[Koha] OPAC error

[Tom Hanstra]

My situation is rather specific in that I have a backup of data from a 
PTFS 3.2 database which I'm trying to use with the 3.4.4 Community 
Koha.   Our goal is to migrate away from a PTFS hosted solution to one 
more local, so I'm testing getting things set up here.

In general, this has been working reasonably well.  After getting 3.4.4 
installed, I clear the database and replace the data with the PTFS 
version.  I've done it a couple of times now and the Koha database 
upgrade process does a nice job of upgrading the database without too 
many errors.

But, at least once now, I ran into the template problems which I sent to 
the list.  I was never able to track this down, and so there could still 
be something lurking out there.  What I did to finally clear it was to 
clear out the database and overlay and then upgrade once more.   That 
cleared things for me, at least for now.

If I determine anything more, I'll send to the list.

Thanks,
Tom
