Greetings,
I installed with a tarball. I would like to use the packages. Is there a simple way to change from tarball installation to packages installation?
Yes, there is. :) I haven't done this before, but there is a wiki page: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Moving_an_installation_from_a_regular_in... What I did was: 1) backup my DB (for example -- make sure to change the dbuser and dbname parts): $ mysqldump -u <dbuser> -p <dbname> > mybackup.sql 2) a fresh install of the OS and the packages install up to and including the koha-create. 3) put my old db in place (for example -- make sure to change the instancename part): $ sudo koha-mysql <instancename> < mybackup.sql 4) Then I continued the packages installation. The web install step did the database scheme upgrades. Granted, this is much easier when going from 3.4 or higher to current stable (3.8.x). Prior to 3.4.x, there would be a couple more commands to do. GPML, Mark Tompsett
