I'd like to post my log regarding installing Koha both to document my experience and to get some feedback on snags I'm hitting: Steve Tonnesen Network Administrator Coast Mountains School District Terrace, BC CANADA ---- 1. Installed required Debian packages: install mysql-base, mysql-server, mysql-client, libmysqlclient6 packages install dbd and dbi packages libdbi-perl libdbd-mysql-perl install libdate-manip-perl package 2. downloaded and untarred koha-1.06.tar.gz databaseinstall.sh mysqlrootpass Koha kohausername kohauserpass This script created the database, tables, and access account perfectly. 3. Edited scripts/C4/Database.pm with kohausername and kohauserpass Also had to set name of database to 'Koha' <-- wasn't documented in INSTALL file 4. Edited scripts/C4/Output.pm set $path to location of includes I used /usr/local/koha/librarian/htdocs/includes 5. Copied C4 directory to /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux 6.

Populated Database Tables: insert into aqbookfund values ('1', 'Annual Book Budget', 'DIST'); insert into aqbookfund values ('2', 'Fund Raising', 'SCH'); insert into aqbookfund values ('3', 'Textbooks', 'SCH'); insert into aqbudget values ('1', '2000-12-01', '2001-12-01', 5500); insert into aqbudget values ('2', '2000-12-01', '', 1200); insert into aqbudget values ('3', '2000-12-01', '2001-12-01', 8000); insert into branches values ('STWE', 'Stewart Elementary School', '4523 Sea Way', 'Stewart, BC', 'V0T 1W0', '250 636 2241', '250 636 2544', 'jsnair@cmsd.bc.ca', 0); insert into branches values ('SHE', 'South Hazelton Elementary School', '4521 21st Ave.', 'South Hazelton, BC', 'V0J 2R0', '250 842 6688', '250 842 5153', 'stonnesen@cmsd.bc.ca', 0); Some problems that I have encountered thus far: 1. When adding entries to basket, link to supplier points to whitcouls.html which is supposed to be a demo page, I gather, but doesn't exist in any case. 2. When viewing basket, total is always $16.95 (hard coded in basket.pl) and subtotal, gst and total are always blank. 3. When receiving an order, I can select the book that was received from the order and enter the appropriate information, but clicking on the "Save Changes" link on the next page returns an error (tries to load /cgi-bin/koha/acqui/, which is a directory, not a script).

Right you are, Will fix this up also.
2. When viewing basket, total is always $16.95 (hard coded in basket.pl) and subtotal, gst and total are always blank.
Hmm, yep, need to sort that out also

Weird, broken redirect in the script it sounds like. Acqusitions is the area with the most bugs at the moment, and thus the area im working on at the moment. I hope to have a lot of fixes included in v1.07 which i hope to release around this friday. Thanks for taking the time to document your install, and point out the problems. Its really helpful.
