Re: [Koha] Koha 2.29, HTTP 500 internal server error with Amazon AWS
Thank you. Now all I need help with is figuring out how on earth I completely missed the "AmazonAssocTag" field when it's right there under the OPAC tab. On Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 4:07 PM, Magnus Enger <magnus@enger.priv.no> wrote:
Hi!
Looks like you need to provide Koha with two pieces of information in the preferences: AmazonAssocTag and AWSAccessKeyID (Access Key ID - if you do not provide this you will not be getiting the Amazon Reviews). See http://aws.amazon.com/ for info on how to get these.

Hello all,
Please cc this email to my email address as I am not subscribed to the list. I would subscribe, but I am setting up Koha for a friend's community elementary school's library, but have no library of my own. :)
Problem is: When I enable AWS (Amazon Web Services) with "AmazonContent = 1", any attempt to view a book from search is met with the familiar:
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." (etc.)
An example of a URL that crashes Koha is this: http://KOHA_SERVER/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=5338
(So the problem seems to be in opac-detail.pl)
----------
When I execute opac-detail.pl directly in the command line:
# export PERL5LIB=/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules # /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac-detail.pl
I get:
could not retrieve
AsinSearch= at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Amazon.pm line 64. Could not find opac-detail.xml in /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/ at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Amazon.pm line 66
----------
No log files mention anything special other than the access log, which is pretty worthless:
# cat opac-access_log (...) 10.0.0.196 - - [22/Jul/2008:22:22:25 -0600] "GET /cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=5338 HTTP/1.1" 500 663
----------
The setup: Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with most recent updates Koha 2.2.9 Apache ID string: "Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.2 with Suhosin-Patch Server at 10.0.0.161 Port 80" Perl v5.8.8
----------
So it looks like either Amazon isn't providing some XML file, or the request generated by Koha is not correct. Either way, I think it's extremely bad that the results of a request to an external website (Amazon.com) had the effect of basically "crashing" Koha. I think Koha really ought to handle this, though I don't actually know if it's something Koha can prevent.
So the question is: How do I get AWS to work with Koha?
Best regards,
Charles Burns
