[Koha-devel] 100$a mapping fixed

[Ian Bays]

Hi.
You may find that the memcache was holding on to the old framework 
definitions and marc mappings.  It can be confusing as for the most part 
configuration changes on Koha are applied instantly. However we have 
observed that framework-related changes only come into effect when 
memcache daemon is restarted.  Rebooting the server would certainly 
restart memcache ;-)
If you have command line access with sudo access you can restart the 
memcache daemon rather than rebooting.
It fooled us for a while until we figured it out.
Cheers.
Ian
