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.

Hi Thomas 2009/10/8 Thomas Krichel <krichel@openlib.org>:
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.
All great suggestions What would be even greater is if you fired off a patch to koha-patches@lists.koha.org :) Conversely if you dont have time to do that, could you file a bug, at bugs.koha.org so these don't slip off the radar Thank you Chris

This suggestion is not optimal. It is better to say | aptitude install apache2 | aptitude install apache2-mpm-worker etc because aptitude has a better dependency resolver than apt-get. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel http://authorclaim.org/profile/pkr1 skype: thomaskrichel
