thnaks for any answer.

tar ball defective?
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Hi, While untarring the tarball with koha-1.01.tar.gz I get these messages: gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ingored tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors I am using tar zxvf koha-1.01.tar.gz command. Is this OK? Also, the filenames eg. front-mouseover-memeber.gif are not called from scripts by their right name. Apache complains that such file doesn't exist. That's because it is called as front-mouseover-members.gif. regards, Benedict --------------------------------------- Darmowe kursy HTML, JavaScript, Flash http://fabryka.republika.pl/kurs/ ---------------------------------------

internationalization of koha?
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

Hi all, I have partially installed koha 1.01 and I am impressed with the completeness functionality if offers. I was wondering how many files do I have to translate in order for it to speak and present itself to users in their own native tongue? thanks for any answers. Also, how to populate the tables in mysql with koha bypassing the "commercialism" of placing some orders - as I have noticed...? Benedict P.

Hi all, just wondering whether koha.mysql will work with postgresql? Postgres is included with many Linux distros. Has anyone tried that already? regards, Benedict --------------------------------------- Darmowe kursy HTML, JavaScript, Flash http://fabryka.republika.pl/kurs/ ---------------------------------------

just a thought
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 17 Aug '00

Hi, Just a thought on "koha", it means donation, a gift, contribution in Maori I infer. Believe it or not but in Polish it means: He [or She] loves... . Given the fact that love is a gift of one to another then Polish and Maori must be related languages, ha ha !

setup: some paths
by Matthew Kelly (CPL) 17 Aug '00

17 Aug '00

What I ended up doing is making the opac site the default and then added a virtualhost on the port no to 6588 (could be just about anything) so that users would point it to 192.168.1.1:6588 and this would get it to the Koha admin side of things.. in the Apache httpd.comf file I have done the following Listen koha.mysite.co.nz:6588 listen barney.mysite.co.nz:80 Port 80 Port 6588 AddHandler cgi-script .cgi AddHandler cgi-script .pl # # To use server-parsed HTML files # AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml AddType text/html .html AddHandler server-parsed .html AddType text/html .inc AddHandler server-parsed .inc <VirtualHost koha.mysite.co.nz> ServerAdmin matthew.kelly(a)press.co.nz DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/intranet-html ServerName koha.mysite.co.nz ErrorLog /home/httpd/html/intranet-html/logs/error_log TransferLog /home/httpd/html/intranet-html/logs/access_log </VirtualHost> and it works. * Matthew Kelly (MCP) * Systems Controller * Christchurch Press Co Ltd * Phone: 364-8494 extn 612 * Cell phone: 021 500-654 * Visit our site at www.stuff.co.nz -----Original Message----- From: Benedykt P. Barszcz [mailto:kb2qzv@box43.gnet.pl] Sent: Thursday, 17 August 2000 09:53 To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] setup: some paths Hi, With many actions that are invoked in both opac and koha the server seems to be loking for .../cgi-bin/koha/somefile.pl instead for cgi-bin/somefile.pl. Why? The INSTALL file instructs to copy all *.pl file into cgi-bin, not to cgi-bin/koha/ dir. Is this something i am missing? Also, Is there a way to create a CNAME in /etc/hosts (I know this question should be going to a more general linux group)? My /ets hosts file just lists 192.168.1.1 twice, once for opac.private.org, and second time for koha.private.org. It doesn't work, though. http.conf has <VirtualHosts> directive set for both but it doesn't work. Show only the opac stuff, not the intranet stuff. Any hints welcome and appreciated thanks Benedict --------------------------------------- Darmowe kursy HTML, JavaScript, Flash http://fabryka.republika.pl/kurs/ ---------------------------------------
