Getting errors while running process_message_queue.pl after KOHA upgradation
by Nirakar Mishra 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Sir/Madam, I have recently upgraded KOHA from version 18.05.03 to 20.05, also upgraded the OS from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS recently. While using the KOHA version 18.05, the process_message_queue.pl was running fine and the circulation transaction notices were sending perfectly using the cronjobs. But after upgrading, all the things are working fine except the notices. I am getting the following errors and still couldn't find the solution. I am using Postfix Email server which is also working fine. The settings I had used in the KOHA version 18.05 are kept same. But I am getting the following errors and also notices are not being sent. *(1) For running the Cronjob from root: koha-foreach --chdir --enabled --email /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl <http://process_message_queue.pl>* Use of uninitialized value $_ in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Sendmail.pm line 216.

Two Koha instance but only one Zebra configuration
by Michael Kuhn 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Hi We run a host containing two Koha 18.11 instances which both use the same Zebra configuration (as is the standard). Zebra uses the following files (etc.) that make no difference between instances: * /etc/koha/zebradb/ccl.properties * /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml * /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl * /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Koha.pm * /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/de-DE/includes/facets.inc We would like to have separate Zebra configurations for each Koha instance - I think it's not possible (as long as both instances reside on the same host), but am I maybe missing something?

Serving an Intranet WebPAC from a Website
by Mumanyi, Bravismore 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Dear Koha Community I have a Koha site that intends to publish their mature WebPAC to the globe. However, they decline to assign a public IP and DN. Their preferred route is to serve KOHA pages via their website hosted on Windows/IIS. Koha is on Ubuntu/Apache2 webserver. I had thought of using samba to share the Koha opac DocumentRoot, then create a virtualhost equivalent on IIS. Before I labour on this, any Koha geeks out there who can advise if this will technically work? Thank you Regards /Bravismore

Coverflow installation problems
by Quỳnh Vũ Đỗ 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Hello everyone, I am using a test database of our Library on Koha 19.11.06 (just auto-upgraded from 19.11.05) on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. In the process of customizing the OPAC and installing the COverflow plugin as described at: https://bywatersolutions.com/education/coverflow-blog-post-update I have created the sql report by copying and paste the described content on that page: Report SQL: SELECT b.biblionumber, SUBSTRING_INDEX(m.isbn, ‘ ‘, 1) AS isbn, b.title FROM items i LEFT JOIN biblioitems m USING (biblioitemnumber) LEFT JOIN biblio b ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber) WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 180 DAY) <= i.dateaccessioned AND m.isbn IS NOT NULL AND m.isbn != ” ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 7 The only modification I have brought to the original code was to change the INTERVAL from 30 DAY to 180 DAY as the last operation made on that database was made on 25th February 2020. On running the report I got the following error message: "The database returned the following error: Incorrect parameters in the call to native function 'substring_index' Please check the log for further details" So I checked the log at /var/log/koha/library/intranet-error.log which indicated: [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.385286 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: \r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.385426 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: LIMIT ?, ?" with ParamValues: 0=0, 1=7] at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl line 1001.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.385605 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: DBD::mysql::st fetchrow_arrayref failed: fetch() without execute() [for Statement "SELECT b.biblionumber, SUBSTRING_INDEX(m.isbn, \xe2\x80\x98 \xe2\x80\x98, 1) AS isbn, b.title\r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.385660 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: FROM items i\r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.385745 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: LEFT JOIN biblioitems m USING (biblioitemnumber)\r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.385834 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: LEFT JOIN biblio b ON (i.biblionumber=b.biblionumber)\r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.385966 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(),INTERVAL 180 DAY) <= i.dateaccessioned AND m.isbn IS NOT NULL AND m.isbn != \xe2\x80\x9d\r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.386024 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: ORDER BY rand()\r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/ guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.386072 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: \r: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl [Sun Jun 07 08:21:27.386321 2020] [cgi:error] [pid 30474] [client 127.0.0.1:39572] AH01215: [Sun Jun 7 08:21:27 2020] guided_reports.pl: LIMIT ?, ?" with ParamValues: 0=0, 1=7] at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl line 839.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/reports/guided_reports.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl As I have limited knowledge in SQL coding, I am unsure of what to do (I remember to have tested that SQL code with Koha 16.05 and it worked then).

koha-plack --restart biblio
by Victor Barroso Oliveira 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

Good afternoon, After a while of using Koha it starts to slow down to save records and other processes. I run the koha-plack --restart biblio at the terminal and it returns to normal! What could be happening? How can I maintain the same performance without having to reset the koha-plack? Thank you, Victor

Koha: Welsh speaker(s) needed to fix a translation issue
by Victor Grousset/tuxayo 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

Hello, If someone can reach a Welsh translator, this should be simple. As part of the work to release this month's minor Koha versions, a few string translations have been found to generate errors. These errors on even small piece of text can lead to major translation breakage not just on the invalid string. But no worries, they were manually marked for exclusion but the best thing would be to have the string correct and complete. Here there are: https://translate.koha-community.org/cy/20.05/translate/cy-GB-opac-bootstra… https://translate.koha-community.org/cy/19.11/translate/cy-GB-opac-bootstra… https://translate.koha-community.org/cy/19.05/translate/cy-GB-opac-bootstra… If something about the translation process is unclear, ask in the list of directly, I'll be glad to help.
