Fresh Koha 3.0 install -- z39.50 search errors
Good day, everybody. I have several questions about my Koha 3.0 fresh installation. I have installed Koha 3 (stable) on ubuntu 8.04 using debian etch installation manual. Koha is running now, but I have some problems: 1) On Release notes page (http://koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1218407616.html) there is written that Koha is fully translated to many languages including Russian (I reside in Moscow, Russia). But it is partially translated. Is it a mistake? 2) Koha 3.0 documentation says: "By default Koha comes with a connection to the Library of Congress catalog" (Look here: http://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home/Table-of-Contents/adm...). But when I loaded Z39.50 configuration page for the first time -- it was blank. No Z39.50 servers are added by default during installation. Is it a bug? 3) I added new Z39.50 server for searching (the server of Library of Congress -- z3950.loc.org), but searching returns nothing saying that nothing was found or gives away with an error:
The following fatal error has occurred:
substr outside of string at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Charset.pm line 241.
Well, which search engine does Koha 3.0 use? I've read about z3950daemon:
IMPORTANT: The z3950search will NOT work until your system administrator has activated the z3950 client daemon on your server. The daemon is in KohaDirectory/script/z3950daemon. It should be added to rc.d to be launched during server boot.
but there is no script/ directory in /usr/share/koha/ and in whole subtree! How can I fix Z39.50 search? Thanks.

Did you tick the sample_z3950_servers box during installation? I think it's ticked by default, but it is optional.

Is that the whole error? I'm not sure, but that looks like what happens when I selected UNIMARC by mistake and it couldn't find a required subfield - z3950.loc.org is a MARC21 server.

Where did you read that? z3950daemon is for koha 2, not 3. Hope that helps, -- MJ Ray (slef) Webmaster for hire, statistician and online shop builder for a small worker cooperative http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ (Notice http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html) tel:+44-844-4437-237

Sorry for sending private mail :-).

Well, a haven't seen anything about z3950 during install :-). I mean I don't remember.

In Koha 3.0 draft manual. Exactly here: http://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home/Table-of-Contents/adm... (almost at the bottom of a page). Ok. What is used to do z39.50 searches? Zebra? Thanks.

Koha does the searches by itself; nothing else is needed. All you have to do is add them under Administration. -- Jesse Weaver Software Developer, LibLime
