Hello,

does anyone have a rough idea how long installer.pl will continue to be the official installer? I tried to install 1.3.2 and was hit by "/usr/bin/mysqladmin: No such file or directory" again. My patch for looking for mysql was lost I guess (^^;) So here it is again (^_^)

(The MySQL password is also not quoted, not anywhere. Somehow, fixes to bugs are being lost; we are seeing regressions, this is not good.)

If users are expected to run installer.pl instead of reading an INSTALL document, the installer should not have these paths hard- coded in (e.g., if it can't find mysql, it should not expect to find it in /usr); the school I went to would probably place mysql in /software/mysql and koha in /software/koha ...

Ambrose: Your patches are not being lost. They have all been applied to the installer in the stable (1.2) branch. The installer in 1.3 is still the old installer from 1.2.2. I was kind of waiting for the new safe_installer to be used in the 1.3 branch, but I guess I should move the current installer.pl into 1.3 since more people are looking to test it... Steve.
