Catalog Items Don't Appear in OPAC Search
by Richard Forristall 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Good day everyone, Our librarian is having trouble with the OPAC search. When a student searches for books that we know are in the database, some will not appear in the results list. Yet, if we go into the staff client and do a checkout, we can find the catalog item. At first thought, it would seem the catalog item is not getting into the zebra index so the search doesn't find it. Does Koha automatically do a zebra index when catalog items are added? Is there a setting in the Koha admin that has to be set? In OPAC, when we search for a book we don't see it in the results list. In staff client: When we want to check out the book (the library uses a barcode scanner to find the book): The book is then found and we can check it out. The impact is the student can't find some books for the work they need to complete. So only if a student happens to see the book on the shelf can he/she check it out. Thanks in advance for any/all assistance.

Now you need an SMTP on your localhost, as I know. I suggest: -- Translate all comments in english -- Send patch to install the new module with apt-get (I think that the package is libmail-sender-perl) -- See all the place where Mail::Sendmail is used and use instead Mail::Sender or C4::Mail. It is a problem to have 2 perl modules on the same topic.

Test Email Page
by Rick Welykochy 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

Hi all, There is a thread on the Koha list, which repeatedly comes up, about email not working out of Koha. How about an Email Test page in the Admin area? I'm willing to write such a page. Before doing that, I'd like any ideas developers have about such a thing. And I'd like some details on how email works in Koha "from the horses' mouth". cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Politics is the business of getting power and privilege without possessing merit. -- PJ O'Rourke

Respected All I am installing Koha on ubuntu 9.10 When I am going to installer page localhost:8080 I am getting the error Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@brims-desktop and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The Potential Death of Koha in Pennsylvania Libraries
by Kyle Hall 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

The State Library her in Pennsylvania has started planning for a state-wide ILS. My Director, John Brice attended a tech committee netting this past Friday, bringing myself and Cindy Murdock as well. At the meeting, it was announced that HSLC and Equinox will be installing Evergreen in 33 libraries currently using Millennium. In all likelyhood, in the future all the libraries in the state will be required to switch over to Evergreen. Needless to say, my boss and myself are extremely upset by this proposition to say the least. I would applaud the choice of a FOSS ILS, but the choice would not bring any advantage. It appears to me to be a strictly financial decision. The idea being pushed at the meeting was to give libraries as little choice as possible to keep down costs. If we were forced to switch to Evergreen, not only would our huge investment in Koha via time and money be thrown away, but we would be forced into a new system over which we would be no control or ability to customize. We would have no control over the quality of service, as the servers are planned to be centralized somewhere within the state. I do not relish the idea of our current freedoms being taken away.

Looking at the list of logs, the culprit is your mailer, it is filling up your log dir, its probably not configured correctly and is unable to send mail. I would stop whatever mta you have running, from running. Until you have time to configure it correctly, then you can safely remove the .1 mail.log and mail.info logs. Whenever you start getting big log files from your mailer, you know something is going wrong, or you are sending piles of mail. I would also make sure you turn off any cron jobs you have set to mail things. Chris
