05:47 indraveni I need help in installing koha in my debian etch system
05:47 koha guring installation showed the following messages
05:48 DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Table 'Koha.systempreferences' doesn't exist at scripts/updater/updatedatabase line 2138.
05:48 and this has been repeated for every file in scripts/updater/..
05:50 hello any one there who can help me hreer
05:50 here
05:50 please
06:14 hdl indraveni: debian Etch uses default mysql 5.0 .
06:14 on which Koha has troubles.
06:14 indraveni hdl, so what do i need to do
06:14 hdl Maybe you should consider installing Mysql 4.1
06:14 manually
06:15 indraveni hdl, ok i will check
06:15 hdl youre welcom
06:27 indraveni hdl, how can i uninstall koha and reinstall
06:39 Anarka you can install mysql 4.1 from sarge
06:40 just add a sarge source to sources.list
06:40 aptitude update and then aptitude install mysql-server -t stable
06:41 indraveni :)
06:41 indraveni Anarka, yes i did it
06:42 now how to reinstall koha?
06:42 Anarka if you installed mysql4.1 dunno if you need to reinstall
06:42 or just purge the old mysql database
06:43 indraveni Anarka, I installed mysql
06:43 Anarka, I am talking about koha
06:44 Anarka first time you are trying koha ?
06:44 so the db is empty... just aptitude purge mysql-server
06:44 and it will delete the databases
06:45 indraveni Anarka, ok
06:45 Anarka and then reinstall it
06:45 indraveni Anarka, then I tried executing perl installer.pl
06:45 Anarka unless of course you have that on the db
06:45 indraveni its showing koha is already installed?
06:45 Anarka no uninstaller ?
06:45 unfortanly i dont use koha on debian
06:47 i installed it a couple of times on debian... pretty straitforward
06:51 chris remove the /etc/koha.conf file
06:52 and then run installer.pl
06:52 or mv /etc/koha.conf /etc/koha.conf.old
06:52 and run installer.pl
06:52 thats what it looks for to check if its already installed
06:52 Anarka eheh
06:52 neat :)
06:52 but considering he installed with mysql5 still he should drop the db
06:53 or not :P
06:53 chris safest to drop it
06:53 mysqladmin -uroot -p drop Koha
06:54 then mv the /etc/koha.conf
06:54 and run installer.pl
06:55 and now my 2 week old son needs his nappy changed, and I need some sleep, catch you later
06:55 indraveni chris, Anarka thankyou, but its not too easy to install mysql 4.1
06:55 chris one other thing
06:55 take a look here
06:55 Anarka it's the way i said indraveni
06:56 you werent able to install it ?
06:56 chris http://blog.katipo.co.nz/?p=18
06:56 if you want to run mysql 5 you can, you just have to make some changes
06:57 if you make the changes in the emails linked to from that blog entry
06:57 it should all work
06:57 indraveni chris, please tell me those changes
06:58 as if i am tring to install mysql 4.1 version, I need to uninstall lot of packages from etch
06:58 chris look at that url, and click on the lnks
06:58 the changes are there
06:58 indraveni its is asking for system downgrading
06:58 Anarka indraveni !?
06:58 lemme see
06:58 indraveni chris, ok
06:58 chris now i really must go to bed :)
06:58 g'night
06:58 Anarka night :)
06:59 indraveni can you paste the results when you do a aptitude install mysql-server -t stable ?
07:00 indraveni ya, i min
07:01 Anarka if you dont use aptitude often try with apt-get
07:01 the first times you use aptitude it sometimes want to make you pay for been using apt-get :P
08:54 indraveni Anarka, chris sorry for late reply
08:55 Anarka, chris I edited the koha.mysql file as given in the above link for allowing mysql 5 to access
08:55 and the database is updated now
08:55 but I am not able to access the koha
08:55 after the installation, it showed like You will be able to connect to your Librarian interface at:
08:55 http://boss:8080/
08:56 and when i tried to access it, nothing is been displayed
