[Koha] Koha Installation Upgrade 2.2.4 to 2.2.5 Windows

[Amzari Abu Bakar]

Hi everyone;

For those interested to upgrade Koha2.2.4 windows to
Koha2.2.5.

Referring to my previous email on this matter, I have
realize that I have made several mistakes. Previously,
I have advice to extract Koha2.2.5 to c:\usr\koha225
and make changes to koha.conf in c:\etc. The mistakes
is in apache, it still referring to old folder (i.e:
c:\usr\koha224.) You can test it by renaming koha224
folder to koha224_bak, and run your koha. you will
find 404 -access forbidden.

Apart from extracting koha files to c:\usr\koha225,
you have to alter your koha.conf and httpd.conf. make
sure you make a backup first. My current setting is
Apache2.0.54, WinXP, MySQL4.0.15-nt.
Activestateperl 5.6 install at c:\usr\, perl localted
at c:\usr\bin\

Here are basic guidelines of upgrading from Koha 2.2.4
Windows to Koha 2.2.5.
1. Install koha2.2.4 for windows according to
guidelines in http:\\www.kohadocs.org

1. change c:\etc\koha.conf configuration as follows:

database=<db_name>
hostname=localhost
user=koha
pass=koha
intranetdir=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-cgi
opacdir=c:\usr\koha225\opac-cgi
kohaversion=2.2.5
opachtdocs=c:\usr\koha225\opac-html\opac-tmpl
intrahtdocs=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-html\intranet-tmpl
includes=c:\usr\koha225\intranet-html\intranet-tmpl\npl\en\includes

2. Add the following lines in Apache configuration
files, httpd.conf:

Listen 8080

3. Modified the following lines:

DocumentRoot "C:/usr/koha224/intranet/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/usr/koha224/intranet/htdocs">

TO

DocumentRoot "C:/usr/koha225"
<Directory "C:/usr/koha225">

AND

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/
"C:/usr/koha224/intranet/cgi-bin/"

<Directory "C:/usr/koha224/intranet/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

TO 

ScriptAlias /intranet-cgi/
"C:/usr/koha225/intranet-cgi/"

<Directory "C:/usr/koha225/intranet-cgi">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

And Virtual host configuration as follows:

<VirtualHost _default_:*>
    ServerAdmin amzari79 at yahoo.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/usr/koha225"
    ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/koha225/opac-cgi/
    ServerName opac
    ErrorLog logs/opac-error_log
    CustomLog logs/opac-access_log common
    SetEnv PERL5LIB "c:/usr/koha225/modules"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost localhost *>
    ServerAdmin amzari79 at yahoo.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/usr/koha225/opac-html"
    ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/koha225/opac-cgi/
    ServerName opac
    ErrorLog logs/opac-error_log
    CustomLog logs/opac-access_log common
    SetEnv PERL5LIB "c:/usr/koha225/modules"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost localhost:8080>
    ServerAdmin amzari79 at yahoo.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/usr/koha225/intranet-html"
    ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/koha/
/usr/koha225/intranet-cgi/
    ServerName intranet
    ErrorLog logs/intranet-error_log
    CustomLog logs/intranet-access_log common
    SetEnv PERL5LIB "c:/usr/koha225/modules"
</VirtualHost>

4. change system environment variables for perl5lib
variable: perl5lib
value: c:\usr\koha225\modules

DONE. You can run opac from http://opac/ or
http://localhost/  and intranet from
http://intranet:8080 or http://localhost:8080
