Koha Rebuild - Looking for the man behind the curtain
I'm installing a new Koha Server on Unbuntu o replace a dying server and I thought I could get some pointers here concerning the process. I have loaded Unbuntu 12.04 LTS Server and will be installing the Koha package on the server tomorrow. After I install the Koha package, I'm wanting to know how I can configure the Koha server to act like the one I'm replacing. Does anyone have any documentation on moving a Koha install to another server? Thanks for any help. Phillip

The main things you'll want to do are: 1. load the data dump from your old system in to the new one, and 2. configure Apache so that it behaves the same as your previous installation. My usual process for this sort of thing is: 1. dump data from the old database and turn it off (so no one tries to use it.) 2. set up the new server, install the packages, set up koha-sites.conf, create an empty instance (sudo koha-create --create-db libraryname) 3. load the data in (cat oldserver.sql | sudo koha-mysql libraryname will usually work. If not, sudo koha-mysql libraryname and then use \. to load the file - the second method is more forgiving.) 4. edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/libraryname to reflect the configuration you want 5. hit your staff client, especially important if there's a difference in the versions, as it'll run the database update 6. Run koha-rebuild-zebra -v --full libraryname 7. move the DNS entries for the library to the new one That should be all it takes really. Obviously, replace libraryname with the name of your library. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
