Hello all. I did everything as you said. I also changed the fine date to 1 day and grace period none. I changed the cron settings for fines.pl from 5min 1hr * * * * to 5min * * * * *. What is next I should do??? How do I run cron forcefully right now and make the fines.pl run??? What else do I need to do??? Please Help.

Crontab settings are necessary for fine calculation and other related task scheduling. To make Koha cronjobs functional, follow the steps, Open a terminal and try the commands,
localhost:~# su localhost:~# cd /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs localhost:~# crontab -u root crontab.example localhost:~# crontab -u username crontab.example
Above mentioned steps should be try after the Koha installation.
localhost:~# crontab -e
change the following values there,
# ENVIRONMENT: PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
# Some additional variables to save you typing KOHA_CRON_PATH = /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs
Remember to save the file.
