Hi Franck, Thank you for your detailed explanation.I followed INSTALL.fedora7 guide.. However i encountered failure on some of the steps. For example: 1. when i install CPAN::MARC::File::XML or Net:Z3950:Zoom,i got the below error message Failed 1/22 test programs. 1/706 subtests failed. make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255 MIRK/Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.25.tar.gz /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK //hint// to see the cpan-testers results for installing this module, try: reports MIRK/Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.25.tar.gz Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force How do i resolve this issue before i continue with the remaining steps? Thank you!! Hi Tony, To install Koha 3.0.1 on Centos 5.2, you can mostly follow the installation guide for Fedora 7 (INSTALL.fedora7 in koha tarball). Yet you'll need to adapt it slightly, especially because not all packages are available in CentOS repository. Add rpmforge yum repository [See http://www.ultranetsolutions.com/CentOS-5-install-rpmforge-yum-repo.html Or http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge ] The most tedious part is installation of Perl required packages. When it fails to install using cpan you can try to install the rpm instead. Make sure to install perl-XML-SAX-Expat as there is an issue with perl-XML-SAX with wide characters I installed successfully idzebra 2.0-2.0.32 and yaz 3.0.32-1 from http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/redhat/fc6/ and http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/yaz/redhat/fc6/ At the end of installation, you need to create a symbolic link from /usr/bin/zebraidx to /usr/bin/zebraidx-2.0 and from /usr/bin/zebrasrv to /usr/bin/zebrasrv-2.0 and to install daemon (http://libslack.org/daemon/). Otherwise you won't be able to use the start/stop scripts installed in /usr/share/koha/bin. Add the following two comment lines to koha-zebra-ctl.sh (after #!/bin/bash) # chkconfig: 12345 98 02 # description: Zebrasvr provides search service to koha And the following to koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh # chkconfig: 12345 99 01 # description: Zebraqueue process the biblio & authorities to be indexed And create two symbolic links /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon -> /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebraqueue-daemon -> /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh This way you can add the two start/stop scripts as services chkconfig --add koha-zebra-daemon chkconfig --add koha-zebraqueue-daemon Regards Franck -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Koha-on-CentOS-5.2-tp23364598p23420142.html Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi Tony, The error probably means a required library is missing. Make sure the following packages are installed : perl-XML-SAX perl-XML-SAX-Base perl-XML-SAX-Expat perl-XML-LibXML Install yaz before Net::Z3950::ZOOM Franck -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of ahtshun83 Sent: 07 May 2009 15:47 To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha on CentOS 5.2 Hi Franck, Thank you for your detailed explanation.I followed INSTALL.fedora7 guide..
