advice on re-installing (in order to fix utf8 issues)?
Hello all, We have a mostly running Koha 3.00 installation that has had continuing problems with indexing failing due to the presence of wide characters in records. These wide characters seem to originate from both our imports of marc records and attempted imports of Z39.50 searches. I'm wondering if I should take advantage of the new 3.0.1 release to do a new install. We do not use zebra for indexing since we're a small library. This may have been a poor decision. Looking over this doc: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad and comparing it to our mysql database it looks as if the encoding is set up wrong. According to this doc: "You must create your Koha database after you set the character set defaults otherwise the database could be set to the wrong defaults " If I do a new install I will install on a different machine. We're using ubuntu now, but we can easily use a different Linux distro. I notice that the docs seem to be oriented toward fedora or debian. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
Did anybody encounter the idconfig problem while installing Koha on ubuntu 8.04? The error message I got is as follows: dpkg -i libssl0.9.7_0.9.7g-5ubuntu1.1_i386.deb (Reading database ... 38725 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-5ubuntu1.1 (using libssl0.9.7_0.9.7g-5ubuntu1.1_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement libssl0.9.7 ... Setting up libssl0.9.7 (0.9.7g-5ubuntu1.1) ... Processing triggers for libc6 ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place I understand it might be some missing files or directory. I used: strace -o output.txt /sbin/ldconfig to look at the result of ldconfig, but could not figure out how to trouble shoot. Any body with superior knowledge than me, please, can you suggest some possible solutions? Thanks in advance.
