Hello All, thanks for the help given me so far. I've got the new server up and koha 2.2.5 is installed. I've inserted my old database into the new server using: mysql -uroot -p Koha < 2006_09_21_koha.sql And I've run: sudo ./updatedatabase from the koha-2.2.5/scripts/updater/ folder. It appears as if all my data is there, however, it does not show up properly when searched for in the opac. Attached are two screen shots. koha_search1.tiff shows how the search results are displayed on our old server (which of course is still running). koha_search2.tiff shows how it shows up on the new server. Blank, but still showing four results. This is very odd behavior. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time. Matthew Metzger Matthew Metzger wrote:

I am wondering the same thing, except I'm doing it on another machine just in case I make a mistake and it doesn't work.

Can I use the database dump from 2.2.4 and restore it into Koha 2.2.5? Will there be any problems with doing that? Or should I install the same version of Koha as my old system, restore the database, and then upgrade to 2.2.5?

thanks for any thoughts you may have.

I'm about to shift the server that currently runs Koha 2.2.3 from fedora Core 2 to Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I propose to use the opportunity to upgrade to the latest Koha (2.2.5). I'm proposing to do this as follows:

1. Dump Koha database 2. Wipe machine 3. Install Ubuntu 4. Install Koha pre-requisites 5. Install virgin Koha 2.2.5 6. Restore Koha database from (1)

Does this look reasonable? Or should I restore the original database between (4) and (5) and let the installation have its wicked way with it?

Help and advice very welcome.

Thanks
