RE: [Koha-devel] request bulkmarcimport assistance
Hi Joshua! I have tried to respond below so that you may be able to figure out where I am in the process.

[I have /var/lib/mysql/csl and /var/lib/mysql/cslr and wish to relocate them to /csl/anydir1 and /csl/anydir2 ; see below] The way to distinguish between two koha installs (provided that you want the database to be different for them) is to specify a different database name for each of them (for instance, koha1 and koha2). ### I have done this. [csl and cslr] You'll also probably want to use a different admin account for ease of administration (e.g., kohaadmin1, kohaadmin2). ### I have done this. You will also want to keep the koha paths different for those two installs (e.g., /usr/local/koha1, /usr/local/koha2), ### I have done this. [/csl/koha/csl and /csl/koha/cslr] as well as have a seperate koha.conf file for each of them (e.g., /usr/local/koha1/etc/koha.conf, /usr/local/koha2/etc/koha.conf). ### I have done this. [/etc/koha-csl.conf and /etc/koha-cslr.conf as well as /etc/koha-httpd-csl.conf and /etc/httpd-cslr.conf, pointing properly, I think, since I can call up both user interfaces and both admin interfaces on the net at the designated ip adddresses. The fastest way to do this is during the initial installation of Koha, when it asks you those specific questions, though it would be possible to set it up later on. Of course, the install is not really setup to handle multiple installations so you'll still need to customize some things once you have run both installations. ### I think I have gotten the initial dual setup done "properly" but, as you say, some customization remains. For me this appears to entail getting koha to import marc records to a dir specified by me [/csl/anydir1 or /csl/anydir2] and getting and koha and/or mysql (maybe just mysql?) to look for the data in the that location specified by me, not in /var/lib/mysql/csl or /var/lib/mysql/cslr as the case may be. There MUST be a config file with these paths or variable to them somewhere; I'm just not sure where to look. ### There's one other issue that I think is important. When I ran the bulkmarcimport.pl from the /csl/koha/_"csl"_ directory, the data ended up in the /var/lib/mysql/_"cslr"_ directory. "cslr" was the _second_ of the two install routines I did, so this leads me to believe that bulkmarcimport.pl, no matter the dir in which it is executed, is running in the same "context" [?]. What files does bulkmarcimport.pl look at? ### Sincere thanks for your assistance.

Mark, could it be that your perl can't find the Koha C4 directory? (Although that usually produces a different error.) Try this:
Before you run "./bulkmarcimport.pl", export the directory where C4 resides: # export PERL5LIB=/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules (that's the normal directory for most installs, change it if yours is different.)
Or if you use bulkmarcimport a lot, add this line to the list of "use" statements at the beginning of the script: use lib "/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules";

There MUST be a config file with these paths or variable to them somewhere; I'm just not sure where to look. Especially since you're running FC3 this is a bad idea (it will really annoy SElinux). In general, I'd recommend keeping the standard database directory that mysql uses.
### There's one other issue that I think is important. When I ran the bulkmarcimport.pl from the /csl/koha/_"csl"_ directory, the data ended up in the /var/lib/mysql/_"cslr"_ directory.

I suspect that your second install overwrote or appended the path variables so a command like the one Stephen suggested might work. You should also make sure that your installation is actually using the right koha.conf file and not another one (check for /etc/koha.conf for instance). Joshua

For instance, afaik Koha will always put the koha.conf file in /etc. Just copy that file to wherever you want to store it and update your koha-httpd.conf accordingly.
