How to make self-referential URLs in Koha
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi all, With some recent code, I've been using creating self-referential URL in Koha using CGI->url(), and passing it as a value. With CGI, the URL is correct (ie starting with /cgi-bin/koha). With Plack, it's not, because the OPAC is mounted as "/opac". I worked around this by rewriting the self-referential URL in my code, but I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on this. I've noticed there are a few places in Koha where we use CGI->url() and I'm guessing we may have unexpected bugs in Plack-enabled Koha as a result. Of course, one workaround would be to have /opac and /intranet aliases or URL rewriting in Apache, so that the self-referential URLs created by Plack still end up resolving. I wonder if that's the easiest path forward. In the past, I have wondered if we could get rid of "/cgi-bin/koha" as a path prefix all together (especially as cgi-bin scares security tools), but it's so deeply embedded in Koha at this point that it seems a huge task to replace it. Anyway, just throwing that out there. David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Online: 02 8005 0595

by Zeno Tajoli 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

Hi to, I'm trying to use ElasticSearch everywhere with Koha 20.11 I'm working on Debian 10, EleasticSearch 6.8.13, Java openjdk 11 (Debian package) The search on Opac and Intranet is OK. Problems are on z39.50 server. With bug 13937 a z39.50/SRU server is ready also with ES as search back-end. But now the demonization of the script doesn't work. If i do: sudo koha-z3950-responder --start lib and I do a check with: yaz-client Z> open 127.0.0.1:2100/biblios Connecting...OK. Sent initrequest. Target closed connection Z> The result is 'closed connection', ZOOM error: 1004 But if do: sudo koha-z3950-responder --stop lib sudo koha-shell lib /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/koha/bin/z3950_responder.pl -c /etc/koha/sites/lib/z3950 -l /var/log/koha/lib/z3950.log koha@deb:~$ yaz-client Z> open 127.0.0.1:2100/biblios Connecting...OK.

Bug 15565 - Place multiple holds at once for the same record in OPAC
by dcook＠prosentient.com.au 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could QA or test (then I'll QA) this bug. It's really handy end-user functionality so it would be great to get it into Koha.

Help with bug 25674
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi all, we have introduced the use of the message broker (RabbitMQ) but surprisingly the bug that actually makes that configurable for regular installs hasn't been moved even a tiny bit [1] Can some of you please take a look? It is really easy to test (just play with the koha-create option switches and see the resulting koha-conf.xml entries) and a valuable addition. Thanks in advance [1] https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25674 -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Theke Solutions (http://theke.io) ✆ +54 9351 3513384 GPG: B2F3C15F

Known issues with plack on Debian 10 ?
by Philippe Blouin 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Hello all, As we are slowly upgrading our servers to D10, along with clients to Koha 20.05.08 from 19.05, I just realized plack was not working. Starman is up, the logs in plack-error.log are filling with normal stuff, I see no error in /var/log/daemon.log, or any log for that matter... But absolutely no performance improvement. Zero, nada... Does anyone has a hint on what I should be looking for? I've never dug the plumbing of that magic, and admit I'm clueless right now. These are Dev (git) installs. Great thanks, -- Philippe Blouin, Directeur de la technologie Tél. : (833) 465-4276, poste 230 philippe.blouin(a)inLibro.com <mailto:philippe.blouin@inLibro.com> inLibro | pour esprit libre | www.inLibro.com <http://www.inLibro.com>
