Re: Koha on etch - a pain?
Hi Pablo
I had installed successfully installed Koha v2.2.5 and v2.2.9 on Debian etch and now on a Lenny, following the guidelines for Debian sarge on www.kohadocs.org.
I followed that useful document too. I managed to install 2.2.7 on sarge and I managed to upgrade that to 2.2.9 also. But I didn't give much attention to the enconding problem. So I wanted to start all over again and do it properly. (I need a good utf-8 support on Koha because I think that's the only way I can upload my old bibliographical data - I even managed to do so).
The changes are minimal.
When did you do your install? Some weeks ago or more than two months? Because I have the feeling the problem has to do with new versions of some perl modules. By the way: Could you do a little test for me? Retrieving a record with the z3950-search I get the data entered in latin1 into the MARC-framework. But I'm quite sure the server delivers the record in utf8 (I checked with MarcEdit). So if you could search ISBN 3170183338 on server aleph.unibas.ch port 9909 database IDS_UTF language MARC21 you should get a title with ü and ä in it. With me the two letters are represented with ? and only if I change the display-encoding in the firefox they appear correctly. I would be most grateful to hear what you get.
Sorry, I couldn't understand where is the problem on the logs you sent. If you install it without problem and then it comes using Koha, I think the problem might be the mysql database. Are you sure you have the right permissions for all the tables?
Yes. I can see everything. I can manage alterations in the sytem parameters. The only thing witch for me didn't work until now is addbiblio Thank you and greetings Beda

Remember, you can find the perl modules which last worked for me at http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/ (at least until I move them and put a redirect in place very soon...). I'll test the offered things on a new etch koha install as soon as I get a few minutes spare...

I was aware of that too. Let me describe my current situation: Right now I have koha running on two different servers (both running debian etch at the moment). On the first one I had installed debian sarge, then the basic installation of koha 2.2.8, when 2.2.9 came out I upgraded koha. Most things seemed to work fine so I started with some configuration work for koha. Some weeks ago I did an upgrade to debian etch. Koha is still working fine. My problem with server 1 was that I didnt have a very good internet connection from there so I considered using a second server witch has better internet connection. On this one I hade installed debian sarge too. This time I did the upgrade to debian etch _before_ I installed koha 2.2.9. After the problems I with the installation process because of marc-xml (mentioned earlier on this list) I installed your packages and was able to install koha. But the add-biblio-thing didn't work. Two weeks ago I tried to erase everything related to koha and the corresponding perl-modules and did a new install of koha 2.2.9 witch went all right. But I had still the same problem (I only added some borrower-categories, some itemtypes and library branches, but didn't change anything in the MARC-structure). Since on my first server koha is still fine I continued to work on that one. But I would like to know what the reason for this problem is because it seems that I am not the only one experimenting that. I have the impression that the upgrade process sarge->etch has something to do with this. I hope to be able to try and do a test install of a new etch and koha on the weekend and will tell you. I still have some problems with z39.50 search. But that's an other question. Greetings Beda
