My library is migrating its Koha database to a new server. I have found instructions on both YouTube and static sources. But the instructions are not perfectly clear to me and I have a few questions. (1) How do you find out the password to MySQL? (2) Does it matter whether you are running MySQL or MariaDB? (3) Is "koha_library" a fixed phrase? Or is it the name of the Koha instance you are migrating, e.g., if your library is named ASDLIB, do you use "koha_library" or "ASDLIB"? (4) If you are running ElasticSearch, are there complications and if so, what are they and their solutions? (5) How does Zebra factor into all this? I'm trying to avoid * reentering frameworks; * downloading MRC files of the authority records and bibliographic records and uploading them into the new server because of suspected linkage problems between the authority records and $9 subfields in the bibliographic records; * reentering system preferences; * reentering patron information; and so forth. Thank you very much. -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.
