[Koha] problem with Amazon content after reboot and update

[Emrys Minnig]

Thanks for the advice.  
 
I inserted a row for OPACAmazonContent, and now cover images are showing in a column on the search results page.  However, if I also leave the OPACAmazonEnabled option on, clicking on an individual biblio still throws 404s.  If I turn OPACAmazonEnabled off, the biblio's page will show up but without any Amazon content (cover included).
 
I might just try a fresh install of 3.00.03.
 
Emrys

Hi Emrys

We tested 3.00.02 briefly and had all the symptoms you describe. Amazon content did not work and we found all the Amazon preferences had moved to Local Use.

Frederick Demians found the solution for us - see list message on June 26 "result page uses deprecated syspref OPACAmazonContent. Could you try set OPACAmazonContent to 1"
So, the 3.00.02 scripts were sometimes referring to a preference that had existed in 3.00.0, but had been removed from 3.00.02. The solution was to create the missing preference in the systempreferences table. 

There were other things wrong in 3.00.02 so we abandoned the test, and have not tried 3.00.03. However, our inserted preferences would still exist in our table, so would still work for us in 3.00.03. even if the guilty preferences are still absent in that version. 
I am not sure why it might have worked for you for some time and then failed after the reboot. However, it could be worth your checking whether adding the deprecated preference fixes the problem. 

Best wishes,
Agnes

	Recently all of my Amazon content died.  It was working fine on 3.02, and then the other day, after a server reboot, it just stopped.  Item details pages keep throwing Error 500 messages on the intranet and 404s on the OPAC.  Turning all Amazon content off fixes things but is a lot less pretty.  
	  
	After hearing about the known issue with Amazon sysprefs in 3.02, I downloaded and installed 3.03.  However, the webinstaller never ran (though I'm not sure it was supposed to on this update).  Additionally, on the 'About Koha' page, it says that my version is still 3.02.  I do notice some differences, though.  Nearly all of the Amazon system preferences are now on the 'Local Use' tab rather than the 'Enhanced Content' tab.  Is this normal, or could my systempreferences table be corrupted?
	
	Anyone have a clue?
