Status of ElasticSearch - 2021 version
by Tom Hanstra 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Last year I checked in on the status of ElasticSearch with Koha and got the distinct impression that it was still quite a work in progress. Almost a year has passed and I'm not sure if much has changed. As late as October, 2020, I see messages suggesting "Stay with Zebra for now". But I also see some messages about sites who claim to have successfully moved to ElasticSearch. It is just unclear if they are using it for everything or if there is some hybrid of using both in place. The Wiki is of little help. Along with being completely Debian-centric (I'm not using Debian), it is a couple of versions behind. So, again, signs that ElasticSearch is still not mainstream. So, who actually uses ElasticSearch in production at this point? I'm interested in doing so if it can speed things up as well as work fully with both Authorities and Bibs. But if it is still not there, I can continue with Zebra. Thanks, Tom -- *Tom Hanstra* *Sr. Systems Administrator* hanstra(a)nd.edu

When I tried to run barcode.pl use Modern::Perl; use Koha::Biblios; use Koha::Items; my $biblios = Koha::Biblios->search; my $branchcode='ppa'; while (my $biblio=$biblios->next) { Koha::Item->new( { biblionumber =>$biblio->biblionumber, homebranch =>$branchcode, holdingbranch =>$branchcode, barcode =>'barcode_'.$biblio->biblionumber, itype =>$biblio->biblioitem->itemtype, } )->store; } This is the error messages that I got: No method biblioitem! at barcode.pl line 8 Can't call method "itemtype" on an undefined value at barcode.pl line 10 Any help will be nice.

I tried the perl that Jonathan sent but the Internet did not give good advise on how to run the perl. Here is what I typed: """ use Modern::Perl; use Koha::Biblios; use Koha::Items; my $biblios = Koha::Biblios->search; my $branchcode='ppa'; while ( my $biblio=$biblios->next) { Koha::Item->new( { biblionumber => $biblio->biblionumber, homebranch => $branchcode, holingbranch =>$branchcode, barccode =>"barcode_'.$biblio->biblionumber, itype =>$biblio->biblioitem->itemtype, } )-store; } """ My test machine has a mind of its own. On Monday because it was a Federal holiday it did not want to work. It is a 32 bit machine with ubuntu 14.04 and Koha 16.05.05. When I tried to run barodes.pl all it did was make Koha think it was just installed. I am doing something wrong but have no idea what it is. Anything that works on that machine will work on my 64 bit machine with Ubuntu 20.04.1 with Koha 20.11.02. Br Raphael

Yes, you should rerun the upgrade-schema script on the backup.

Help debugging Internal Server Error
by Doug Dearden 18 Feb '21

18 Feb '21

Hey Everyone, I did an upgrade today on our server. We were running version 19.05 on stretch, and we needed to upgrade to buster and I decided to get up to the latest stable Koha release at the same time. The upgrade seemed to go OK but now when I go to our OPAC and do a search I get no results, and if I click on a link for recently added items I get an internal server error. There are some Perl Modules showing as not installed - Locale::XGettext::TT2 , Text::CSV::Unicode , Selenium::Remote::Driver , Test::DBIx::Class, HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench . There was a warning on the System Information tab about the <lockdir> not being defined in koha-conf.xml so I added that to the config section in there and that warning is now gone. I thought this might be related to plack. If I enter koha-plack -stop <instance> it returns Stopping Plack daemon for <instance> When I enter koha-plack -disable <instance> it returns Plack not disabled for <instance> OPAC Plack not disabled for <instance> Intranet With Plack stopped the error changes to Service Unavailable I tried commenting out the Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-opac-plack.conf line from the apache config and restarting apache, but still got Service Unavailable . /var/log/koha/<instance>/opac-error.log shows this repeatedly [Wed Feb 17 17:03:58.912977 2021] [proxy_http:error] [pid 4810] [client 185.191.171.3:37140] AH01114: HTTP: failed to make connection to backend: httpd-UDS I'm not really sure what logs I should be looking at to troubleshoot this.

16 Feb '21

Hi, saluton, hola, bonjour, String freeze is into effect as of now for the 19.11.x maintenance branch. The release is scheduled for the 22th. This means it's the right time to head over to the translation platform: https://translate.koha-community.org/projects/ Reminder: if you add or change a translation in version 19.11, then you must also copy it to 20.05 and 20.11. Otherwise your work will be lost for future versions. Happy translating, -- Victor Grousset/tuxayo
