Install page Unavalible
by crege2 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

I have completed the whole terminal side setup on Ubuntu 18.04 and when I go to ipaddress:8080 the Install page I get the message "Sorry! The Koha site you are trying to access is currently unavailable, probably because of maintenance. This is not at all your fault, and we apologize for any inconvenience the downtime may cause you. Please check back in a while. We hope to get things back up soon." How can I fix this? -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html

Ejournal management?
by Carlos Lopez 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Hi everyone Do you deal with ejournal subscription management? Koha will of course keep track of physical subscriptions, but does it also deal with subscriptions where no physical items are received? (that is, can it keep track of costa and renewal costs and dates but not need individual issues to be entered?)

Altering the frameworkcode of existing records
by Michael Kuhn 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Hi This is Koha 18.11. In our library we exported the standard framework, re-imported it as "RVSK". Then it was edited and more than 2'600 records were added. Only recently it turned out the new framework "RVSK" was edited far too much, only leaving 17 MARC tags but missing many fields, among them mandatory fields like MARC 003, 005, 040$c or 952. Unfortunately all the missing fields were not just hidden but deleted. It would be a lot of manual work to find out and re-create the missing fields. Thus we thought it would be easier to again export the standard framework and re-import it under a new name like "ABC". Then move the 2'600 records from framework "RVSK" to "ABC", delete the mutilated framework "RVSK" and carefully edit the new framework "ABC". I think the following SQL command could do this: UPDATE biblio SET frameworkcode="ABC" WHERE frameworkcode="RVSK" Has anyone done this before? Will this work or would this cause new problems?

Koha Not calculating and charging overdue fines
by muirunyeri 15 Aug '19

Hi Carlos, I ran the report which returns a single column with item numbers. It indeed confirms all items are without home branch. However, no batch editing option. Any assistance to solve this is highly appreciated.

You need to make sure that in all your items Home library (homebranch) and current location (holdingbranch) are set for Koha to work correctly. Depending on the amount of items you have, there could be different ways to fix this: batch item editing, exporting/reimporting (matching items) or SQL. Make sure you have not hidden those fields from the add item form or have set proper defaults set to prevent the problem in the future.

For example sometimes it's easy to miss that rules for 'all libraries' might have been overwritten by branch specific ones.
