11:02 kados hey owen
11:02 paul: yay
11:03 owen Hi kados, I have a couple of questions to hit you with this morning.
11:03 We're getting an error from one of our patron records, and I'm trying to check the log and I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place.
11:04 /var/log/apache2/error.log ?
11:04 paul a very tricky problem : shelves.pl & branches.pl where using global variables & that's wrong for mod_perl. We still have a problem : a borrowernumber that appears in circulation.pl & the circ don't work.
11:04 kados owen: it depends on the error, for some reason, some are logged there, and some to the /koha/log/intranet-error.log
11:05 owen: I haven't had a chance to figure out why everything isn't logged to the /koha logs
11:05 paul: that is tricky!
11:05 paul: so circ is still very slow?
11:06 paul: I'm concerned about the speed and I fear there must be a missconfiguration as I have four dev_week installations that don't have any speed problems
11:06 paul alaurin is investigating.
11:06 I did some benchmarking with & without mod_perl.
11:07 without major SQL needs (or zebra), but just apache/perl requests :
11:07 - without mod_perl : 1.6 requests/seconds
11:07 - with mod_perl : 50 requests/seconds.
11:07 owen kados: when I try to look at /koha/log/intranet-error.log it says it doesn't exist
11:09 kados owen: er?
11:09 paul: that's a huge difference!
11:10 owen: ahh, my fault
11:10 owen: /koha/log/koha-error.log
11:10 paul it will be lower with mySQL/zebra load needed. but that will be a big diff anyway I bet.
11:10 kados owen: you can alwasy go: sudo ls /koha/log/
11:11 paul: zebra should be on it's own disk if possible
11:11 paul: it will compete with mysql
11:11 paul it is on SAN-OP (not on my computer, so I can't test this)
11:13 owen kados: when I look at koha-error_log, it lists the "Premature end..." error, but no details about the error.
11:13 kados owen: hmmm ...
11:14 owen: yea, that's the weird bit
11:14 owen: for some reason apache isn't logging everything to that log, even though the virtualhost tells it to
11:15 owen: what's the error you're getting and what's it triggered by?
11:16 owen Okay...it looks like my error was just getting buried in the other log by all the search queries.
11:16 Date::Calc::Date_to_Days(): not a valid date at circulation.pl line 141.
11:16 kados yea, that's a pain :-)
11:16 owen loading results at search line 169.
11:16 kados ahh, right
11:16 and it's an issue?
11:16 owen That comes up when loading a patron record in circulation.pl
11:17 kados that's the expiry section
11:17 so the date for that patron must not be set right
11:18 should be easy to fill in a default value
11:18 in the script
11:18 owen Weird... I was told that was a brand new record. I wonder why the expiry didn't get entered...
11:18 Joining date is blank too...
11:18 kados hmmm, weird
11:19 owen I'll have to check some other recent registrations to make sure everything's okay
11:19 Anyway...my other question is about your recent change to Amazon.pm
11:19 kados hehe, yea ...
11:19 we do need to talk about that one
11:20 sorry, I was writing a long email to NGC4LIB and needed to prove a point
11:20 owen :) ?!
11:20 kados are you on that list?
11:20 owen Yeah, but I don't follow it closely at all
11:20 Which thread?
11:21 "Use of Amazon.com content..."?
11:21 kados that's part of the thread
11:22 it started wtih the laundry list
11:22 I did a response on 'how koha measures up'
11:22 and got like 30 emails about missuse of Amazon content :-)
11:22 so I wrote that Use of Amazon.com content email
11:23 but one of the posters mentioned that the detail page links to the readers link even if it doesn't exist
11:23 well we can't have that! :-)
11:23 so now it doesn't :-)
11:23 you'll need to commit the template changes I made
11:24 and might want to clean up the link to amazon.com too
11:24 I couldn't find the permalink to a item record at 2am last night :-)
11:26 owen Ah, that's what I was wondering about
11:26 We should have the generic link where the search-inside link isn't available.
11:27 kados yep, I agree
11:27 just coudln't find it at 2am :-)
11:29 owen This looks like a good terse format: http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0670038199
11:29 kados yup
11:40 owen kados, Aren't you fudging a bit to say that Koha handles 'metarecords?' Isn't that only if you don't use MARC?
11:52 kados owen: not sure I said it does handle metarecords ... just said that it's one elegent solution to the problem ;-)
11:52 owen Did you make changes to the RSS/OpenSearch stuff too? I thought that was broken
11:52 kados yea, I fixed it :-)
11:53 we will need a new sysref to put in the library's a9 id
11:54 (and BTW, in HEAD, Tumer's already written the metarecord stuff)
11:55 the funny thing is that we understood that problem years ago
11:55 and chris solved it
