koha-3.00.00 make fails
by Rick Welykochy 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

Hi all, I have downloaded http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00.tar.gz and began installing it on Debian/etch (in a Linux vserver environment). 0. FINE: cd koha-3.00.00 1. FINE: perl Makefile.PL 2. FAIL: make : : : Manifying blib/man3/C4::UploadedFile.3pm Manifying blib/man3/C4::BackgroundJob.3pm Manifying blib/man3/opac::opac-dictionary.3pm Manifying blib/man3/serials::member-search.3pm /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" fix-perl-path.PL blib /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" rewrite-config.PL blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be 4 at rewrite-config.PL line 67. make: *** [blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml] Error 255 Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix? Aside: there were a couple of other problems with this "out of the box" debian based install of Koha 3.0 which had to be fixed along the way, e.g. seven missing perl modules and libgd not found. I'll report on the entire process from unpacking to a running Koha/3.00.00 once I get to the end. cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The manual said Windows XP/SP2 or better so I installed Linux.

Re: [Koha-devel] virtual hosting of Koha
by Krishnan M 25 Nov '09

I get the digest, so i am only able to respond now. I want to report one failure, and an eventual success (using a different route...) The failure: i was unable to deploy Koha to my regular account with a shared hosting service (specifically, hostmonster.com) i don't remember any problems with the make process, however, i had issues with getting the hosting to work...i don't even think i was using virtual hosts, i wanted to first get at least the INTRANET running, but the only thing i could use was changes to .htaccess files, since i don't get access to Apache's config directly. Koha had problems finding the Perl modules, specifically it did not pick up environment variables pointing to their location i was not very smart at that point with different approaches, so after trying for a while, i chose another route... Success: Since i was determined to host on the Internet, i basically decided to get my "own server", essentially a slice (at slicehost.com) They use virtualization and give you a choice of OS, ample bandwidth, and for all practical purposes, its like your own box, where you are root and can do whatever you like. >From then on, it was like a regular Koha install and a few hours later, it was up and running... i've never gone back and analyzed what went wrong with the shared hosting, but i basically faced one problem after another, so that eventually, i just gave up. But, i think, in theory, it should be possible to do with some changes to the install process.

Currently we show the Amazon cover and link back to the product's page on Amazon's web site from the cover itself. Some librarians I talk to are uncomfortable with the idea that their public library will show a link to a (monopolistic (online-only (us-owned (insert-yr-own-fears-here)))) bookseller in such a prominent way : using the whole cover image as a link. At least some of them would be assuaged, I think, by a more discreet link between their opac and Amazon : removing the link from the image itself and providing it through a tiny text just below the image, saying "source : Amazon", might be a solution. See example at http://www.libfly.com/je-suis-une-legende-livre-25918.html What do you think?

Can't call method "append_fields"
by constantine 13 Oct '09

Yes, the previous problem was solved, indeed... I do not understand why I have so many problems installing koha,.. maybe the last years I was too used to Joomla! installations :D So the challenging koha that its concept I so much admire and embrace makes me face another problem.

Problem with 007 framework?
by Wagner, Jane 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

I'm not finding anything on bugzilla and I'm not quite sure if this is a bug, or if something's not configured right. Trying to original catalog a DVD, with the DVDs, VHS framework selected (but the same problem exists in all the frameworks). If you click the ellipse after the 007 Physical Description Fixed Field, it brings up a builder screen. However, the only options available in the pulldowns are 00 Category of material t-Text 01 Specific material designation a-Regular print b-Large print c-Braille d-Loose-leaf u-Unspecified z-Other These choices are only appropriate for 007-text (books). For DVDs, Library of Congress says the 007 choices should be 00 - Category of material v - Videorecording 01 - Specific material designation c - Videocartridge d - Videodisc f - Videocassette r - Videoreel u - Unspecified z - Other | - No attempt to code Other material types of 007s have different value choices. What needs to be done to make the Koha 007 builder have the appropriate choices for each framework? This seems to be calling intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/value_builder/marc21_field_007.pl, but I can't read the code well enough to see where it's getting the values. Thanks.

Change of username and password
by tunji 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

How to change the Koha (Koha 3) administrators username and password in a linux server. Our mistake in first setting up Koha was to use the personal username and password of the administrator in stead of one that is generic to our business. We have had no joy when try to change them. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Change-of-username-and-password-tp22775124p22775124.h… Sent from the Koha - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

a simple update-items.pl tool
by Mason James 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi Folks, i have an idea around a simple update-items.pl tool. my idea is a tool similar to circ's current branchtransfers.pl script (that takes scanned barcodes as input), and it updates the scanned item's various values what values ??? perhaps some/all of these... (any others??) Item Information 1. Home Library: 1. Holding Library: 2. Item type: 3. Collection: Statuses ( Lost Damaged ) 1. Current Location: 3. Lost Status: 4. Damaged Status: 5. Withdrawn: do other libraries use a different method that i'm unaware of? is there another update-items.pl type tool i have missed? Cheers, Mason

Add Biblio slow
by zang＠zang.co.za 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I have contacted the list previously about this issue. We are hosting Koha successfully, but the "add biblio" screen is really a big problem (accessed via the internet). It is impractical to do cataloguing at this speed. It takes 30 seconds on average to start cataloguing a new record. Is there anything to be done to circumvent this issue? The problem is not Javascript related. All other functionality (searches, etc) are satisfactory.

It can be a little tricky to read patch files. Git diffs are a little easier than some because they list the changed files and the number of changes at the top. Don't worry about the changes in sysprefs.sql. Getting the database updated is more important. The change to Circulation.pm is the really important bit. The two lines with the '+' next to them are to be added to that file. If you can locate the lines around those in the file, then just copy and paste those lines in so it looks like what's in the diff. Then remove the '+''s. Good luck.
