Username and Password Missing after Logoff and Shutdown?
by Charles Kelley 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hello, all! Earlier today, I changed a small number of records to my library's catalog. I changed both authority records and bibliographic records. Then I logged out and ran the updates and upgrades (#sudo apt update) and (#sudo apt upgrade) on our Linux box. Finally, I shut down the Linux box. A few hours later, I rebooted the Linux box. Koha solicited me for my username and password, the ones in koha-conf.xml. I found them in /etc/koha/sites/LIBRARY/koha-conf.xml. I have typed them multiple times, only to be rebuffed every time. What did I do wrong? How can we reset the username and password? Fortunately, I have cloned a backup right before I began working on the most recent changes, so I have lost only a few hours of work. I'll have to reenter the changes I made, but to paraphrase an old aphorism, "If you live by technology, you die by technology." -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.

Hi Elaine, Compared to what we have (19.11.11) the only difference is that we have not set branch code. What if you "expire" all your news and create a plain text news? or maybe just keep your last test new?

Kia ora, Does anyone know of any open source Request for Proposal/Tender type documents, or any other documents that libraries have shared that were used to procure library software? I feel like I heard about something along these lines a while back, but can't find anything just now.

Items moved to News are not displaying
by Elaine Bradtke 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

We recently updated our system to 20.05.05. I understand some OPAC system preferences regarding the display have moved to the News tool. But the following aren't displaying: OPAC (opacheader_en), OPAC (OpacMainUserBlock_en), OPAC (OpacNavRight_en), OPAC (en) Our OPAC front page is quite bare, and I'd really like to have the "Library is Closed to the Public, etc." message displaying. I've tried editing them - adding a title when needed and saving, but it didn't make a difference. Any thoughts on what to do?
