Academic users: Integration with Banner (2nd try)
by Joelle Hannert 16 May '18

16 May '18

I didn't get any responses to my question about Banner a few weeks ago, so I'm trying one more time. Has anyone out there successfully integrated patron records from their Koha system with the college's Banner system? If your library has found a way to interface with Banner, how do you do it? Are you able to import and export data, or do you use API, or something like MySQL or Web Services? Thanks for any information you can share! I'm not a Koha user (yet!), so I'm not familiar with all the lists. If there's a more appropriate list that I should be posting to, would someone point me in the right direction? :) Thanks!

Koha and 2 factor authentication
by Kyle Hall 16 May '18

16 May '18

There seems to be some interest in adding 2 factor authentication to Koha. We are trying to find out what would be the most practical and easiest way to implement 2fa for Koha combined with what would be most useful for libraries that would actually *use* 2fa. The bug report filed for it is https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20476 Basically, at this point we've come up with two ideas: 1) Use Auth::GoogleAuthenticator 2) Use PrivacyIdea ( https://www.privacyidea.org/ ) Implementing GoogleAuthenticator would be much simpler I think. However, my thought is the same users that are concerned about 2fa are the same users that are concerned about privacy, and may not be interested in it simply because it means giving at least some data to Google. PrivacyIdea on the other hand would be more work for both the developer and the system admin since it is a completely separate package that would require installation and maintenance independent of Koha itself. However, it is also much more powerful and can offer a myriad of 2FA options that GoogleAuthenticator cannot. On the developer side, OTRS which is also written in Perl has implemented and may or may not have something useful we can crib from it ( https://github.com/privacyidea/privacyidea/tree/master/authmodules/OTRS ). So, what does everything think? If you want 2FA, would GoogleAuthenticator be a reasonable solution?

Re: [Koha] Koha 17.05 and memcached
by Adrian 14 May '18

14 May '18

Thank you very much Guille! Finally I made it work, but is a weird configuration... the only way to make it work at least on 17.05, was to have part of the config in the xml file, and the rest on the apache-configured file: ... SetEnv MEMCACHED_SERVERS "127.0.0.1:11211" SetEnv MEMCACHED_NAMESPACE "koha-intra" ... I receive a warning on the about koha page (Config read from ENV and koha-conf.xml), but the Status is green and running. Thank you for your help! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-17-05-and-memcached-tp5939903p594095… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Plack Install Error - Continued related BUG 20639
by ksorbo 10 May '18

10 May '18

Referring to Bug 20639 - missing dependencies for plack (Running on Ubuntu 16.04 and Koha 17.11, mariadb) The bug fix says to install libplack-perl libcgi-emulate-psgi-perl I installed those dependencies. However, it still was missing: libcgi-compile-perl I installed that. HOWEVER, after installing both these dependencies, I am getting the following error in my plack-error.log Error while loading /etc/koha/plack.psgi: Can't locate Koha/Exceptions/Exception.pm: ./Koha/Exceptions/Exception.pm: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl/5.22/base.pm line 97. ...propagated at /usr/share/perl/5.22/base.pm line 106.

MOVED KOHA FROM OLD TO NEW SERVER LOGIN ERROR
by Fadhili Ngalawa 08 May '18

08 May '18

Hello everyone, My Institute was using Koha 16 installed on Ubuntu 14.04. With this setup it was not possible to upgrade to Koha 17.05 or the latest. Yesterday, I did the backup and upgrade the server to Ubuntu 16.04. Unfortunately, after the upgrade, Koha could not be accessed. I later installed Ubuntu 18.04 and install Koha 17.11 but after running the restore procedures as usual using the commands *1. mysql -u root -p koha_instance < backup07052018.sql * *2. sudo koha-upgrade-schema koha_instance3. sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f koha_instance* I managed to access Koha, and logged in (using the users available) to the intranet side or staff client page. (8433 port or known 8080). But when I log in using the OPAC side, I got the below error that made me switch from Koha 17.11 to Koha 17.05 but got the same error. Software error: Template process failed: undef error - DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_dbh_execute(): Table 'koha_opac.club_enrollments' doesn't exist at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Objects.pm line 269 For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. After some online search, I found others were having this problem when using MYSQL but for my case, I am using MariaDB 10. I kindly ask for assistance on the above error. Regards, Fadhili
