When setting up a Koha server using the debian packages is the koha configuration all stored in the mysql database? I would be very happy if that wasn't the case, as I then could track my configuration follies using a VCS as git ...

Actually, quite a bit of the critical Koha config is stored in plain-text or as XML markup, starting with koha-conf.xml, the apache2 site specific configs, the bib1 attributes definitions etc. For things that are stored in MySQL, I take sql dumps at different point in time (which working) and store that. Whenever, I need to look at what changed, I run a diff between the respective SQL dumps. Not the most elegant approach, but it gets my job done. Also, the sql dumps allow me to revert to a specific configuration. The things I dump out at are typically sysprefs, marc tag and structure tables, the categories, stopwords etc just to give an example.. cheers -indra -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
