I just installed a new Koha system for a Children’s library for my church and I'm having trouble adding biblio records. Koha 2.2.9 Debian 2.6.18-5-686 mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.32, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 Perl 5.008008 Apache 2 I'm trying to look up MARC records via the z3950 interface and then add them using the "Add Bibliographic Record and go to Items" button. When I try to add a record, the Biblio script fails and I get a -document save- dialog box in my browser with an option to save an addbiblio.pl file. I loked at the /usr/local/koha/log/koha-error_log file and discovered that I the last entry has a problem in Biblio.pm at line 1440. I then looked at the Biblio.pm file and line 1440 and the line is ---->$record->delete_field($old_field);<----- I've gone through this scenario many times now and get consistent errors importing from several z3950 sources and using several different books. I found lots of posts with similar problems that refer to line 1440 but unfortunately, no solutions... Some threads suggest that it might be an Apache problem and others suggest that this may be related to the format of the MARC record we are trying to import. Has anyone solved this one? I'm running out of leads on what to check next. I'm tempted to reinstall but I would prefer to trach down the issue and document the solution since so many people seem to be running into the same problem. Thanks in advance for your help, JL Crossroads Community Church Fishers IN Here's an excerpt from the script and error log file... Biblio.pm line 1430 - 1440 # biblionumber & biblioitemnumber are in the same field (can't be <10 as fields <10 have only 1 value) } else { my $newfield = MARC::Field->new( $tagfield1, '', '', "$tagsubfield1" => $oldbibnum, "$tagsubfield2" => $oldbibitemnum ); # drop old field and create new one... my $old_field = $record->field($tagfield1); $record->delete_field($old_field);
