If you have anything else in this field other than the one of the values in the itemtypes table, all sorts of miscellaneous errors seem to happen. The first step in configuring Koha is to add values to the itemtypes table, and then make sure every catalogue item you enter has a valid itemtype in the 852 k field. > And I chose the budget based entry system. Unless you have a valid reason for using the budget based system (such as wanting to keep track of how much book value each person has contributed to your collection), I would suggest using the simple acquisition module instead. As the name suggests, it's simpler. :) Regards, -- Larry Stamm PO Box 561 McBride, BC V0J 2E0 Canada http://www.larrystamm.com

CVS symlinking
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 17 Apr '04

Hi group, I am trying to symbolically link the CVS tree with koha 2.0 but no success. Apache complains: [Sat Apr 17 17:23:39 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not allowed: /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin [Sat Apr 17 17:23:42 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link not allowed: /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin Httpd.conf file has this: # KOHA's OPAC Configuration <VirtualHost localhost.localdomain:80> ServerAdmin kb2qzv(a)localhost.localdomain DocumentRoot /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs ServerName localhost.localdomain ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/ ErrorLog /usr/local/koha/log/opac-error_log TransferLog /usr/local/koha/log/opac-access_log SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules" SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha.conf" <Directory /usr/local/koha> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory> The above is just for the OPAC, the same is true for the INTRANET. Symbolic link is set to my cvs directory. I changed file ownership to apache.apache for the whole tree of the kohaCVS, and chmod -R 755, too. Any hints? Benedict

MARC-BN, how to implement
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

Hi, What would I need to actually add MARC-BN support to Koha? Here is a description of what marc-bn is: http://mak.bn.org.pl/wykaz5.htm It is in Polish but the differences between marc21 and marc-bn are clearly set further down the webpage. Any ideas? Benedict

z3950 search 'loosing' forks
by T & J Kotula 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi, I installed koha2.0.0 on the day it came out and was hoping I was going to install it in our library. However I just stumbled across another problem with the z3950 search :-( Here is what I've done. 1. Set up 9 z3950 servers. 2. Run ./processz3950queue from the command prompt 3. When search for the first time, 9 Processing ISBN=.... at server ... (n forks) lines appear, where n = 1..9. So far so good. 3b. After a few seconds they _all_ come back with 'no records found', followed by _all_ 'search done'. So far so good. 4. However when I search again, there are still 9 Processing ISBN=.... at server ... (n forks) lines, but this time n=5..13. 4b. After a few seconds they _all_ come back with 'no records found', followed by _all_ 'search done'. 5. When I search again, there are still 9 Processing ISBN=.... at server ... (n forks) lines, but this time n=9..17. 5b. After a few seconds they _all_ come back with 'no records found', followed by _all_ 'search done'. 6. The next search is different, as the script goes to line 325, which has a comment: # $forkcounter >=12 So (5-1) + (9-5) + would be (13-9) = 12. Bingo, the if stament falls through. Can someone please tell me how to fix or what I have possibly done wrong. Thanks tomasz kotula.

Question about 'borrow' flag in /member-flags.pl
by T & J Kotula 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

I was assuming that setting 'borrow' flag in /member-flags.pl will allow the user to borrow books against his/her account. With the 'catalogue' flag set as well, koha wouldn't let me in anywhere except the catalogue page. Am I missing something or is it a bug? PS. To be able to borrow I had to set the 'circulate' flag, which is not ideal. Thanks tomasz kotula.
