Intranet error after upgrade
by Matthew Charlesworth, S.J. 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

Hello, I recently upgraded my library to the following and didn't notice any errors during the upgrade. Koha version: 17.11.01.000 OS version ('uname -a'): Linux ip-172-31-36-26 4.4.0-109-generic #132-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 9 19:52:39 UTC 2018 x86_64 Perl version: 5.022001 MySQL version: mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.0.33-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2 Apache version: Server version: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Memcached: Servers: undefined Zebra version: Zebra 2.0.59 However, when I tried to access the Intranet (https://library.sj.org.za:8080) Chrome gives an 'Err empty response'. I tried it in Safari and got a similar message. But I can see the OPAC (https://library.sj.org.za/) just fine. On the localhost I can access the Intranet (using lynx), which made me think perhaps the problem is with Apache to the outside? But Apache is running. I looked in the error logs and found: tail /var/log/apache2/error.log [Sat Jan 20 06:26:11.494741 2018] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 8277] AH00163: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) mpm-itk/2.4.7-04 OpenSSL/1.0.2g configured -- resuming normal operations [Sat Jan 20 06:26:11.494755 2018] [core:notice] [pid 8277] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2' [Sat Jan 20 06:26:11.714372 2018] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 8277] AH00171: Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Sat Jan 20 06:26:11.720326 2018] [core:warn] [pid 8277] AH00111: Config variable ${instance} is not defined [Sat Jan 20 06:26:11.720339 2018] [core:warn] [pid 8277] AH00111: Config variable ${instance} is not defined [Sat Jan 20 06:26:11.724453 2018] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 8277] AH00163: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) mpm-itk/2.4.7-04 OpenSSL/1.0.2g configured -- resuming normal operations [Sat Jan 20 06:26:11.724460 2018] [core:notice] [pid 8277] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2' My vhost configuration for the Intranet is: <VirtualHost *:8080> Include /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-intranet.conf ServerName library.sj.org.za SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml" SetEnv MEMCACHED_SERVERS "" SetEnv MEMCACHED_NAMESPACE "" AssignUserID library-koha library-koha ErrorLog /var/log/koha/library/intranet-error.log # TransferLog /var/log/koha/library/intranet-access.log # RewriteLog /var/log/koha/library/intranet-rewrite.log ScriptAlias /coverflow.pl "/var/lib/koha/library/plugins/Koha /Plugin/Com/ByWaterSolutions/CoverFlow/coverflow.pl" Alias /plugin "/var/lib/koha/library/plugins" # The stanza below is needed for Apache 2.4+ <Directory /var/lib/koha/library/plugins> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted </Directory> SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/library.sj.org.za/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/library.sj.org.za/privkey.pem Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf ServerName library.sj.org.za SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/library.sj.org.za/chain.pem </VirtualHost> I'm running this on an Amazon EC2 instance. Has anyone any ideas on why it would just stop working after a routine sudo apt-get upgrade ? I'd be grateful for any hints or help. Matthew

Dear Satish, With the help of sql query you will resolve your problem. Make your data in excel sheet then use below query for the same and resolve your query in bulk e.g. update borrowers set cardnumber = '4GH17ME18' where cardnumber = '17ME01'; Regards, ============================================================================ =========== Ramakant Senior Library Information Assistant P K Kelkar Library Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur - 208 016 Email - ramakant(a)iitk.ac.in, ramakant.iitk(a)gmail.com Phone: 0512 6797707 (O), +91 8090049089 (Mo.)

Information on KOHA - Central Bank of Malta
by Camilleri Simon 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Dear KOHA Community, By way of introducing myself I am a senior Library Officer at the Central Bank of Malta and at the moment we are exploring KOHA library system to see if it fits for our needs and purposes. Currently we have OLIB from OCLC as our Library system but we would like to explore other systems. At the moment I am doing some tests in a DEMO environment and I would like to know if there is a user friendly way to Catalogue new items where MARC tags do not necessary appear. By any chance is there anyone who can help me out.

Koha 17.11 popup windows
by Daniel Owens 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Working with 17.11 (after upgrading from 3.22 or some other earlier version, which version I cannot recall), in several places windows pop up unexpectedly. 1. Our librarian noticed this when she went to check a book out for a student. A window pops up called "Leave a message". The window cannot be closed. See the following screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ywtq2366hizpxsz/screencapture-check-out-popup.png… 2. The same thing happens when going to the saved SQL reports. I saw there were saved reports that needed updating (I see https://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha/commit/f22d2e7200ee8b35aff66b26acc3e…) so I did that, but the popup window continues. It shows "Loading" and a turning wheel that never stops. The window cannot be closed. I was wondering whether this behavior is related and whether I may have missed a step in upgrading the database. We can still use Koha, but the popup windows are annoying. Has anyone else experienced this and solved it? Daniel

SQL help - Bulk Card Number modification
by SATISH 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hi, With Koha 16.11.11 / Package Installation/ Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop with MySQL - mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.57 We use, students' register number as card number for circulation. And regarding bulk 'card number' modifications : I have a situation, where, first semester borrowers will only get 'permanent register number' during the time of examinations. Till that, I should manage borrowers' circulation with 'temporary card number' (assigned by me). After receiving 'permanent register number from the college office, I have to replace 'temporary number' by 'permanent card number'. Going editing/modifying each patron one by one is very tedious and time consuming, therefore, Is there any way I could use sql and some kind of script to replace card number? (at the terminal) Your suggesstions or best practices would be very helpful. Thank You. Satish MV Librarian Govt. Engineering College, Hassan www.gechassan.ac.in --

Outage for bugs.koha-community.org : Fwd: Linode Support Ticket 9818790 - Critical Maintenance for CPU Vulnerabilities (Meltdown)
by Chris Cormack 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

It looks like my linode which hosts bugs.koha-community.org and the dashboard and few other sites will be down for maintenance at 2018-01-19 9:00:00 AM UTC Chris ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <support(a)linode.com> Date: 18 January 2018 at 16:39 Subject: Linode Support Ticket 9818790 - Critical Maintenance for CPU Vulnerabilities (Meltdown) To: chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz Hello, A number of serious security vulnerabilities affecting multiple CPU architectures were recently disclosed by Google's Project Zero team as outlined in our blog post[1]. In order to address the disclosed vulnerabilities, the physical hardware on which your Linode resides will need to undergo maintenance. This is the first of several separate maintenances that will be necessary to fully mitigate these vulnerabilities. This maintenance specifically patches the Meltdown vulnerability; the Spectre vulnerability will be addressed in a future maintenance cycle. We will inform you of these maintenance cycles via additional tickets. Scheduled maintenance windows are listed within the Linode Manager[2] in the time zone that was configured in your user's My Profile[3]. The maintenance window of new Linodes and upgraded, migrated, or resized Linodes will be reflected in the Linode Manager[2], but you may not receive maintenance ticket updates for these changes. The following Linode(s) have now been assigned a maintenance window in which a reboot will occur. Please note that these times can change as a result of the actions mentioned above. At this time your reboot schedule in UTC is as follows: * 2018-01-19 9:00:00 AM UTC - bugs You can prepare your Linode for this maintenance by following our Reboot Survival Guide. By following this guide before your maintenance, you will be able to ensure that services running on your Linode are resumed properly. The Reboot Survival Guide is available here: https://www.linode.com/docs/uptime/reboot-survival-guide These updates affect the underlying infrastructure that your Linode resides on and will not affect the data stored within your Linode. To further protect your Linode, we strongly recommend that you verify it is configured to boot using our latest kernel, which includes patches to help address these vulnerabilities. If your Linode's Configuration Profile is set to utilize our latest kernel, your kernel will automatically be updated upon rebooting. During the maintenance window, your Linode will be cleanly shut down and will be unavailable while we perform the updates. A two-hour window is allocated, however the actual downtime should be much less. After the maintenance has concluded, each Linode will be returned to its last state (running or powered off). We regret the short notice and the downtime required for this maintenance. However, due to the severity of these vulnerabilities, we have no choice but to take swift and immediate action to ensure the safety and security of our customers. For these reasons, we must adhere to a strict timetable, and will not be able to reschedule or defer this maintenance. If you experience any issues following the maintenance, please feel free to reach out to us and we will be happy to assist. --Linode [1] <https://blog.linode.com/2018/01/03/cpu-vulnerabilities-meltdown-spectre> [2] <https://manager.linode.com> [3] <https://manager.linode.com/profile> --- https://manager.linode.com/support/ticket/9818790
