Hallo I am following the development of Koha with great interest. I work in a library for health care in Switzerland and I would like to eventually help with a german translation of Koha. Is that of interest for you? Since I am a Linux newbie I would need a little help with the installation process: I tried to install Koha on my intranet at home (consisting of 1 Suse Linux PC and a iMac OS 9.1). It actually worked fine with installer.pl, but I couldn¹t establish a connection (http://linux:80/). So I erased with phpMyAdmin the existing Koha database and tried to install with installer.pl a new configuration. Unfortunately I now get the information that Koha 2.0.0 already is installed, prohibiting to install a new configuartion and because I erased the Koha database I am a little bit lost... I would appreciate any kind of help very much and would look forward to help with a german translation from myside. Yours Markus Fischer

I am working on a german translation of Koha. Christian Hennecke has already done all translation work, and I am doing some controlling of his translation. There are some questions we discussed and couldn't answer. I hope that somebody can help. acquire.tmpl "Volume Info (for serials)": Is this filed for the information of serial-books or is this for journals? If it is for books, what kind of information is stored in it, only the Volume or only the Titel of the volume or both? order.tmpl what is meant by "staff": the person of the library-staff making the order or is it a contact-person of the company receiving the order? additem-nomarc.tmpl "Volume, Number and Volume Description" are this fields used only for journals? Thank you for your feedback! Markus Fischer

"Volume Info (for serials)": Is this filed for the information of serial-books or is this for journals? If it is for books, what kind of information is stored in it, only the Volume or only the Titel of the volume or both?
Both, its a free text field in the database IIRC.
order.tmpl
what is meant by "staff": the person of the library-staff making the order or is it a contact-person of the company receiving the order?
The library staff member making the order.
additem-nomarc.tmpl
"Volume, Number and Volume Description" are this fields used only for journals?
You can fill them in for books, but mostly they are just used for periodicals. Like journals, and magazines Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

4 things have to be done to uninstall Koha: 1. remove kohaadmin from table 'user' of mysql 2. remove kohaadmin from table 'db' of mysql 3. remove /etc/koha.conf 4/ remove /usr/local/koha (if that's the dir you've installed, and it'd better been, otherwise trouble awaits you there) Here is an example from the polish guide: --------------------------------------------- Krok numer 1 [kb2qzv@localhost kb2qzv]$ mysql -uroot -p mysql Enter password:xxxxx Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 208 to server version: 3.23.58 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> delete from user where user='kohaadmin'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.03 sec) mysql> delete from db where user='kohaadmin'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> drop database Koha; Query OK, 180 rows affected (0.05 sec) mysql> \q Bye Nalez.y niezw?ocznie zrestartowac' daemona mysqld komenda; service mysqld restart jako root.

Yes, this is of interest to me!

Sounds like you still need to remove the koha user from mysql.user and mysql.db and the koha.conf file from the etcdir too. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing Help hack the EuroParl! http://mjr.towers.org.uk/proj/eurovote/
