problem installing Koha on ubuntu virtualbox
by Zac Craven 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hello I am trying to install Koha following these instructions: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages My host machine is Windows 8, and Ubuntu is running on it inside Oracle Virtualbox. I have no idea what to input as the DOMAIN in /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf I also don't know what domain to put in /etc/hosts I have done this, as a guess: ** /etc/hosts ** 127.0.0.1 locahost 127.0.1.1 ubuntuhost 127.0.0.1 library.ubuntuhost 127.0.0.1 library-intra.ubuntuhost ** /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf ** DOMAIN="" Now, when I input "192.168.1.68" or "ubuntuhost" in the browser on my windows PC, I get the "it works" message from apache on ubuntu. But if I input "library.ubuntuhost" or "library.ubuntuhost:80" then it times out. I can ping "library.ubuntuhost" from ubuntu command prompt but not from the windows host machine. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Zac Craven

Experiences with migrating from Aleph to Koha?
by Magnus Enger 30 Nov '13

30 Nov '13

Dear Community! I'm writing on behalf of a library that currently uses Aleph, and is a bit curious about Koha. They want to know if there are any libraries that have made the switch, and what the experience was like. I guess this falls into two categories: - How smooth was the migration? - How big was the leap, in terms of functionality, features etc They would also be interested in which modules of Aleph were used before the change. If you answer me on or off the list I will forward the answers to the library in question, or put you in touch with them for further communication. Best regards, Magnus Enger libriotech.no

Re: [Koha] Koha live dvd 3.14.00

LIVE DVD is also good for small library singe user applications too. I have recommenced it to several Archives that are internal to an organization. Keep up the good work!

I asked some people about live dvd, and i agree about using live DVD for testing and for education, not for production (the biggest reason, i think, is security). So i left everything as default, no more modification and no more feature. http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha-latest/ If anyone has any ideas or requires, please tell me. And from now, i will make an live dvd for each Koha version 3.14.x. Best regards!

Search record not found
by Public Library 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

I am currently having a problem with two records. The records are entered correctly and can be found by performing keywords search. The problem is when the complete title is entered example " Trinidad and Tobago : terrific and tranquil " the record is not found. Removing the space on any side of the colon, takes you directly to the record. This is our OPAC http://www.library.dlis.gov.dm/ I have re-entered the record with the same result and have also performed a manual zebra rebuild. Any tips or advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you -- Dominica Library and Information Service Tel. #: 1-767-266-3341/3355 Email: publiclibrarysdi(a)gmail.com URL: http://www.dlis.gov.dm

Phone notification system & Koha
by Susan O'Neal 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

We are stumped! Migrating from Classic Dynix to Koha is scheduled for 9/09 and we need a system to replace the old Telecirc system sold to us by Dynix. Actually, the software is an older version of Edify. Is there an open source system that anyone can recommend? Or an off-the-shelf system that is robust enough that we can modify/customize? The functionality must include ability to phone customers with a computerized voice message to let them know of items on hold ready to be picked up, and of items overdue. It also has the capacity to receive calls and renew items according to our policies. This is more than the average drs office that calls with appointment reminders- must be able to link approx 250,000 item and 40,000 borrower records. Suggestions welcome!
