Rebuild Zebra and production mode -- trapped fatal error
by Chadwick, John, DCA 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

First, I have seen the production mode - trapped fatal error message during some testing. We are now working on the production server. The error, at least when I have seen it, is generated when you try to get opac details for a biblionumber that doesn't exist. This has been resolved for us when we load records and rebuild the zebra indexes. Which brings me to a second thing I would like to share. I have an easy shell script I created to facilitate the process with no errors. We will be hosting a second Koha install which is why we are doing some custom locations for the file directories rather than the default directories. #!/bin/bash export PERL5LIB=/koha/bbmkoha/lib/ perl /koha/bbmkoha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v John +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----+ John Chadwick, Ed.D.

3.0.3 install on Debian squeeze
by Thomas Krichel 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Yesterday and today installed my first koha system, 3.0.3. I use Debian testing, squeeze. I have a few small suggestions. -1- In the install instructions, don't reference dselect. It is a deprecated tool. Instead, simply make install_misc/debian.squeeze-packages read as apt-get install apache2 apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker etc, and tell folks to "bash" it. -2- The two README files in install_misc/ should really be up in the parent directory -3- in the web installer, I saw something like <form action="/cgi-bin/koha/installer/install.pl" name="checkdbparameters" type="post"> It should be <form action="/cgi-bin/koha/installer/install.pl" name="checkdbparameters" method="POST"> -4- On first perl Makefile, I entered a password say foo&bar. This lands up on line 180 of koha-conf.xml as <pass>foo&bar</pass> and make test croaks on this. The values need to be encoded.

Koha 229 to Koha 304 ... perhaps the fasttrack was a bad track
by Rick Welykochy 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hi all, I am posting this to both Koha and Koha-devel. We are upgrading a Koha/2.2.9 instance to Koha/3.0.4. We followed the instructions at <http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30> to accomplish this feat. But we are having troubles, i.e. as posted earlier, catalogue searching fails when restricted by Branch or restricted to "items available". There is a suspect line in opac_search.pl (418): for (my $i=0;$i<=@servers;$i++) which loops one too many times ;) Anyway, as well, the build_holds_queue.pl script is falling over in cron with Undefined subroutine&main::GetBranchItemRule. My question is this. To perform such an upgrade, is it okay to follow the procedure as documented in the Wiki (22_to_30)? An alternative that we have discussed is to do this: 1. Upgrade from 2.2.9 to 3.0.0 (using the procedure on the Wiki) 2. Then upgrade from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 3. Then upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 (or is that 3.0.3?) 4. Finally upgrade from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 Any informed opinions out there on how to do this properly? Or perhaps the above errors I mentioned are endemic to Koha 3.0.4 and we are barking up the wrong tree. thanks in advance rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen.

Geolocalization in Koha
by Pablo A. Bianchi 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi! Does anyone ever thought of adding Geolocation[0] to Koha? Probably using also Google Maps API. Having branches spread over a large territory make this very useful, making the records of the searched material more near first in the result list. Is possible to add some heuristics based on what people usually search for on that zone. There are some freely available databases, but also is possible to create and improve one over time, based on location established on registered and logged users, associating it with their IP address. Regards, Pablo [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geolocation

Searching with local language
by Zico 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hi, i am using Koha 3.0.1 in Debian 5.0. Now, my koha team is going to add some local language books in server. And, our local language is Bengali ( Bangladesh ). Now, what i want is.. some sort of things like on-screen Bengali keyboard, with which anyone can search Bengali Books there in our ILS. Can you give me any links or suggestions regarding this "on-screen keyboard"? It will be really helpful for me. -- Best, Zico

Impossible to register on Koha site
by Pablo A. Bianchi 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

It was impossible to me to create an account on Koha site (to contribute[0]) I tried with several usernames and different email addresses and always get this error: "Error: Failed to create your account: we were unable to send your password to your email address: {'my_mail(a)gmail.com': (550, 'relay not permitted')} " When trying to contact Koha's site admin I also receive almost the same error: "Unable to send mail: {'site-admin(a)koha.org': (550, 'relay not permitted')}" What can I do...? Regards, Pablo PS: Also there is a problem with variables on footer: "El ${plonecms} es © 2000-2009 por la ${plonefoundation} y otros." PS2: It seems some things were lost in the way to Plone, like some mailing list on: http://koha.org/support/free-support [0] http://koha.org/documentation/how-to/use-help-center

Strange (Zebra?) problem...
by Nicholas van Rheede van Oudtshoorn 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi all, Hope this is the right list to ask this on! We've got a Koha 3, zebra library system up and running (been using it for quite some time). Today the library pointed out to me that when searching for a book's title (in intranet or opac), no results are shown - even though the book is there! Searching by author brings up the book in the system. The koha error log is throwing out a whole bunch of information - but I'm still not sure exactly where the error is occurring. I've tried rebuilding the zebra index, but to no avail. I'm probably a couple of dot-points behind the latest release - I won't have the guts to do an upgrade until after the semester has finished here. You can try the opac search for yourself at library.pbc.wa.edu.au searching for "Jesus remembered" brings up no results, but that book turns up when searching for it's author - "Dunn" at position number 12. If it helps, I've attached the error log (pruned to just contain this search). As you can imagine, this is something of a major issue for us here. Any hints would be greatly appreciated! In hopeful anticipation... :-) Nick
