problems decompressing file koha-3.00.04_fixed.tar.gz
Hello, I'm having trouble decompressing the file downloaded from http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.00.04_fixed.tar.gz. I get an error message saying there's not enough disk space for the files, and this is NOT true, I have a couple of Gigabytes (and that is for sure, I have no doubt about this) and the message says I have 200 MB, 300 MB, even 0 Bytes! Every time I try decompressing it gives me a different number (a false one), and I have no idea why this happens. Could it be that the file is corrupt? I doubt it though, cause a professor gave me the link to download it so I guess he didn't have problems with it. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you all

First, dont use 3.0.4 thats a very old version of Koha :) Is there a reason your professor told you to download that version? The latest stable is 3.2.1 one, I would seriously suggest using it. http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.02.01.tar.gz If you must use a 3.0.x version 3.0.6 is the latest version of that. As for the file you linked, I downloaded it and untared it ok rorohiko:/tmp% tar xzf koha-3.00.04_fixed.tar.gz rorohiko:/tmp% But as I say, I can't think of any reason of using a version that is over a year out of date :) Chris

We need a bit more information before offering advice. 1. What operating system and version re you using? 2. What utility are you using to decompress the archive? 3. Can you get an archive listing ti ensure that the file is not corrupt? e.g. tar tfvz koha-3.00.04_fixed.tar.gz cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services aibohphobia - the fear of palindromes

the 1st thing to confirm is whether your downloaded file was corrupted, using its MD5 checksum $ md5sum ./koha-3.00.04_fixed.tar.gz 0d98c7d6a8049be5cea37f943d21e601 ./koha-3.00.04_fixed.tar.gz <<<<<<< SUCCESS!! http://download.koha-community.org/ http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.00.04_fixed.tar.gz.MD5
