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

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

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. Trying to add a MARC record, (I retrieved its data from a z30.50 server, but that does not matter, I think) and then I am getting an error page (http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl) Its contents are: " Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't call method "append_fields" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/SAX.pm line 95. at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/XML/LibXML/SAX.pm line 64 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/XML.pm line 443 Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Server built: Jun 21 2008 10:35:35 Koha 3.00.00.094 Koha DB 3.0000094 MySQL mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51a, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 OS Linux sangre 2.6.25.9xx6-costis07 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 2 02:35:38 EEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Perl 5.010000 " The laste contens of /var/log/koha/koha-error_log are [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :orignew at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :1 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :ocip at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :20 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :y-gencatlg at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :ddc at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :SR at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :pc15 2006-07-19 to SSCD at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :jp00 2006-07-26 CIP recd at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :jp20 2006-07-26 to subj at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :jp03 2006-07-26 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :aa05 2006-07-27 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :1 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :1 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [debug] mod_deflate.c(619): [...] Zlib: Compressed 37993 to 5966 : URL /cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] additem.pl: Can't call method "append_fields" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/SAX.pm line 95. at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/XML/LibXML/SAX.pm line 64, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?biblionumber=1&fr… [...] [error] [...] [...] additem.pl: at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/XML.pm line 443, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?biblionumber=1&fr… What could I do to solve this problem?

Koha on a deb file
by Pablo A. Bianchi 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi! Some months ago Chris Cormack said this[0] about having Koha on a deb file. I have always dreamed about the day where we can install last stable version of Koha just typing "apt-get install koha". How far do we are from that? Where are the problems to achieve this dream? With Perl modules? -- Pablo [0] http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-December/008762.html http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2007-January/011014.html
