| 02:59 | Presently | Is there any one here that might help with my databaso conversion problem? If so, have a look at http://pastebin.com/m342827fd. THanks. |
| 03:00 | chris | have you tried running |
| 03:00 | # | |
| 03:00 | select | |
| 03:00 | # items.* from items where holdingbranch not in (select branchcode from branches) | |
| 03:00 | Presently | Chris: I must say, I didn't quite understand that part. |
| 03:00 | chris | you know how to get into mysql from commandline? |
| 03:00 | Presently | Via mysql? |
| 03:00 | chris | yep |
| 03:01 | if you get into your Koha db | |
| 03:01 | and run | |
| 03:01 | Presently | I can do that much, though I am not a mysql-knowledgeable person. :) |
| 03:01 | chris | select items.* from items where holdingbranch not in (select branchcode from branches); |
| 03:01 | it will list all the items that have their holdingbranch set to a branch that doesnt exist | |
| 03:01 | Presently | That's the problem?! |
| 03:01 | chris | then you either make that branch (in the branches table) |
| 03:01 | Presently | How odd. |
| 03:02 | chris | well thats what mysql is complaining about |
| 03:02 | Presently | Oh. I think I know how that may have happened. If I'm right, I'll just delete those entries. |
| 03:02 | chris | or you can change their holding branches |
| 03:02 | Presently | Thanks. I'll try that now. |
| 03:02 | chris | or that :-) |
| 03:02 | maybe mysqldump the db first | |
| 03:02 | just in case | |
| 03:02 | you can never have too many backups | |
| 03:02 | mason | heya chrissa |
| 03:02 | chris | hey mason |
| 03:03 | mason | hows the monday... |
| 03:03 | chris | so far so good |
| 03:04 | mason | i are bathed in sunlight |
| 03:04 | chris | yeah its a nice day for a change |
| 03:04 | Presently | I backed up the database before I began. Just to be sure. |
| 03:05 | chris | cool |
| 03:05 | Presently | Though I may have added new entries.... Better do it again. |
| 03:05 | chris | yeah |
| 03:05 | cant hurt | |
| 03:07 | Presently | I performed the action and I see that I simply forgot to mark the branch for that entry. Can I change it directly from the mysql command? If so, how? |
| 03:07 | chris | yep |
| 03:08 | update items set holdingbranch='something' where itemnumber=the number of the one you need to change | |
| 03:08 | eg update items set holdingbranch='MAIN' where itemnumber=123 | |
| 03:08 | something like that .. but with the right values :) | |
| 03:09 | meeting time | |
| 03:10 | bbiab | |
| 03:10 | mason | cya |
| 03:10 | Presently | Alright. Thanks for your help. |
| 03:17 | Hmmm. I perform the update items command and then check to see that it has been executed succesfully, only to find it hasn't. Furthermore, when I push the up arrow to see what I entered, it gives me both commands many times.... | |
| 03:25 | Must I run another command so as to save the change made? | |
| 03:29 | Ah. 'Twas missing the ; at the end. | |
| 03:42 | chris | that'd do it |
| 04:06 | Amit | Hi List Good morning |
| 04:06 | IST | |
| 04:07 | Presently | Starting to be scared.... No search is turning up results.... |
| 04:08 | chris | this is in your 3.0 now? |
| 04:08 | have you done all the bits to do with zebra? | |
| 04:08 | Presently | Yes. |
| 04:08 | Amit | yes |
| 04:08 | Presently | Are they necessary to search? |
| 04:08 | chris | yes |
| 04:08 | Presently | Oh. |
| 04:09 | Phew. | |
| 04:09 | I'll get those done, then. | |
| 04:09 | By the way, how do I change the cotolog nonsense to catalogue? | |
| 04:09 | chris | yeah, for 3.0 (if you chose zebra for searching when running the wbe installer thing) |
| 04:09 | ahh a man after my own heart | |
| 04:09 | Presently | Is there a British ENglish option, or must I edit each file? |
| 04:09 | :-) | |
| 04:09 | chris | there should be one soon |
| 04:09 | mason | hi amit, |
| 04:10 | Presently | Very nice. |
| 04:10 | Amit | hi |
| 04:10 | chris | (it was all british english to start with .. or nz english anyway) |
| 04:10 | Amit | good morning |
| 04:10 | chris | but its been americanified |
| 04:10 | Presently | But International English is still British English.... |
| 04:10 | chris | yep, as i say, its been americanified |
| 04:11 | hence catalog, color etc | |
| 04:11 | Presently | Why would they do such a deed? |
| 04:12 | chris | because thats what american libraries expect to see |
| 04:13 | its not an issue, we just need localised english options again | |
| 04:13 | Presently | And are the Americans such a driving froce for New Zealandish software? |
| 04:13 | Not making a deal. Merely ranting over improper English. Hehe. | |
| 04:14 | I'll stop. | |
| 04:14 | chris | well its not english |
| 04:14 | its americanese | |
| 04:14 | Presently | HAHA! |
| 04:14 | chris | or american english at least |
| 04:14 | Presently | Silly Mr. Webster. |
| 04:14 | chris | yep |
| 04:14 | Presently | And the Puritans. |
| 04:14 | chris | even with out the missing u's |
| 04:14 | there are regional varieties | |
| 04:15 | eg, we dont call people patrons' | |
| 04:15 | you a member of the library | |
| 04:15 | here | |
| 04:15 | mason | i want to add a 'txtspk' language |
| 04:15 | chris | heh |
| 04:15 | mason | wont somebody think of the children! |
| 04:16 | Presently | I do. I want to teach them all proper English. |
| 04:16 | chris | ahh, how proper do you want to go? |
| 04:16 | Presently | I correct others when they err. Often much to their chagrin. |
| 04:16 | Very. | |
| 04:16 | chris | how far back then? :-) |
| 04:17 | Presently | Hyper-correct, with some oddities thrown in. |
| 04:17 | chris | thee and thou? |
| 04:17 | Presently | Absolutely. |
| 04:17 | Middle English at least. | |
| 04:17 | That's when the language started going down-hill. | |
| 04:17 | chris | heh, ok don quioxite :) |
| 04:17 | Presently | Funny, I'm reading that now.... |
| 04:18 | I'm half-way through the second volume. | |
| 04:18 | Poor Don Quixote, the daft knight. And Sancho, so easily duped by dreams of his ínsula! | |
| 04:20 | Quite. Is there a way to rerun the web-installer? | |
| 04:24 | For the search is still not working. | |
| 04:25 | mason | zebra or no zebra ? |
| 04:25 | Presently | With zebra. |
| 04:26 | mason | ps-ef | grep zeb ??? |
| 04:26 | Presently | bash: ps-ef: command not found |
| 04:26 | mason | you have the zebrasrv process running? |
| 04:26 | ps -ef | |
| 04:26 | Presently | I should. |
| 04:26 | I'll check. | |
| 04:28 | http://pastebin.com/mcc7eff7 | |
| 04:30 | mason | so , what i do here... is kill my zeb processes |
| 04:31 | and start them in the forground, so i can see what they are doing better | |
| 04:31 | Presently | Hold on: http://pastebin.com/m63e854fa |
| 04:31 | mason | but u can tail your zeb logs too... |
| 04:31 | tail -f /var/log/koha/*.log | |
| 04:33 | watch yr zeb logs as you search, confirm that your zebra procs are actually getting queries 1st | |
| 04:33 | gve it a conf arg | |
| 04:33 | /usr/bin/zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml | |
| 04:36 | http://pastebin.com/mcfcbd35 | |
| 04:37 | thats what a happy zebrasrv looks like starting, and searching | |
| 04:37 | Presently | Not mine: http://pastebin.com/m46575c8b |
| 04:38 | Amit | i have problem in my koha |
| 04:38 | there is some availbilty issuse | |
| 04:38 | mason | hmm, looks ok to me |
| 04:38 | Presently | Really? Then why does a search for waugh fail? |
| 04:38 | mason | i think your zeb is fine |
| 04:39 | Presently | Ah. |
| 04:39 | mason | have you done a reindex? |
| 04:39 | Presently | Something else, then. |
| 04:39 | What is a reindex? | |
| 04:39 | mason | $ rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r |
| 04:40 | Amit | mason r u there |
| 04:41 | Presently | By the bye, the webinstaller stops at step three. Is that all there is? |
| 04:41 | mason | cant remember... |
| 04:42 | if you are having zebra issues , a reindex is a easy way to ensure yr zebra indexes are up-to-date | |
| 04:42 | your 'waugh' bib may exist in yr koha mysql db, but zebra doesnt know about it yet | |
| 04:42 | Presently | I'm about to do it. |
| 04:43 | mason | $ set your KOHA_CONF env before u run it too |
| 04:47 | Amit, i think you should log your availability bug | |
| 04:47 | Amit | k |
| 04:47 | mason | bugs.koha.org |
| 04:48 | Amit | ok |
| 04:49 | mason | ok, back to some work for me too |
| 04:49 | Presently | mason: Thanks for your help. |
| 04:50 | mason | no probs, the zebra stuff is weird the first few times |
| 04:52 | Presently | But it still doesn't find Mr. Waugh. |
| 04:52 | mason | 'waugh' is a title |
| 04:52 | ? | |
| 04:52 | Presently | I know it is doing some thing right, for I see the different types of media. |
| 04:53 | No results match your search for 'au,wrdl: waugh' with limit(s): ' branch:MAIN' in The David R. Litwin Library Catalog. | |
| 04:53 | mason | thats not zebra... |
| 04:53 | Presently | No. |
| 04:53 | From the intranet. | |
| 04:53 | Sorry, I neglected to mention that, didn't I.? | |
| 04:53 | mason | stick to titles for inital debugging |
| 04:53 | Presently | Fair enough. |
| 04:55 | No results match your search for 'ti,wrdl: culina mundi' with limit(s): ' branch:MAIN' in The David R. Litwin Library Catalog. | |
| 04:55 | Searching for just culina mundi also fails. | |
| 04:55 | mason | soooo, does that bib exist in yr db? |
| 04:56 | chris | have you tried just a keyword search, without the branch limit |
| 04:56 | ie, just from the search the catalog(ue) bar thats on all the pages? | |
| 04:56 | mason | select * from biblio where title like '%mundi%' |
| 04:56 | uh, yeah | |
| 04:57 | Presently | The bibliography should exist: I put it in last week. |
| 04:57 | I also searched with out any extra parameters. | |
| 05:00 | mason | hmm, well , im out of immediate ideas |
| 05:00 | chris | does masons sql find any results in the mysql db? |
| 05:01 | mason | other common mistakes... u have more than one koha on yr system |
| 05:01 | and you are reindexing the wrong zeb db | |
| 05:02 | chris | mason: its one upgraded from 2.2 |
| 05:02 | Presently | Well, I have the old 2.2 koha, but I don't think that any config files point to it. |
| 05:02 | I am using the same db. | |
| 05:02 | mason | aaaah |
| 05:02 | chris | what you want to do is find the biblio in the mysql db |
| 05:02 | then find the corresponding biblioitem | |
| 05:02 | and check the marc is ok | |
| 05:03 | zebra indexes the marc that it gets from bibioitems table | |
| 05:03 | mason | sure |
| 05:03 | Presently | Aha! |
| 05:03 | chris | and that might have not been upgraded right |
| 05:03 | Presently | I was not using marc for the first iteration: I have only with the upgrade decided to use it. |
| 05:04 | mason | so, goofy biblioitems.marcxml field = goofy upgrade |
| 05:04 | Presently | Though, it should have filled it out nonetheless, no? |
| 05:04 | select * from biblio where title like '%mundi%' gives nothing, by the bye. | |
| 05:04 | chris | ahh theres the problem then |
| 05:04 | mason | ah, yep |
| 05:04 | chris | nothing with that title exists |
| 05:05 | Presently | Well that's not good. |
| 05:05 | chris | select count(*) from bibliol |
| 05:05 | select count(*) from biblio; | |
| 05:05 | even | |
| 05:05 | as many as youd expect? | |
| 05:05 | Presently | Never mind: forgot the ; again. |
| 05:06 | select count(*) from biblio; gives the correct number. | |
| 05:06 | chris | and with the ; does the mundi query give you one now? |
| 05:06 | Presently | It does. |
| 05:06 | chris | if so |
| 05:06 | then | |
| 05:07 | mason | and this is the punchline.... |
| 05:07 | chris | select marcxml from biblioitems where biblionumber=the biblionumber from that result |
| 05:07 | (with the ; :)) | |
| 05:09 | Presently | This gives the biblio information. |
| 05:10 | mason | pastebin it.. |
| 05:10 | Presently | http://pastebin.com/m3b8da252 |
| 05:11 | Amit | hi |
| 05:11 | what is the minimum requirement of server to run zebra | |
| 05:12 | chris | that all looks pretty good |
| 05:12 | when you run the search, what is zebra saying? | |
| 05:12 | amit: there isnt really one, anything you can run debian etch on :) | |
| 05:13 | Presently | http://pastebin.com/m295f7975 |
| 05:13 | Amit | i have a Dell server with 12GB but it search slow with zebra |
| 05:13 | mason | select * from branches where branchcode = 'MAIN'; |
| 05:13 | do you have a 'main' branch | |
| 05:14 | ive been caught by that bug.... | |
| 05:14 | Presently | I seem to. |
| 05:14 | chris | yeah zebra is returning no results |
| 05:14 | Presently | | MAIN | MAIN | |
| 05:14 | mason | good |
| 05:14 | chris | even when not restricting to main |
| 05:14 | so i dont think its that one | |
| 05:14 | hmm this is a new one for me | |
| 05:15 | Presently | O dear.... |
| 05:15 | chris | we are utterly sure its all reindexed eh? |
| 05:15 | mason can you remember how to query zebra with yaz to see how many records it has? | |
| 05:15 | Presently | I did it three times using perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r |
| 05:15 | and perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w | |
| 05:16 | But I must have done some thing incorrect. | |
| 05:16 | mason | hmm, lemme grep.. |
| 05:16 | Presently | And I suspect the web-install. It stopped at step three and asked me to login. There were no options for any thing at all. |
| 05:17 | I infered from README.debian there there would be. | |
| 05:17 | chris | ack, i have to bail from work and catch my bus to volleyball, good luck |
| 05:17 | Presently | Thanks. |
| 05:17 | Play well. | |
| 05:20 | http://pastebin.com/m714848f2 | |
| 05:21 | Is there a chance that zebra simply isn't listening for incomming requests? | |
| 05:21 | mason | you have an existing zeb running? |
| 05:21 | Presently | Perhaps my koha-conf.xml file is wrong? |
| 05:21 | I started two daemons via /etc/init.d | |
| 05:22 | mason | yr zeb *was* listening and responding to queries |
| 05:22 | Presently | Hmmmm. |
| 05:23 | mason | u cant start a new zeb if an existing one is using that port/socket........ |
| 05:24 | Presently | "/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml" doesn't exist. |
| 05:25 | mason | woah, babies have arrived here |
| 05:25 | Presently | But where'd it go? |
| 05:25 | I nanoed it.... | |
| 05:25 | It has absquatlulated! | |
| 05:25 | Or been 86ed. | |
| 05:26 | mason | 69ed |
| 05:27 | Presently | I need to find it. |
| 05:32 | ALright. | |
| 05:32 | Solved that mystery. | |
| 05:32 | The file has returned. | |
| 05:41 | The host parameter in the koha-conf.xml file: should it be localhost or the name of the computer or the ip address or dns name? | |
| 05:48 | Enough. I must away. I'll continue the effort on the morrow. Thank you kindly for your aid and patience. | |
| 05:50 | Amit | Hi |
| 05:50 | there is some availabilty problem | |
| 05:50 | in koha for branch | |
| 07:52 | hi | |
| 07:52 | list | |
| 09:01 | Hi | |
| 09:01 | List | |
| 09:01 | there is a question | |
| 09:01 | for availiblity of branches in koha | |
| 09:02 | mason | hi amit |
| 09:02 | Amit | hi |
| 09:02 | mason | so whats your question? |
| 09:03 | Amit | my question is |
| 09:04 | availbity of branches in koa | |
| 09:04 | koha | |
| 09:06 | mason | right , the bug you mentioned to be before |
| 09:07 | about only some of a bib's items showing as being available in a search result | |
| 09:07 | Amit | ok |
| 09:08 | mason | i tested it on a k3-stable last nite, and it looked like the bug is in there, on mine |
| 09:09 | Amit | hmm |
| 09:09 | mason | i havent tried on a git HEAD yet, tho... |
| 09:09 | Amit | i am also compare the code of koha-beta and koha stable |
| 09:09 | because in koha beta its show all the branches | |
| 09:09 | in availibility | |
| 09:10 | while searching | |
| 09:10 | mason | can u take a backup of yr k3beta, and upgrade it to stable, and see if it breaks.... |
| 09:11 | Amit | ok |
| 09:11 | i will be test | |
| 09:12 | mason | might not be a bug in search-results code , might be a bug do with some values in our items.* records too |
| 09:13 | Amit | no |
| 09:13 | i think something is missing in search.pm | |
| 09:13 | module | |
| 09:13 | mason | you looked? |
| 09:13 | what part of file? | |
| 09:14 | Amit | because i m comparing line by line code of both |
| 09:15 | mason | ok - i need to switch back to some work now, nearly finished.. |
| 10:03 | Amit | hi |
| 10:03 | mason r u there |
