If you wish to reinstall Koha but keep your cataloged records ( and you are okay with losing circulation data ), your best bet is to export via Tools -> Export bibliographic and holdings data, then import into a fresh installation using the Stage MARC Record import tools. Note that you will have to have your branch codes defined as well as authorized values for item status fields. If you only want to reset the system preferences, they are contained in a sql file in the installer directory of your installation (after backing up your database ( with mysqldump --single-transaction *) ), access the mysql client and issue the sql statement: delete from systempreferences; then from the commandline, reinstall the default systempreferences: mysql -uKOHAUSER -pKOHAPASSWD kohadbname < KOHAROOT/installer/data/mysql/en/mandatory/sysprefs.sql * Do note that when using mysqldump to back up Koha's innodb tables, you should use the --single-transaction flag to ensure data consistency across tables. Hope that helps Ryan On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 5:24 AM, Ramon Andinach <custard@westnet.com.au> wrote:
Hi there,
Is it possible to reset the prefrences?
Or alternately, can koha be reinstalled in such a way that the records are not lost?
