Need Help - SSO & API for Koha
by Mohan Kumar K.V. 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hi All, Can somebody help me to understand and give clarity for below two functionality in KOHA. 1. Single Sign On – Koha and Digital Library. (Can we use OAUTH2 for this or any other predefined functionality is available?). Idea is to have single user base for LMS and DL. If you have any architecture diagram, pls share with us. 2. Exposing API`s from KOHA for sharing analytics and some limited functionalities to other application. With regards, Mohan

excessive growth of our Koha system
by Archivo Historico Andalucia 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hi everyone! For some time we have been having an error in our koha system due to excessive growth of the database. The file that is constantly growing is: var/lib/mysql/ibdata1. It seems a zebra problem (We have a Koha old versión: 3.08...) We don't know why it grows so much or how to fix it. Currently we have to increase the server space because every few days there is a failure due to lack of space. It is a temporary solution but we would definitely like to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance!

Introduction: New Koha Manager
by Michael Adamyk 09 Feb '20

09 Feb '20

Hello everyone, my name is Michael Adamyk and I began working at the Central Kansas Library System (CKLS) in the United States last month as the new Koha manager. When I joined the Koha Mailing List it encouraged an introductory email, so... here it is! :-) Our system is a consortium of about 50 public and school libraries that use Koha, and CKLS manages the software. ByWater Solutions provides development, support, and hosting for us. I worked with Koha in a public library in circulation and cataloging, but am new to the software management side of things, so have a lot to learn. I've found the Koha manual and am part of several Koha-US mailing lists. I'm looking forward to working with all of you and sharing ideas, tips, etc. Eventually I'm hoping to get into a bit of development, but that's probably sometime down the road. Up to now I've been mainly learning through videos I can find, the Koha manual, and just playing around with things (we have a test server which really helps the experimentation process). Any other tips anyone has for learning Koha, particularly administration and reports, would be awesome. Thanks everyone, and it's great to "meet" you! -- *Michael Adamyk* Technology Manager* | *Central Kansas Library System 620-792-4865

by Heinz-Jürgen Oertel 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hello, I'm still in the process of testing Koha, I have installed it on a virtual machine on my local network. This works so far. I also added some books to the database. Now I want to let other people outside of my local network test this installation, but I'm not able to reach it I can reach my network vi something.dnshome.de With a port forwarding 80 -> 80 in the network router I can reach the test page of the apache server. How can I reach the koha server -- regards Heinz

Dear all, As we have imported 26,ooo books into koha and I already had 4700 books entered manually . as I have added 0 in front of barcode with the 4700 books e.g (02412). when i imported 26000 books it didn't replace the existing records which has no 0 in front of barcode e.g (2400). Now when I check the catalog it shows many duplicates. which would be 26000 books + 4700 books + duplicate biblios. Now I don't know what to do????????? I have attached the screenshot... please help me ASAP.... With regards, Nalisha

Re: [Koha] need help with accessing koha from outside via
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 07 Feb '20

Hi Alvaro, I think that you misunderstand the netstat output there. "tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 1113/apache2" means that it's using a TCP socket that supports both IPv4 and IPv6. Heinz: 1. Remove the entries from /etc/hosts 2. Do "nslookup something.dnshome.de" 3. Confirm that the output of the above command matches your current home IP address 4. Ensure that your Apache configuration for the OPAC has either a ServerName or ServerAlias directive matching something.dnshome.de 5. Reload/restart Apache to be on the safe side 6. That should be it That said, I'd be careful exposing a test version of Koha to the Internet, especially if you're not familiar with Koha or Apache.

Check that your koha site is enabled (sudo a2ensite bibliotthek.conf) As per tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 1113/apache2 Seems apache is not listening to tcp4 and also port 8080 is not enabled either. You should have in your apache port file Listen 80 Listen 8080 In some cases, there are conflict with IPV6. If you do not use it you can disable it by: Listen 0.0.0.0:80 Listen 0.0.0.0:8080 After doing those changes, you need to restart apache sudo service apache2 restart Regards, Alvaro |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Envíe y Reciba Datos y mensajes de Texto (SMS) hacia y desde cualquier celular y Nextel en el Perú, México y en mas de 180 paises.

Koha Newsletter January 2020: addendum
by kohanews 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

I overlooked a really great submission to the Jan. 2020 newsletter. Must be the lack of caffeine. ( Sorry about that, Marcel! ) Please take a look at the newly added entry in the community announcements section of the newsletter: https://koha-community.org/koha-community-newsletter-january-2020/#announce *Marcel de Rooy* blogs about the history and use of Koha at the Rijksmuseum <https://theartofinformationblog.wordpress.com/2020/01/08/3725/> over the last 10 years. Though rare, this isn't the first time I've overlooked tidbits and article submissions over the past few years and I've decided to start announcing my blunders while calling attention to the articles in an email addendum so they get the attention they deserve. Thank you! Chad -- Chad Roseburg Editor, Koha Community Newsletter
