Dear all, I want to run the koha for two different databases in two different ip addresses in the same computer. I have two databases already which are "koha" and "book" and also two different xml and httpd-conf files for the same. Here, I can add the marc records into the second database "book" having configuration files as "book-conf.xml" and "book-httpd.conf"; which is also shown in mysql for the newly added biblio, but the problem is when i run the zebra server and try to search the added catalogue from the staff client, it doesnot show. It is showing the records from the first database "koha" only while it has to be shown from second database "book" instead. How can i run zebra server for two different databases "koha" and "book" addressed at two different ip addresses in the same computer. The procedure that i have done are mentioned below in detail. To use multiple databases: Modify the /etc/network/interfaces file to bind multiple ip addresses to the ethernet interface. After much trial and error I wound up with this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo eth1 eth1:0 eth1:1 iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.133 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.10 iface eth1:0 inet static address 192.168.1.139 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.21.10 iface eth1:1 inet static address 192.168.1.140 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This creates three static addresses on the same interface eth1. Using phpmyadmin or the MySQL command line, login as kohaadmin and create the new database. You need to dump the structure of the koha database and then import it into the new databases. To dump the database use mysqldump . At the command line, create a new directory and cd into it. Then enter: mysqldump -u kohaadmin -p koha > kohaout.sql You enter the password for kohaadmin, and this creates an sql file of the koha database. Create the new databases using phpmyadmin or the mysql command line - example below. Start the mysql command line utility with: mysql -u kohaadmin -p After you enter your password, this gives you a mysql prompt. Then enter: show databases; to see the list of databases. To create one enter: create database <new db name>; Then change to that dataabase: use <new DB name>; This command will import all the koha structure into the new database: source kohaout.sql; quit gets you out of the MySql utility and back to the command line. Next you copy the config files. Change to the /etc/koha directory, and copy the koha-conf.xml and koha-httpd-conf files using the new name of your database. So if your database is named "book", you now have book-conf.xml and book-httpd.conf. Edit the book-conf.xml file, and change the name of the database. You should find this near the end of the file under the <config> section. Edit the book-httpd.conf file and make the following changes: Edit the VirtualHost entry and change the name to one of the IP addresses you bound to the network interface - using a different address for each configuration/database. So your entry looks like <VirtualHost 192.168.1.139:50180> for the OPAC and <VirtualHost 192.168.1.139:50188> for the staff client. The IP addresses need to be in the interfaces config file, and the ports (after the :) are from the address range 50000 - 63535. These are unassigned ports in the internet scheme, and since they will be used only on the internal network can be whatever you like. The normal koha ports are the standard http port 80 for the OPAC and 8080 for the staff client. Further down in each VirtualHost section find the SetEnv KOHA_CONF declaration. Change the file to the new one, in our example "/etc/koha/book-conf.xml". You need to change this in two places, one for each VirtualHost section. Change to the /etc/apache2 directory and edit the ports.conf file. Add the new ports you just put into the VirtualHost directives 50180 and 50188 in our example. If you want to use the default koha database, also add 8080 - the default staff client port. You need to add symbolic links for the httpd.conf file and enable the site, so as above you do: ln -s /etc/koha/book-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/book a2ensite koha Then restart Apache - /etc/init.d/apache2 reload If you have done all your edits correctly, apache will reload without any errors. Browse to the new IP address - i.e. 192.168.1.139:50180 and you should see the koha opac screen. Browse to the staff client - 192.168.21.139:50188 and you should get that screen. Login as kohaadmin. with regards, Mohan Raj Pradhan HEALTHNET NEPAL KATHMANDU, NEPAL
