Hackfest in Marseille
by Paul Poulain 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hello world, I've opened the google doc as previous years, with all attendees to the Marseille hackfest 2015. SO: * if you told me that you plan to come and haven't received access to the document, drop me an email again, it mean I missed your previous email ! * we've a lot of available seats, so, it's still time to attend ! (here, i'm specifically talking to : *PTFS-E*, *Dobrica*, *Oslo*, *Olli*, *Zeno*, *Giannis* : you came last year, don't you want to come again ?) Reminder = we're also seeking for someone sponsoring a trip to Marseille to Owen and Chris ;-) -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, expert du logiciel libre pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software for libraries expert

3.18 zebra
by Paul A 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

Please bear with me -- I had no luck sorting out my search speed problem, so did a packet apt-get remove, install (not purge.) All went extremely well, OPAC reported "under maintenance", staff admin (logging in with install name) upgraded the 3.05 database (new as requested by /usr/share/koha/k318-db-request.txt), and both sites are delivering proper pages through Apache (prefork+itk.) But I have a problem with Zebra. Does 'instancename-koha' really have to be a sudoer? If there's a possible quick fix I'll try it, if not I'll start over. k318-koha@hood:/usr/sbin$ koha-start-zebra k318 Invalid option: --user (only works for root) /.../ Starting Zebra server for k318 Invalid option: --user (only works for root) /.../ Something went wrong starting Zebra for k318. k318-koha is a valid user (non sudoer) with pw generated by Koha. I can start Zebra as root, no problem, but then: k318-koha@hood:/usr/sbin$ koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f k318 [N.B. not 'sudo'] k318-koha is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. Something went wrong rebuilding biblio indexes for k318 and I have *not* tried reindexing as root -- ISTR dire warnings not to do so on this list :) I've looked at Bug 13396 and koha-conf.xml complies. I've tried sudo service koha-common restart * Restarting Koha ILS koha-common /.../ Zebra already stopped for instance k318. SIP server for k318 not running. * Error: Indexer not running for k318 zebra-error log reports: 20150121 12:49:39 k318-koha-zebra: client (pid 2132) exited with 1 status 20150121 12:49:39 k318-koha-zebra: client (pid 2133) exited with 1 status 20150121 12:49:39 k318-koha-zebra: client (pid 2134) exited with 1 status 20150121 12:49:39 k318-koha-zebra: client (pid 2135) exited with 1 status 20150121 12:49:39 k318-koha-zebra: client (pid 2136) exited with 1 status 20150121 12:49:39 k318-koha-zebra: terminating too quickly, waiting 30 seconds but I'm not sure where '-zebra' gets concatenated to the user.

Re: [Koha-devel] 3.18 zebra

Michael, Thank you, I'm on the same track, but being a little bit cautious. Since the packages were introduced (and I have not yet used them in production) a number of warnings have been expressed (e.g. one of our esteemed developers wrote 20-Aug-2013: "Because the packages put koha-common in /etc/cron.d that does the indexing. The fact you have reindexed as root will have mucked up all sorts of permissions, including breaking this cron job.") So what I have been trying to do is imitate the cron job (that is obviously not running as intended.) Basically after env. vars it is: */5 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/koha-rebuild-zebra && koha-rebuild-zebra -q $(koha-list --enabled) I was questioning the 'root' (which may in itself be fairly normal for cron jobs) which seems to go against previous advice. The 'test -x' is taken care of (the file does exist), -q defaults to bibs and auths but with no verbosity, so 'koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f k318' seems like a reasonable command line. It's just a question of 'who' does it, and with 'what permissions.' The zebra logs seem to be working OK, but I do not have 'indexer-error.log' anywhere on the system.

Koha Dashboard
by Marcel de Rooy 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hi all, I am looking quite often to Koha Dashboard and would be interested in having the 10 oldest bugs on the dashboard under Needs Signoff and Needs QA to include all bugs (read: also enhancements, new features). Or could we extend by toggling between 10 oldest bugs and 10 oldest reports or something like that? What do you think (and especially Chris, of course) ? Regards, Marcel

let's continue on koha-devel Hum, Koha::DateUtils looks buggy too: use Modern::Perl; use Koha::DateUtils qw( dt_from_string output_pref ); use DateTime; use DateTime::Format::DateParse; my $date_string = '15/06/1800'; # metric in pref my $dt = dt_from_string( $date_string ); say '1 => ' . output_pref( $dt ) if $dt; $dt = DateTime->new(year => 1800, month => 06, day => 15); say '2 => ' . output_pref( $dt ) if $dt; $date_string = '06/15/1900'; $dt = DateTime::Format::DateParse->parse_datetime( $date_string ); say '3 => ' . output_pref( $dt ) if $dt; $dt = DateTime::Format::DateParse->parse_datetime( $date_string, 'Europe/Paris' ); say '4 => ' . output_pref( $dt ) if $dt; Will display: 2 => 15/06/1800 00:00 The problem comes from DateTime::Format::DateParse.
