| 12:07 | martinmorris | hi all |
| 12:07 | i've just installed the lastest checkout of koha 3 and having a problem at two stages | |
| 12:07 | i had the same probelm when i installed the previous version but i can't remember how it was solved so i'm just after a prod in the right direction | |
| 12:08 | masonj | hiya martin, |
| 12:08 | martinmorris | hi mason |
| 12:08 | masonj | where do u hit the 1st problem? |
| 12:09 | martinmorris | i'm browsing to http://<ip address:8080 and getting CGI::Carp errors |
| 12:09 | Can't call method "selectrow_array" on unblessed reference at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/C4/Context.pm line 406. | |
| 12:09 | Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/C4/Biblio.pm line 30. | |
| 12:09 | and follow on errors | |
| 12:09 | looks like a database problem but i can't see what | |
| 12:09 | masonj | hmm, mysql user perms, i think |
| 12:10 | martinmorris | well i did wonder, but i'm able to connect to the koha database from the command line on the machine where the webbrowser is installed |
| 12:10 | masonj | i ad the same error just today , with a incorrect admin password in my koha.xml conf file |
| 12:10 | martinmorris | ah ok ,ill check that |
| 12:10 | thanks | |
| 12:11 | that's koha-conf.xml? | |
| 12:11 | masonj | looks... |
| 12:13 | martinmorris | the password looks right in there |
| 12:13 | masonj | ok, can u get to the db from the comandline , using that user:passwd ? |
| 12:15 | martinmorris | yes I can |
| 12:15 | masonj | hmmm |
| 12:16 | martinmorris | i'm noticing that my /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/koha directory no longer exists (it did in the previous koha v.3 that i checked out and installed) |
| 12:17 | masonj | right, that could have been due to a recent dir shuffle... ? |
| 12:18 | martinmorris | there was previously a problem in the installer with some stuff not copying over because of more than one . (dot) in the file name |
| 12:18 | has there recently been a directory shuffle? right i didn't know that | |
| 12:19 | masonj | im not sure either, but ive seen some talk in the mailing lists about debian-izing the dir structure recently.., |
| 12:20 | martinmorris | oh dear right ok |
| 12:20 | well that hasn't been reflected in the koha apache config file it seems | |
| 12:21 | masonj | just a theory at this stage :) |
| 12:21 | martinmorris | fair enough :) |
| 12:22 | masonj | still looking... |
| 12:29 | hmm, still there | |
| 12:30 | if you go to line 19 of Context.pm, and add a ' use Smart::Comments;' | |
| 12:30 | after the ' use strict;' line | |
| 12:32 | its going to dump the some good info into your koha-error.log | |
| 12:42 | martinmorris | sorry phone call, back |
| 12:42 | will try that now thanks | |
| 12:43 | masonj | its should dump out your $Context object at line 506 |
| 12:44 | which will show you exactly what conf values its using, when its failing | |
| 12:45 | its handy for revealing config file typos , and such... | |
| 12:47 | sorry, line 560, not 506 | |
| 13:09 | [K] | *** join #koha FreeNode: phasefx_ n=phasefx_68-190-35-14.dhcp.gwnt.ga.charter.com |
| 14:01 | martinmorris | hello back again |
| 14:03 | i noticed that i didn't have a /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/koha/templates/koha-tmpl/ directory | |
| 14:03 | i can copy this all over from the directory tree i checked out but the files seem to appear in two places | |
| 14:04 | <directory>/koha-tmpl and <directory>/blib/lib/koha/templates/koha-tmpl/ | |
| 14:30 | right that's fixed but stil having CGI::Carp problems and i've installed Smart::Comments and edited Context.pm | |
| 14:30 | didn't make any difference | |
| 14:31 | hdl | masonj: who is in charge of C4::Dates ? |
| 14:34 | masonj | joe atz has been doing the recent dates stuff hdl |
| 14:34 | martinmorris | hi me again |
| 14:35 | that's now fixed but the web installer is cycling on Step 3 | |
| 14:35 | masonj | ok , whats step again ? :) |
| 14:35 | hdl | atz around ? |
| 14:35 | masonj | martin, remember to put a tail -f on the log, and watch whats happening there |
| 14:36 | martinmorris | where it creates the database tables and puts in default data |
| 14:36 | masonj | sorry, whats step 3 again? |
| 14:36 | click | |
| 14:37 | martinmorris | it doesn't actually create the database tables |
| 14:38 | masonj | right, if you tail the log, you should see the failing db calls there |
| 14:38 | martinmorris | the mysql log? |
| 14:38 | masonj | naw, the koha error log |
| 14:38 | its defined in your koha apache conf file | |
| 14:39 | martinmorris | yeah i've got it |
| 14:40 | masonj | sumting like this... |
| 14:40 | ErrorLog /opt/koha/log/production-opac-error_log | |
| 14:40 | martinmorris | yep, found the error, thanks |
| 14:40 | something didn't copy over during install | |
| 14:40 | masonj | oops, intranet , not opac... |
| 14:40 | ErrorLog /opt/koha/log/production-intranet-error_log | |
| 14:41 | yep, you got it | |
| 14:45 | martinmorris | fixed :) |
| 14:45 | path problems in koha-conf.xml and some files didn't copy over | |
| 14:46 | masonj | woo, nice one! |
| 14:46 | martinmorris | hmm, actually no |
| 14:46 | it didn't ask me for my MARC flavour or offer to install sample data | |
| 14:47 | yep, no MARC framework | |
| 14:47 | assume i can do that manually | |
| 14:47 | masonj | yeah, there is a marcframewrk.sql file about |
| 14:48 | if you, mysql -u me -p foo koha < ./marcframewrk.sql | |
| 14:49 | that should load the framewrk defs. in | |
| 14:49 | martinmorris | indeed :) |
| 14:50 | masonj | then perhaps , check and/or set your 'marcflavour' syspref, |
| 14:51 | if your install *did* miss some steps out, your koha might be in a goofy state | |
| 14:51 | martinmorris | it's a bit odd, but i'm copying stuff over when the error log complains |
| 14:53 | paul | owen around ? |
| 14:53 | martinmorris | one other thing, i notice that the DocumentRoot in apache for the intranet and opac is the same |
| 14:53 | /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/koha/templates/koha-tmpl/ | |
| 14:53 | paul | nope. he is even not connected... |
| 14:54 | masonj | hmm, docroot issue looks incorrect, unless its changed recently ... |
| 14:55 | martinmorris | yes, so i'm getting errors in the koha error log complaining that it can't find various things |
| 14:55 | e.g. File does not exist: /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/koha/templates/koha-tmpl/yahoo-dom-event | |
| 14:55 | that's in /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/koha/templates/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/lib/yui | |
| 14:55 | masonj | whats your sysprefs table look like , many rows? |
| 14:56 | martinmorris | no :) |
| 14:56 | need to load that in clearly | |
| 14:56 | masonj | that also happens around 'step-3'... |
| 14:57 | so , you might wanna have another go at the install | |
| 14:57 | martinmorris | yes, that step was f***'d totally |
| 14:58 | i might | |
| 14:58 | masonj | try the mysql < sysprefs.sql fix |
| 14:58 | martinmorris | have now loaded the sysprefs.sql though and that's looking healthier |
| 14:58 | just did that, thanks :) | |
| 14:58 | masonj | yeah, youll prolly have to manually twiddle the systpref values yourself tho, trial and error there |
| 14:59 | look for the nozebra spref too | |
| 15:09 | atz | hdl: Dates patch for Circulation.pm is in the queue |
| 15:09 | hdl | ok thanks |
| 15:09 | atz | hdl: if you would like, I can email you a copy directly. just let me know |
| 15:09 | . | |
| 15:10 | hdl | if it is pushed soon, i will wait. |
| 15:11 | joshua is supposed to be on vacation but sends email about QA so it could be that he will push stuff soon | |
| 15:12 | atz | actually, he was in Santa Cruz for business |
| 15:13 | but the California coast and sunshine would feel like a vacation regardless! | |
| 16:12 | fbcit | martinmorris: if u'r still around... makefile is in a state of flux and overhaul with many issues as it stands in the repo |
| 16:12 | gmcharlt is working on it... so it should be straight soon :) | |
| 16:14 | gmcharlt: regarding z3950 searches based on lccn: should I make the use of it conditional on marcflavour? | |
| 16:14 | paul | does someone know if rch is around or can be around ? |
| 16:15 | fbcit | hdl, paul you may have some thoughts about that.... |
| 16:15 | paul | (I want to speak of opac-shelves commit that he did and conflicted with mine) |
| 16:15 | gmcharlt | fbcit: I'm guessing that LCCNs are used only by MARC21 users, but paul or hdl might know if UNIMARC has it as well |
| 16:15 | atz | paul: rch was in last night, will be back today |
| 16:15 | paul: did you receive my patch? | |
| 16:15 | paul | yep, but could not apply it yet. |
| 16:17 | fbcit | paul || hdl do UNIMARC users do z3950 searches based on LCCN? |
| 16:17 | atz | joshua started pushing up more patches this morning, it looks like |
| 16:17 | paul | atz : yep : 19 patches. none of the 25 one i've sent yesterday, so I bet there are some still pending ;-) |
| 16:17 | atz | yeah, only half of mine so far! |
| 16:18 | paul | fbcit: afaik, isbn is the most used term. |
| 16:18 | title being the other one. | |
| 16:18 | I don't know anyone using lccn here | |
| 16:18 | (isbn is very interesting : you scan the barcode, and it's almost done !) | |
| 16:21 | fbcit | paul: do I need to make it conditional based on marcflavour? |
| 16:22 | atz | owen: hopefully you can just rebase and resubmit |
| 16:22 | one of mine bounced back this morning... | |
| 16:23 | i guess it is to be expected w/ the high volume of changes | |
| 16:27 | fbcit | gmcharlt && paul: I'll just send up the patches w/o regard to marcflavour for now... it doesn't seem that the availability of it will hurt either one. |
| 16:27 | it can be added later if there are problems. | |
| 16:35 | paul_: isbn is nice, but I have some older volumes which have only LCCN :( | |
| 16:44 | gmcharlt: in a particular marc framework, how do I ensure that a particular marc tag displays in Add MARC Record? | |
| 16:54 | gmcharlt | fbcit: controlled by value of marc_subfield_structure.hidden |
| 16:58 | fbcit | gmcharlt: I see... the field refers me to "(see online help)"... it is presently '-6'... what is the underlying logic? |
| 16:58 | does '0' = visible? | |
| 16:58 | gmcharlt | fbcit: see help from that page (i.e., ./koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/help/admin/marc_subfields_structure.tmpl) |
| 16:58 | short answer: it's complicated | |
| 16:58 | fbcit | ahhh |
| 17:00 | gmcharlt | fbcit: well, it's not like you currently get useful help *every* time you click the '?' link :) |
| 17:41 | owen | Are stop words (as defined in Koha preferences) used by Zebra? |
| 18:00 | hdl | owen: no |
| 18:01 | they are used for zebra query building though | |
| 18:01 | owen | thanks, hdl, I was just noticing the "stopwords_removed" stuff in results.tmpl, and wondered when that came up |
| 18:04 | atz | what is this code supposed to represent? C4::Context->userenv->{'number'} |
| 18:07 | owen | atz, since it's associated with writing to the log, I'd guess it was the currently-logged-in user's borrowernumber |
| 18:07 | (since that is what is recorded to the log) | |
| 18:07 | But that's just a guess | |
| 18:08 | atz | that would make sense..... *except* that it's used in AddMember |
| 18:10 | owen | Everywhere I see it it's in conjunction with &logaction() |
| 18:10 | atz | yeah |
| 18:11 | so the question is how to set it for newly Added member, hopefully without resorting to a query back to the same table | |
| 18:32 | aklibrarian1 | Good morning. |
| 18:34 | I have a file that I think is a misspelled config file that I am trying to find out if it is real. koha-httpd.cpnf - when I look at it and compare it to koha-httpd.conf it is identical, can I remove the cpnf file? | |
| 18:35 | atz | you can check for differences with "diff" |
| 18:36 | diff koha-httpd.conf koha-httpd.cpnf | |
| 18:36 | you only need the one that Apache uses to be correct | |
| 18:39 | aklibrarian1 | If I don't get anything with that command, does that mean that there are no differences? Thanks Atz |
| 18:39 | atz | yep, no output means identical files |
| 19:41 | aklibrarian1 | Does anyone have a machine that runs Koha without being on the Internet? I am having problems with the virtual hosts for Apache2 |
| 19:42 | atz | not sure what you mean, aklibrarian1 |
| 19:42 | you can run koha on LAN, yes | |
| 19:43 | but the opac and client are both (apache) web based | |
| 19:43 | so even if you were running it on your circulation desk PC, you would need apache to work | |
| 19:44 | aklibrarian1 | Shoot, I have it on a machine next to my desk. It tells me that there are no virtual hosts. I have it set up so it looks like it is correct, i.e. the same way the docs say to do it. |
| 19:48 | ryan | paul_: about ? |
| 20:02 | fbcit | aklibrarian1: check koha-httpd.conf for 'listen 8080' line. |
| 20:21 | aklibrarian1 | I have a listen 8080 line in koha-httpd.conf I checked as to whether I had included koha-httpd.conf in apache2.conf and I had. |
| 22:31 | AmrEssam | hi there |
| 22:32 | gmcharlt | hi AmrEssam |
| 00:29 | aklibrarian1 | atz are you still around? |
| 00:30 | You said I can run Koha on a LAN, how would I have to configure Apache? | |
| 00:31 | gmcharlt | aklibrarian1: I think atz is away, but I can give it a shot |
| 00:32 | so on a LAN, question is whether you can easily update DNS to give internal names for your virtual hosts | |
| 00:32 | if you don't have that access, you can use port based virtual hosts, like this: | |
| 00:32 | Listen 8080 | |
| 00:32 | <VirtualHost *:8080> | |
| 00:33 | then comment out the ServerName directive | |
| 00:33 | you can do the same for both OPAC and intranet, just assign different ports | |
| 00:33 | e.g, 8080 for intranet | |
| 00:33 | and 8088 for OPAC | |
| 00:34 | then you would go to http://internal.ip.address:8080/ or http://internal.ip.address:8088/ | |
| 01:25 | masonj | sweet advice galen |
| 01:27 | gmcharlt | masonj: thanks |
| 02:29 | fbcit-1 | gmcharlt: looks like installer is getting some good markes judging from koha-dev |
