Koha Post Installation setup Questions
Hi All, I installed Koha 3.00.03 this summer on a computer running OS X Server 10.5. After some initial difficulty getting the installation (documented), things seem to be running smoothly, but being my first Koha install, there are a few things that I still have questions about. 1. The library was previously using a Follet system and the archivist imported the MARC records into Koha. I didn't see any errors on the import, but it appears that a number of the records don't show up in the OPAC search. Additionally, some records show up in the intranet search but not OPAC, and some don't show up at all. I've run the rebuild_nozebra script a couple of times, but that doesn't seem to help. I've been looking at the koha error logs and these are the messages that seem to repeat most often: opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-search.pl line 418., referer: http://koha-catalog.stmchs.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl [Thu Aug 20 13:02:13 2009] opac-detail.pl: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 1132., referer: http://koha-catalog.stmchs.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=mark+twain (the second error repeats for other queries as well) 2. I seem to be having an error with the Amazon web images as well. Images appear if they were previously listed in our old Follet records, but koha doesn't seem to be pulling any new ones. I'm going to try signing up for a new Amazon web services account just in case, but I wasn't sure if there is anything in particular I should be looking for in the logs. Does anybody know which port the requests are made for the web services? I'm beginning to wonder if it is a firewall issue that may be blocking things. Thanks, Joe Fahs

Amazon cover images are loaded directly from Amazon's servers through an img tag, so it's plain http. They're pulled based on ISBN. Is it possible there is a problem with the ISBN data for your new records? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
Does LibraryThing have covers, yet?

LibraryThing for Libraries (which is offered as an option through Koha) does have covers. But that's a separate service you need to read more about here: http://librarything.com/forlibraries On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Scott Kushner<skushner@mtpl.org> wrote:

Also there are LT APIs that let you get cover info back from LT - but none are implemented into Koha - that I know of. Here's that info: http://www.librarything.com/services/ Nicole On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 2:35 PM, Nicole Engard<nengard@gmail.com> wrote:
