[Koha] Koha Email Question

[Phillip Ponchot]

I can't believe that I spent so much time troubleshooting the Koha mail issue and missed two obvious things. Thanks so much to Riley for pointing out that the koha commands should exist on Ubuntu.  

The most embarrassing issue is that the reason that I could not find them was that I forgot to use sudo.  

I have turned on the email so now I'll see if it works. 

Thanks to everyone who replied to this posting.  

Cheers,


Phillip

> Apparently there are several different ways to Install Koha including packages, tarballs and livecd.  In addition apparently these installations are governed by the flavor of Linux such as Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat and FreeBSD.  As I understand, Debian Servers have this command but the Ubuntu version does not.
