koha upgrade error
by Saiful Amin 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hi All, I've just upgraded from 1.2.3RC18 to 1.3.1 with 'koha.upgrade'. The intranet page gives an 'Internal Server Error' with the following koha-error log. [Wed Nov 27 06:17:50 2002] [error] [client 192.168.1.58] File does not exist: /usr/local/koha/intranet/htdocs/images/kohasplash.jpg HTML::Template->new() : Cannot open included file /default/en/intranet-main.tmpl : file not found. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTML/Template.pm line 1580 HTML::Template::_init_template('HTML::Template=HASH(0x814a660)') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTML/Template.pm line 1177 HTML::Template::_init('HTML::Template=HASH(0x814a660)') called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/HTML/Template.pm line 1071 HTML::Template::new('HTML::Template', 'filename', '/default/en/intranet-main.tmpl', 'die_on_bad_params', 0, 'global_vars', 1, 'path', ...) called at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Output.pm line 92 C4::Output::gettemplate('intranet-main.tmpl') called at /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl line 13 [Wed Nov 27 06:17:57 2002] [error] [client 192.168.1.58] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl And, though the Opac page opens in the different port searching gives the same internal server error with the following opac-error log record. opac at /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/search.pl line 31. opac at /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/search.pl line 36.

Hi, before releasing 1.3.2, i'm doing some code cleaning. I think the following scripts/templates are never used in koha. If nobody cries/claims, i'll delete them from cvs (tomorrow) : barcodes.pl categoryitem.pl charges.tmpl cmsd.tmpl decode_ftr.pl default.tmpl fixborrower.pl fixcatalog.pl fixorders.pl fixorders.pl2 fixrefs.pl makebaskets.pl makeformats.pl member-flags.pl member-password.pl newimember.tmpl opac-auth.tmpl opac-moredetail.tmpl orderbreakdown.pl savebiblio.pl testinclude.pl updatedatabase2.pl -- Paul

internationalising installation
by paul POULAIN 22 Nov '02

22 Nov '02

After directory cleaning, i'm working on installation. I want to modify script to enable installation of specific tables. I will manage marc and stopwords parameters tables I've french unimarc and stopwords ready and well tested. I've english marc21 ready and a little bit less tested but ok i think. I need stopwords in english. If someone from the devel team can add such a file in : misc/lang-datas/en/stopwords.sql Note : I don't plan to change the language of the installer : it will stay in english, as ppl installing koha are supposed to understand english, I think :-) -- Paul

Sky, I think you'll have better luck finding answers to questions like these on the development list. I've CC:ed your questions there. -pate On Thu, 21 Nov 2002, Sky King wrote: > Sorry, I answered my own 2 previous questions.

call numbers
by robweir＠alum.drexel.edu 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

I submitted the following question to the general list, but received no response. Any chance someone on the development list would have a couple minutes to give me some guidance? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Rob ----- Original Message ----- Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 13:37:11 -0500 X-Priority: 3 To: koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Data Conversion - Call Numbers I am converting data from an old system and need some help on which fields in Koha should be used to store the various components of the existing book call numbers. I'm a computer guy, not the librarian, so forgive me if my terminolgy is off. Given the following sample call number: R 220.7 J32c V.1 I am guessing that the first line 'R' for Refernce Book would be an itemtype defined in the itemtype table and then entered in the biblioitems.itemtype field for each book. The second line of course would be stored in biblioitems.dewey field. I'm stuck on the third line which I think is referred to as the Cutter number. Where should that be stored? I see a biblioitems.subclass field, but it is only char(3) which isn't long enough since cutter numbers are typicaly four characters. I think a few of the call numbers have a dewey line and two lines of cutter numbers. If there are two cutter lines, where should that second cutter line be stored? And then for the last line, would biblioitems.volumeddesc be the correct field? One more example call number from the old system: BIOG MORR H C.2 I can probably use biblioitems.itemtype for the first line. I'm stuck again on the second line. And I think the last line needs to be stored in the items table since it is specific to each copy of a book with multiple copies. But which field? I am hoping that once I get the data converted and everything stored in the proper fields, that a client who looks up a book using the OPAC interface will be able to see the entire call number for use in locating the book on the shelves. Will that be the case? Or are my librarians using a call number system that is incompatible with Koha? Thanks in advance for any help! Rob

code cleaning (2)
by paul POULAIN 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Ok, I've deleted unused scripts (aka scripts claimed by nobody, and that are not mine ;-) ) I've deleted the "includes" directory in the koha-html part of koha : it includes only templates and .inc files that are also in koha/koha-tmpl/intranet. I've a some remaining questions... About koha-html : ============= * What is koha-html/intranet-html/opac done for ? isn't it old html ? (seems the same as koha-html/opac-html, which is the true opac html path) ? * is koha-html/opac-html/includes used somewhere ? Root koha directory : =============== In the root koha directory, there are some scripts that are for koha (addwebsite.pl, admin-home.pl)... and some that are for installation or command-line tasks (barcodes.pl, ChangeLog, fixBranches.pl, Hints, HOWTO-testing, INSTALL, install*, koha.mysql, koha.t, koha.upgrade, LICENSE, News, README, sampledata-1.2, testKoha, TODO if i don't mind). I think the code would be clearer if we put all of them in a specific directory. misc/ already contains some tools that are related to install, maintaining... So, I propose that all SCRIPTS not needed to run koha are moved to the misc directory. All the INFORMATIVE files (INSTALL, LICENSE,...) are moved in misc/info directory. (We could move the marc/ directory to misc/ too, as it's only db install stuff. Various questions : ============== * Is there a way to prevent deleted directories to remain in file system : some of them are present in koha and koha-html ? Questions/ideas/suggestions welcomed. -- Paul

Koha users page
by Pat Eyler 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

I've just set up a page on the wiki for recording libraries (public, private, whatever) that are using (or evaluating) Koha. Please tak a moment and sign yourselves up. Ideally, this can be a resource for getting Koha User Groups started, for pooling resources in developing projects for Koha, and for helping convince other libraries that Koha is in fact a reasonable choice. Oh, yeah -- here's the URL: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaUsers thanks, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org
