Early morning KOHA problem
by Jezzine Library 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Greetings My small library has been happily using KOHA for about 6 months now, but one problem has persisted. First ting is the morning the contents of the catalogue are 'undiscoverable'. They remain so until our IT Guru resets something in the back of the program (which takes about 5 seconds, & one day, he says, even *I* will be able to do it.....) I would much rather have a solution! Even items I catalogue before the reset are undiscoverable once I hit save, even though they turn up quite happily once the reset is done. Our IT Guru is professionally trained and has worked internationally for recognised organisations and this is driving him crazy as he set up KOHA for me is about 30 seconds flat with this as his only problem. He is more than willing to 'talk tech' to anyone who thinks they can help. I have tried logging out properly, not logging out at all, changing username and password, turning the whole machine off and on.....

[Fwd: Koha Image Installation]
by Via Vitae Solutions 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Hi, I am having a problem while installing an image of Koha 16.05.05.000 to another machine. The Problem is while i am writing localhost:<port> or localhost at the address bar to start koha, it is telling me "Unable to connect". Again while i am starting my apache2 service through command line, it is failing, giving an error - " AH0543: apache2: bad user name library-koha Action 'configtest' failed. ". But after adding a new user, my koha is running well and good. But i got this issue in koha 16.05.05.000, not in the older versions. I want to know how can i get rid of this situation. Why am I adding a new user, why the image which i took from the machine is not appropriate? If you can help me out from this situation, then i will be grateful. -- Via Vitae Solutions Kolkata - 700064 India -- Via Vitae Solutions Kolkata - 700064 India

No Zebra indexing - missing field "biblioitems.marc"
by Michael Kuhn 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Hi I have a new installation of Koha 16.11.01 on Debian GNU/Linux 8, using Koha instance "phsh". I was able to successfully load 76'216 data records in format MARCXML using script "bulkmarcimport.pl". "select count(*) from biblio" shows 76'216 hits in my database. Now I try to index these records in Zebra. To be sure I have restarted the Koha daemon as follows. $ sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common stop $ sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common start Then I try to index my records using the following command: $ sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v phsh But all I get is 76'216 lines like the following: ... .error retrieving biblio 76215 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 713. .error retrieving biblio 76216 at /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl line 713. Records exported: 0 Actually absolutely NOTHING is exported and consequently, nothing is indexed by Zebra. I looked into script "rebuild_zebra.pl" at line 713 - some lines before I found the statement "SELECT marc FROM biblioitems WHERE biblionumber = ?" but in the current database schema http://schema.koha-community.org/16_11/tables/biblioitems.html there is no such field "marc" in table "biblioitems"! There was such a field in Koha 16.05 and older versions though. Can anyone please tell me what's wrong here and how to overcome this problem? Best wishes: Michael

Z39.50 non-Latin Characters not imported correctly
by Jane Chang 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Hi all! I'm new to the mailing list. It's nice to be in the community where we can get support from each other. I am having a problem with retrieving non-Latin Marc records from Z39.50. I had no problem with it before upgrading to KOHA 3.18. After upgrading to 3.18, non-Latin characters were shown in squares and boxes when retreiving Marc records from Z39.50. I thought it was just a bug or something in that KOHA version. However, recently we've upgraded to 16.05.07, and this problem still exists. Does anyone know what might have gone wrong during the upgrade process? Is there a way to solve this? Thanks!

Oh you're right he only sent it to me probably by mistake as he was addressing to you. Have a good one, Hughes Quoting Marc: ------------- Hello Hughes, Have a look at system preference itemBarcodeFallbackSearch [Enable] the automatic use of a keyword catalog search if the phrase entered as a barcode on the checkout page does not turn up any results during an item barcode search.

Thanks for stepping in and correcting me Marc, I was unaware of that system preference and functionality in Koha. I've tried it and works great. Cheers, Pedro Amorim
