opac / no results for a search
by Samuel Desseaux 13 Jun '13

13 Jun '13

Hi! We use koha 3.12 and we have today a problem with our opac. When we do a search, it gives no results (but, the professional search work fine). I run zebra as a user named koha and the ownership of files are ok. I've checked some systempreferences as "hidelostitem" and "opacsuppression": all is ok. An idea? Best regards Samuel

Koha ldap authentication problem
by Bobby Adesuyan 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hi guys, I am experiencing some erratic behavior getting koha to talk to our ldap server. I am trying setup where koha updates existing user details (mainly passwords) but not replicate. This way only users created on the koha server are able to authenticate since the userid on koha is the same as on our ldap(openldap). However my experience has been very inconsistent. Users are not immediately authenticated until after numerous tries (and restarting koha-common) and when a user is eventually authenticated changes to the user password on ldap are not immediately reflected. Here are my system details koha 3.12 using debian Squeeze Packages here is my ldap configuration. <useldapserver>1</useldapserver> <ldapserver id="ldapserver" listenref="ldapserver"> <hostname>192.168.0.1</hostname> <base>ou=People,dc=example,dc=com</base> <user>admin,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com</user> <pass>password</pass> <replicate>0</replicate> <update>1</update> <mapping> <userid is="uid"></userid> <surname is="sn"></surname> <password is="userPassword"></password> </mapping> </ldapserver> I have been able to get other services like pam (library desktops running Linux) moodle, and alfresco to authenticate users against our ldap. If anyone could point me to with I am doing wrong and if there is any other switch which need be flipped to get ldap working on Koha I would really appreciate. Also any means of getting a more verbose log on what happens when koha tries to authenticate against ldap.. I have not be able get any log on whats from from opac.err intranet.err.

by Tomas Cohen Arazi 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hi fellows, as you might already know Chris Hall, Bernardo and I have been elected for the task of maintaining the 3.8.x, 3.10.x and 3.12.x stable releases respectively. The current schedule (to which we are sticking) establishes June 22 for string freeze. If you have string patches still on your local branches, keep that date in mind and send them soon so they get in; specially for the fresh and beauty 3.12.x branch! Thanks To+

Koha + LDAP
by Pablo Bianchi 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Hi all! I'm trying to set up a Koha instance (stable, v3.12, koha-common) with an OpenLDAP. I already setup koha-conf.xml and fix every LDAP error I had, using the output of: /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-user.pl userid="10000" password="1234" >/dev/null But now this only gives me: Use of uninitialized value $pki_field in string eq at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 789, <DATA> line 522. Use of uninitialized value $pki_field in string eq at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 789, <DATA> line 522. Use of uninitialized value $retuserid in string ne at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 826, <DATA> line 522. Same on intranet-error.log or opac-error.log, trying via web; same lines if ldap user or local user. But logging with local accounts works fine, the problem is just with LDAP, which AFAIK use MD5, so I was wondering if all this have something to do with bug #9611<http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9611>. Already installed Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt and Crypt::Random::Source without luck. Using ldapsearch to fetch user information works fine. Any ideas? Regards, Pablo PS: JFTR, I needed to touch Auth_wiith_ldap.pm line ~81 (*my $filter...*) to have only one hit (strange LDAP tree).

3.6.1 upgrade to 3.8.5 and bug 8071

In my continuing quest to upgrade 3.6.1 to 3.8.x without loss of functionality (specifically authorities, generally zebra) I have now upgraded my sandbox (db fully synchronized with the production box) to 3.8.5 along the lines of "bug 8071 blocker" ... however in 3.8.5: Results 1 to 20 of 424 Summary Used in Delete World War, 1914-1918 Details 0 biblio(s) Delete World War, 1914-1918 Aerial operations.

I did do a "test" during the upgrade: paul@server:/koha-3.08.05$ sudo make test / ... / Test Summary Report ------------------- t/Barcodes_ValueBuilder.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 0 Failed: 0) Non-zero exit status: 2 Parse errors: Bad plan.
