404 Error after upgrading to 25.04
by Giuseppe Angilella 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hi, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as reported by Beda in May 2024: After upgrading to Koha 25.04, several tables in opac do not load (including items, patrons, libraries ... ). The subject thread interrupts after a reported attempt to debug REST_API. Has a solution been found? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks and best regards, Giuseppe.

Hi, it looks like Elasticsearch might not be running or not be correctly installed/configured for your Koha installation. Unfortunately I don't know how to best debug this. Maybe others might be able to weigh in here.

Re: [Koha] Out of memory when Koha starts due to opac-search.pl and 500.pl
by David Cook 02 Aug '24

02 Aug '24

Hi Mike, It certainly sounds like a crawler/bot getting stuck in a loop. In your log there, I see the client IP address 190.92.203.86, which belongs to Huawei Cloud Singapore. I've seen a lot of bots/crawlers from Huawei Cloud Singapore hitting Australian Koha sites over the last 6 months or so. That 'AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/koha' error is interesting. If you look at /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/serve-cgi-bin.conf, you'll see that at a global level /cgi-bin/ is aliased to /usr/lib/cgi-bin. So if the crawler sent any HTTP requests using your IP address and not the hostname, they'd be caught by that directive instead of your name-based virtual host. Could be some other explanations for why the virtual host wasn't used, but overall that would explain that message. Anyway, it's not necessarily a Koha-specific issue. If you're not already using it, I'd suggest you look at installing and setting up something like fail2ban. That said, I have noticed the bots out of Huawei Cloud Singapore tend to cycle through a lot of different IP addresses, which does make things tricky. Sometimes, it'll just use one IP address that is easy to detect and block, but sometimes it might just do 1-2 hits per IP address (from a variety of different IP ranges). Let me know if you'd like to chat more about it.

That *may* have been the cause. The system is working OK at present. I did a complete shutdown and reboot. I did notice in the opac-error.log, which is now over 10 MB, a recurring query (see below) that was being made every 30 seconds. Exact same query, clearly automated. That seems to have ended now. cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=ccl%3Dau%3A%22James%2C%20Julia%20M.%22%20and%20itype%3ABK%20and%20su-to%3ACaves%20and%20ccode%3AArX%20and%20ccode%3AArX%20and%20holdingbranch%3AASFLIB%20and%20au%3AMartin%2C%20D.J.%20and%20au%3AWelch%2C%20Bruce%20R.%20and%20location%3AARC&sort_by=relevance_dsc&limit=available I was also getting these errors which were filling up the logs: [Fri Jul 12 21:24:30.948916 2024] [cgi:error] [pid 17819] [client 190.92.203.86:51260] AH02811: script not found or unable to stat: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/koha There is no such perl script $ dpkg -L koha-common | grep '/usr/lib/cgi-bin/' so I just created one to return "hello". Now our Koha instance is back up again and our VM is coping with the load. https://opac.caves.org.au Thanks for the reply. I'll make another separate post on another current opac-error.log error line, if it still persists, after I upgrade from 23.11.05 Mike ASF Sys Admin On 2024-07-13 7:34 pm, Katrin Fischer wrote: > Hi Mike, > > it might be that you are hit by a bad crawler/bot and need to block > access for them in your firewall.

Koha can't protect you from the perils of the daily grind at your library, but it can at least protect you from deleting a patron account by accident. If you have accounts that you want to prevent others from mistakenly deleting crucial accounts that you depend on for your Koha workflows, be sure to check out this episode. As an added bonus, George will show how to prevent unauthorized staff from changing the setting. He'll even whack them on the hand with a ruler (for an extra fee). https://youtu.be/M23YmpMQ6bI Sincerely, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin
