Please help this newbie :)
Hello. Thank you for adding me to this mailing list. I have a question. I am a sysadmin in St Petersburg, Russia and we are in the process of moving to Koha. So I am a newbie :) I chosed the unimarc option as our database is in rusmarc. We have our database in .mrc format, it is about 27 000 books in cyrilic, english and german. I was able to setup koha import that database but the search function does not work. I did a lot of googling, i tried kooha 16.05, 16.11, 17.05 on Debain 8 and 9 but without avail... Any help will be truly appreciated! as i am truly stuck.
Hello Johan, I'd suggest following the instructions as per in the documentation: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Zebra#Searching_and_Sea... Namely, does connecting with yaz work? yaz-client -c /etc/koha/zebradb/ccl.properties unix:/var/run/koha/ *<INSTANCE_NAME>*/bibliosocket Or have you tried searching after a zebra rebuild? koha-rebuld-zebra -f -v *<INSTANCE_NAME>* GL, Pedro Amorim On 4 December 2017 at 07:35, Johan Seyfferdt <johan@spbcu.ru> wrote:

Hi Johan, with the default configuration Koha won't search for records with non-latin characters correctly, but this can be fixed - you will have to switch to ICU for indexing. Instructions can be found on the wiki: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_chains_configuration If it doesn't work at all, even for your German and English records, there might be another problem. Did you specify UNIMARC when creating the instance (defaults to MARC21)? Or only in the web installer? If the first was missed, your indexing configuration won't match your data which could also explain problems. Hope this helps, Katrin On 04.12.2017 09:35, Johan Seyfferdt wrote:

Hello Katrin Thank you so much for your response. None of our records works including German and English. I specified unimarc only in the web-installer. I honestly do not know where to specify unimarc in the creation of the instance. Here is all the installation commands I used until the web installer point (in debian 8): su wget -q -O- http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | apt-key add - echo 'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha stable main' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list apt-get update echo 'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 17.05 main' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list apt-get update apt-get install koha-common mysql-server apache2 Configure Apache a2enmod rewrite a2enmod cgi Configure apache nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf and add Listen 8080 Listen 8081 /etc/init.d/apache2 restart create library koha-create --create-db libraryname Retrieve the admin username and password nano /etc/koha/sites/libraryname/koha-conf.xml <config> <db_scheme>mysql</db_scheme> <user>[system generated]</user> <pass>[Some password generated by the system]</pass> nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/namelibrary.conf # OPAC <VirtualHost *:8080> # Intranet <VirtualHost *:8081> add russian language sudo koha-translate --list koha-translate --list --available koha-translate --install ru-RU On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 11:20 PM, Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer.83@web.de> wrote:

Hello Thank you for all the support. I truly appreciate it. I am now at the point where I installed koha and I am able to search in English and German but not yet in Russian. Katrin has send me a link on how to do it, but unfortunately I don't understand how to apply it correctly. Any help will be truly appreciated. I really appreciate all the help and support.

We got the russian search to work, i call it like the first edition, we will test it, most probalby get more help, to maybe improve it, and would love to give our work back to those who need it. Thank you so much for all the help and the great wiki. I most probably will ask more questions in the future! Johan On Tue, Dec 5, 2017 at 6:09 PM, Johan Seyfferdt <johan@spbcu.ru> wrote:
