Hi, Its beginning to sound like there are enough changes in the Koha beta that its worth doing an upgrade. I was scanning through the INSTALL file for the "right way" to do this and noticed this line: perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log which I assume is a way of me avoiding having to remember what I answered for all the install questions before. The only problem is I can't find it. Does anyone know where this file is usually put? -custard

Right, although that only applies when doing an upgrade from a previous Koha 3 installation (you probably noticed that too). Quoting the relevant portion from that INSTALL file: ____________________ UPGRADE ======= If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3, you can use the following: perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log make make test sudo make upgrade ____________________
which I assume is a way of me avoiding having to remember what I answered for all the install questions before.
I think so too, although I never tried it.

I think it's usually placed in the /usr/share/koha/misc/ directory. So, the full path to that file will be: /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log In my case, that file contains the following info: ____________________ PAZPAR2_HOST=pc6 PAZPAR2_PORT=11002 INSTALL_MODE=standard INSTALL_BASE=/usr/share/koha INSTALL_ZEBRA=no INSTALL_SRU=yes INSTALL_PAZPAR2=no AUTH_INDEX_MODE=grs1 RUN_DATABASE_TESTS=no PATH_TO_ZEBRA= ____________________ A way of finding the location of the koha-install-log file would be to run the following "find" command in the Linux shell: ____________________ # find / -iname koha-install-log ____________________ You'll probably get three locations for that find command: two of them relate to the extracted files from the .tar.gz Koha installation file and the other one will be the one you'll need: ____________________ /root/Koha/blib/MISC_DIR/koha-install-log /root/Koha/misc/koha-install-log /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log ____________________ I hope this helps you.

The only problem is I can't find it. Does anyone know where this file is usually put? This upgrade capability was added in beta1, so if you installed the alpha, you won't have that option. So I'm afraid you'll have to remember your answers one last time ;-)
