03:50 druthb Namaste, kmkale.  :D
03:51 space_librarian Namaste, kmkale. :)
03:51 druthb All set to throw a mighty conference in Thane?
03:51 kmkale heya druthb Yup :)
03:51 hi space_librarian
03:52 I was away for a few days doing a Koha training trip in Konkan, then the weekend. But this is great
03:52 druthb I'm excited about the idea of coming to India for the con!  It'll be fun.
03:52 kmkale yes. 1 min on phone..
03:55 druthb: I hope everyone will come.
03:56 I am going to throw up a site with registrations and speakers etc asap
03:57 rangi: around?
03:58 rangi for a few more mins, then ill be back from the bus a bit later also
03:58 whats up?
04:00 druthb kmkale:  once I know for sure that I'm going, I'll jump in with *some* kind of presentation proposal, I imagine.  It's hard for me to speak about what I do, because it comes so naturally to me--it'd be like speaking about how to breathe or perspire or make your heart beat.  You don't think about it, you just *do* it, mostly.
04:01 kmkale this kocon I think we will have a lot of student participation
04:01 brendan_ left #koha
04:01 kmkale so think about how to get new ppl into koha dev or guide budding librarians on to koha
04:02 * space_librarian agrees
04:05 kmkale getting the international Koha community here and exposing our librarians and students to you good people is the whole purpose behind bidding for kohacon for us
04:06 * rangi heads for the bus, bbl
04:09 kmkale brb. gonna reboot

05:16 druthb hi, Brooke!
05:16 Brooke_ :)
05:28 kmkale hey Brooke_
05:28 wahanui i think Brooke_ is not quite as she tries to appear.  It's okay, though; she's really very sweet.
05:28 Brooke_ wahanui: forget brooke
05:28 wahanui Brooke_, I didn't have anything matching brooke
05:28 ronald joined #koha
05:28 Brooke_ wahanui: forget Brooke_
05:28 wahanui Brooke_: I forgot brooke_
05:29 Brooke_ how's it going?
05:29 druthb?
05:29 wahanui druthb is quite possibly insane, but she fits right in at ByWater Solutions, because of it.
05:29 Brooke_ ehhhh
05:30 * druthb sticks her thumbs in her ears and goes "wugga wugga wugga!"
05:30 Brooke_ I like the stuff I read in the logs about the conference :)
05:33 kmkale Brooke_: I hope you are coming to India :)
05:33 * Brooke_ hopes so, too.
05:33 * druthb hopes so, too.
05:33 kmkale :)
05:33 Brooke_ elephant ride = mandatory.
05:34 kmkale hehe. In Thane. That will  be a tough one..
05:34 druthb hee hee
05:34 Brooke_ I'll go into the country
05:34 * druthb finding a beautiful saree = mandatory.
05:34 kmkale Or may be not. There are people who hire for weeings etc. Will find out
05:35 druthb: thats easy
05:35 druthb :)
05:35 * Brooke_ prolly should have kept one of her mum's...
05:35 kmkale druthb: selecting from the shree variety is the problem
05:35 my typing is on a whack today
05:36 druthb Oh, looking at sites online, there's an astonishing variety...  I know what colors tend to work on me (read as: What I'll wear in public, and what I won't.), which does help narrow things down a bit.
05:36 Brooke_ pfft
05:37 * druthb glares at the peanut gallery.
05:38 kmkale druthb: apart from the colors there are too many types of cloth; silk and what not..
05:38 ronald left #koha
05:39 Brooke_ girly stuff is gonna put me under
05:39 druthb So I've gathered.  Lots of different sorts of embroidery and prints, too.    Fun!  :D
05:39 pooooor  Brooke!
05:44 Brooke_ left #koha

08:06 Veera hi
08:06 good morning
08:07 kf good morning Veera
08:07 Veera I am from American university in Kuwait
08:07 magnuse hiya Veera
08:07 Veera I need your assistance in some module in koha
08:08 I have recently installed koha live cd 3.2 version
08:09 if you could guide me to setup z39.50
08:09 as I could not importa data of LOC
08:09 I mean MARC
08:09 please help
08:10 kf Veera: when you go to cataloging > z39.50 search - is loc listed there as a search target?
08:10 Veera yes
08:10 it is listed
08:10 kf and when you search for a word in the title, what message do you get?
08:11 Veera no msg..and no action
08:11 kf are you behind a firefall?
08:11 Veera simple staying inthe same search page
08:11 no
08:11 even our system admin was checking the same
08:12 kf firefall is firewall ...
08:12 so nothing happens when you click on search?
08:12 Veera yes
08:12 kf hm
08:12 Veera could you please help in this
08:12 ?
08:12 kf it works for me without problems :(
08:13 magnuse me too
08:13 kf I am using a 3.2.2 install
08:13 Veera is there any where we should enable an option
08:13 magnuse Veera: what title did you search for?
08:13 Veera ?
08:13 management
08:14 infact, I tried different keywords
08:14 nothing
08:14 magnuse i get lots of results for management
08:14 hm
08:15 have you tried other z39.50 targets?
08:15 Veera ya
08:15 I tried
08:15 but the problem is that page has no action
08:15 at all
08:16 magnuse no results for any z39.50 target?
08:16 Veera no
08:16 rangi i think Veera is saying the form doesnt submit
08:16 what browser are you using Veera
08:16 ?
08:17 kf hi rangi
08:18 Veera IE
08:19 but the server is mossila
08:19 client is IE
08:19 rangi try with firefox
08:20 paul_p joined #koha
08:22 Veera the server machine I tried with firebox
08:22 no result
08:22 the same
08:23 rangi i have no more ideas then im afraid, it works fine here also
08:23 francharb joined #koha
08:23 Veera is there any place where should we enable some option or something???
08:23 rangi no
08:23 kf Veera: which language are you using?
08:23 francharb hellp #koha
08:24 kf morning francharb :)
08:24 francharb hi kf
08:24 Veera left #koha
08:27 * magnuse just tested copy cataloguing with IE on Vista and Koha 3.2.2 - the form looked strange but it did return results
08:27 rangi could be something with the live cd set up
08:28 like it might be set to use remote yui, instead of local, and i think yahoo have broken the remote one
08:28 kf makes sense
08:29 if she is not using the english templates that sometimes is a good test to - change back to english and test to rule out problems with the translation
08:29 but I am not aware of a problem with this template
08:33 magnuse i winder what she meant by "server is mossila"...
08:39 kf perhaps that she has mozilla (firefox) installed on the machine where koha is running?
08:40 magnuse ah, might be
08:42 paul_p hello everybody

12:15 kmkale any thoughts on making the KohaCon11 site using http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ocs or mediawiki is better?
12:23 druthb kmkale:  that has some nice facilities!~
12:23 kmkale yup
12:24 never used it though so dont know if it will have flexibility

12:29 magnus_lunch is now known as magnuse
12:29 magnuse trying out ocs would be cool!
12:29 hello mihafan
12:30 mihafan I have a problem with ldap authentication
12:30 Description of problem:  On local machine is installed windows server 2003 with configured active directory <nabble_img src="ad_.png" border="0" alt="acive directory"/>, I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on another machine, here I installed Koha 3.0 which still works well. Koha have configured to allow users from Active Directory authenticate via LDAP module in Koha d
12:31 koha-conf.xml contents:
12:31 <useldapserver>1</useldapserver>   <ldapserver id="ldapserver">
12:31 <hostname>192.168.11.90:389</hostname> <!-- address of LDAP server -->
12:32 <base>dc=koha,dc=md</base>
12:32 <user>cn=Administrator,cn=​Users,dc=koha,dc=md</user>
12:32 <pass>Q1W2e3r4</pass>
12:32 <replicate>1</replicate>
12:32 <update>1</update>
12:32 <mapping>
12:32 <firstname    is="givenName"      ></firstname>        <surname      is="sn"             ></surname>        <address      is="postalAddress"  ></address>        <city     is="l" ></city>        <branchcode   is=""               >MAIN</branchcode>        <userid       is="sAMAccountName" >Administrator</userid>        <password     is="userPassword"   ></
12:32 When I try to log in OPAC module, only the user administrator can login, other users can not authenticate in opac module. How things should look to enable authentication and other users.
12:34 * magnuse hopes someone who knows something about LDAP can help answer that...
12:36 mihafan anyone know other forums besides koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Koha, koha.nabble.com??

12:39 mihafan no?
12:45 sekjal mihafan:  do you have bind_by_auth set?
12:45 as I recall, it's a required config for Active Directory
12:45 mihafan yes
12:46 sekjal hmmm
12:47 mihafan user can authenticate in koha via ldap module
12:47 active directory is a ldap server where exists a user accounts
12:49 and user must be authentificate in koha with account and password that exists in Active Directory
12:57 does know how to make authenticate for other user, without Administrator
12:57 ????
13:00 sekjal perhaps take "Administrator" out of the <user> tag in the mapping
13:02 NateC joined #koha
13:03 mihafan but what about the rest of the users in active directory are they just control the Administrator, would still have to log in Koha OPAC
13:04 tcohen hi #koha
13:04 i recently posted on koha-devel about adding authority edition logging
13:05 i didn't have any feedback

13:48 * magnuse too
13:52 kmkale joined #koha
14:08 hdl @later tell thd The invariant number of results is fixed. It was owed to a bad Regexp::Grammars version (it was a bit old on the machine you tested). I have added a z3950 configuration file. Should be better now. We are still struggling with the bad MARC....
14:08 huginn hdl: The operation succeeded.
14:23 kmkale i did a "git rm on installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl" by mistake. How do I get that file from the origin repository?
14:24 jcamins How do I force git to either ignore file permissions or reset them?
14:25 kmkale: I think you can do a git revert, can't you?
14:26 kmkale jcamins: will that revert in anyway hurt my work in progress?
14:26 * kmkale is afraid of git :(
14:27 jcamins kmkale: I'm not sure.
14:28 Probably better not to risk it. If you say gmcharlt's name three times in a row, though, sometimes he appears and solves everyone's git problems. :)
14:28 kmkale :)
14:31 kf kmkale: could a git add work?
14:31 sekjal_away git checkout installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl

14:39 sorry jcamins that should be "error: pathspec 'installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl' did not match any file(s) known to git."

15:15 jcamins wizzyrea: oh, I got it straightened out.
15:16 I do have something "oh no"-worthy to report, though.
15:16 wizzyrea !!
15:16 jcamins My chair just broke.
15:16 wizzyrea ....
15:16 did you fall down?
15:17 jcamins Not all the way.
15:17 But I leaned back, and when my back hit the back of the chair, both backs kept going.
15:17 ;)
15:17 wizzyrea .......
15:17 !
15:17 that's alarming for a monday
15:18 jcamins I knew it was coming. I noticed last week that there was something off about my chair.
15:19 wizzyrea can anyone explain to me the rationale behind the z39.50 button on the bib detail page?
15:19 what is a use case for that?
15:19 jcamins z39.50 button on the bib detail page?
15:19 * jcamins goes to look for it.
15:20 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/MSFSaWhqkcCf
15:20 jcamins I don't think I ever noticed that before.
15:20 Overlaying?
15:20 * wizzyrea is glad she has no incriminating tabs open
15:20 wizzyrea that's what I'm wondering
15:21 if you click it, it populates the search with the current title/isbn
15:21 i just wondered what people actually use that for
15:22 * jcamins doesn't use it at all.
15:22 * wizzyrea has had it hidden from our librarians for a long time
15:22 jcamins Anyone have any idea where "summary" comes from on the OPAC results template?
15:26 It's not set.
15:27 So why is it populated?
15:28 Okay, I think it comes from search.pm.

16:42 cait git am --abort
16:42 not sure
16:42 but I did it before
16:43 ah, jcmains said the same
16:43 jcamins I've never done it, I just think that's how I would.

16:43 :)
16:45 hdl nengard: if you want to be able to edit the code to make it pass... git am -3

17:55 mib_d05vwu this generates 4 number
17:55 i need 6
17:55 :(
17:57 jcamins chris_n might know the answer.
17:58 I don't think he's around at the moment.
17:58 mib_d05vwu ok
17:58 thanks
17:58 i wait

18:02 cait mib_d05vwu: there is no way in configuration at the moment to change the length of the autobarcode feature
18:03 hm, I wonder what would happen when you add a longer barcode - if it would count from that perhaps
18:05 mib_d05vwu mm...whare?
18:05 where?
18:05 i think the same..
18:06 but where?
18:06 cait, where i add a longer barcode
18:09 cait I would try and just add a new item with a longer barcode
18:09 but not sure what will happen - probably won't work
18:09 mib_d05vwu ok
18:11 hdl gmcharlt: around ?
18:16 mib_d05vwu yes its work
18:16 :)
18:16 add a loger barcode...
18:16 and now this incremental from this
18:17 cait other question...
18:17 nengard screencast time - will log back in when done :)
18:17 nengard left #koha
18:18 cait ah cool :)
18:18 mib_d05vwu yes
18:18 other question...why dont show me a renewal date?
18:19 indradg joined #koha
18:19 mib_d05vwu appears in blank
18:20 jcamins mib_d05vwu: you probably shouldn't be editing items that are already checked out.
18:21 mib_d05vwu mmm.. i dont und....
18:21 jcamins mib_d05vwu: what are you trying to do?
18:21 mib_d05vwu ok
18:22 cait you want to renew an item that is checked out?
18:22 mib_d05vwu i lend a book
18:22 this show me a return date
18:23 but....if i do a renewal  of this book
18:23 the same book...
18:23 dont show me retun date
18:23 cait you renewed successfully but the date didn't change?
18:23 mib_d05vwu appears in blank
18:24 cait that's ok
18:24 the due date field is only there to set a different date than the one calculated from your loan rules
18:24 mib_d05vwu yes, appears in blanck
18:24 :(
18:24 jcamins mib_d05vwu: yes, it's supposed to be blank.
18:24 mib_d05vwu if not then return the book
18:25 cait normally a book will be renewed for the time you set as loan period in your circ matrix under administration
18:25 if you want to renew it to a specific date you can enter one in the field
18:25 mib_d05vwu yes i know that...
18:25 but dont show me nothind
18:26 cait there are different options for the calculation of a renewal - you can add it to the date due or it can be calculated from the current date
18:26 jcamins mib_d05vwu: maybe you could take a screenshot and show us what you're talking about?
18:26 cait if you renew and the date does not change, and the book was checked out today, it's probably calculated form today
18:27 mib_d05vwu the problem is that dont show me return date, when i renewal
18:28 ok
18:28 screenshot
18:29 how add a screenshot?

19:56 wizzyrea hi :)
19:59 What is funny about this table?
19:59 http://screencast.com/t/vfQLWYzQW
20:00 cait hm have seen that before
20:00 is it anew install?
20:00 wizzyrea yea
20:00 err
20:00 define "new"
20:01 cait I think my problem was related to miss one of the optional things during install
20:01 wizzyrea did I install it today? no. Is it running (nearly) the newest codebase? yes.
20:01 hmm
20:01 cait one of the messaging somethings you can choose
20:01 wizzyrea it's like this in at least two installs
20:01 * wizzyrea goes to check the demos
20:02 cait ok, no idea then
20:02 bencahill so guys, everything is in the db, right? (e.g. if I want to start from scratch, backup, or restore from a backup, that's just the db?)
20:02 wizzyrea hm it's right in the bywater demo
20:02 rangi bencahill: yes
20:03 liw bencahill, there's configuration files too
20:03 wizzyrea it's about 9db revisions back from where I'm at
20:03 bencahill ah right, but that's just the koha-conf.xml? (and koha-httpd.conf, depending on your setup)
20:03 liw: ^^
20:04 rangi the zebra config files too
20:04 bencahill rangi: good, just checking :)
20:04 rangi: right
20:04 cait bencahill: if you don't change the indexing, have a sip server or ldap :)

20:09 magnuse cool, i guess...
20:09 wizzyrea that just means it's something I've got going in ours
20:10 bc I have it in two installs
20:10 the problem
20:10 wahanui the problem is, like, that on order is not treated differently than the other not for loan values
20:10 wizzyrea forget the problem

20:36 wizzyrea Oo! Hi there!
20:36 welcome :)

20:37 JesseM thank you wizzyrea

20:38 JesseM great to be a part of the Koha community. cant wait to work with you all.
20:38 hello rangi
20:38 * jcamins waves to his new coworker.
20:38 jcamins Has anyone else experienced an item with a NULL homebranch breaking the fines cron job?
20:40 nengard Hi JesseM
20:41 rangi nope, but i can imagine it would, having a null homebranch seems like a pretty bad situation for an item to be in, id hope it would break stuff or at least yell loudly so it can be put in a branch, rather than silently failing
20:41 JesseM Hi nengard
20:42 jcamins rangi: it breaks stuff, silently.
20:42 space_librarian like an evil ninja?
20:42 rangi cron doesnt even complain?
20:42 jcamins rangi: sometimes.
20:43 rangi well that should be fixed to complain all the time loudly then :)
20:44 jcamins It seems to me that the fines cron job is the wrong place to complain, though.
20:44 It should be complaining at the point when the record enters into the system.
20:44 rangi there too
20:44 but ppl can poke at the db, it should complain anywhere that it might be a problem
20:45 jcamins I mean, sure, an error message there too, but a vendor should not be able to send invalid records.
20:45 rangi exception handling ftw
20:45 yep, bulkmarcimport.pl will complain
20:45 wizzyrea the bib merging function: does or does not (or is or is not supposed to) merge holds?
20:45 * magnuse greets JesseM (better late than never...)
20:45 rangi wizzyrea: you'll need to ask biblibre
20:46 wizzyrea okies
20:46 jcamins wizzyrea: I think there's a bug report about that.
20:46 * space_librarian joins magnuse in late greetings
20:46 JesseM thank you magnuse!
20:46 wizzyrea you are right: bug 5459
20:46 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5459 critical, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, merging records loses holds from one
20:53 sekjal the biggest technical problem with that is how to order the holds queue once the two records are merged
20:59 wizzyrea right, i imagine that's tough
21:00 what might help would be an option to "export hold queue" from a bib
21:00 so at least you have a list of the holds
21:00 I suppose you could just print the dang thing :P
21:01 sekjal ordering by date placed would make the most sense most of the time, but there'd need to be a warning
21:01 in case of any manual reordering having taken place
21:01 wizzyrea add a note: automerge?
21:01 or merged from position x on bib XXXXX
21:01 sekjal could do
21:01 so long as it added to any existing note, rather than replaced
21:02 wizzyrea right
21:02 sekjal I've got some code that'll fix priority orders.... so doing it this way won't take too much more
21:04 wizzyrea I can't think of any reason why adding a note with the old priority wouldn't be sufficient. If you have a bib with a ton of manual edits, it's probably better to not automerge them anyway
21:05 sekjal perhaps a 'select all holds from both bibs', 'order by date created', 'loop through and add to kept biblio' approach
21:06 wizzyrea a tickbox "merge holds? (Warning: holds will be ordered based upon date placed. Old priority number will be in the notes"
21:08 sekjal even techier:  zipper merge.  alternate between holds on each biblio, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,5,6
21:08 add a checkbox for the merger to pick their strategy
21:08 then we can implement more down the road, if need be
21:09 wizzyrea well that's better than no merge at all
21:09 * jcamins imagines all sorts of interesting possibilities for complex merges.
21:09 sekjal looking forward to diving into this, but unfortunately, I must depart, and pack for my trip to Maine
21:09 have a great night, #koha!
21:10 sekjal left #koha
21:10 wizzyrea by... oh bother.
21:12 a stopgap for that though, since we should *never* lose data
21:12 would be to spit out the un-merged holds as an error.
21:12 "This item had holds on it, here's what we know about them so you can merge: "
21:14 * magnuse wishes #koha a good night (or other time of the day - you choose!)
21:15 magnuse left #koha
21:30 wizzyrea so philosophically speaking
21:30 should we assume that if you are deleting a bib record
21:31 that you don't care about any holds attached to that bib?
21:31 also, if you are deleting the last item, should you be alerted that there are still holds on the item?
21:32 rangi no and yes
21:32 assumption is the mother of all f**k ups
21:32 wizzyrea ok cool that's the direction I was leaning
21:32 because right, now, we do both
21:32 rangi yes
21:33 wizzyrea we assume that you don't care, and we don't alert
21:33 rangi yep, its a definite bug that should be fixed
21:33 * wizzyrea goes to file it
21:33 rangi we check for issues, but not holds
21:33 wizzyrea: add subscriptions to the list
21:33 we need to check those too
21:33 wizzyrea k
21:34 rangi deleting a biblio tht has a journal subscription attached can make a big pile of mess

21:35 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=1959 normal, P3, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED, No warning when you delete a biblio with a subscription
21:35 jcamins The exterminator went to Manhattan instead of coming here.
21:35 Meaning that we emptied our kitchen for naught.
21:35 wizzyrea so that's there.
21:38 nengard so basically we should never ever delete bib records
21:39 rangi not until those bugs are fixed, no
21:41 wizzyrea or you have to be super-vigilant
21:41 about checking before you delete
21:41 :/
21:45 nengard hmmm

22:24 wizzyrea sorry bw peeps for all the mail :P

22:30 nengard left #koha
22:31 rangi were you gonna link the 2 bugs?
22:31 francharb left #koha
22:34 wizzyrea yep
22:34 did I do it wrong?
22:34 rangi i use the depends or blocks links
22:34 wizzyrea ohh... I added the "see also" url
22:34 rangi i made 5790 depend on 1959
22:35 wizzyrea ok I see what you mean no
22:35 now*
22:39 can't say I've ever had to do that one before... I'll know better next time
22:40 rangi cool :)
22:40 eythian I really want to find whoever implemented liberty/concordance's CSV export and give them a good ... talking to.
22:40 they output unparsable data :(
22:41 wizzyrea it seems like you may want to give them more than that
22:43 identify @wunder 56001
22:43 huginn identify: The current temperature in MSU Physics Dept, Mankato, Minnesota is -6.2�C (4:49 PM CST on February 21, 2011). Conditions: Overcast. Humidity: 98%. Dew Point: -6.0�C.

22:43 wizzyrea brr
22:47 bencahill would squid speed up koha (on a slow-ish server)?
22:48 rangi not really no
22:48 eythian I wouldn't expect it to a whole lot
22:48 bencahill ...(bottleneck is cpu)
22:48 rangi because you cant actually cache the results
22:48 not unless you want to lie to patrons ;)
22:48 bencahill rangi: anything I can do to make it go faster?
22:48 rangi: lol :)
22:48 eythian more CPU :)
22:49 rangi bencahill: put the expires headers out on the .css .js and image files
22:49 bencahill eythian: doesn't seem like it should be that slow on a p4 1.6 tho, right? :P
22:49 rangi: not slow like that, I'm on a lan :D
22:49 eythian hmm, probably shouldn't be. Is it really CPU, or is it database?
22:49 rangi its more likely ram thats the bottleneck that cpu
22:49 eythian (or RAM, yeah)
22:49 bencahill eythian: dunno, top shows the .pl scripts taking up 90-100% cpu during a pageload
22:49 rangi, eythian: not using any swap...
22:50 rangi yeah, that doesnt really matter (the swap)
22:50 its how much RAM mysql can use
22:50 it wont use more than you allocate it
22:50 eythian but if it's the .pl using the CPU, rather than mysql...
22:50 bencahill rangi: well the ram is not anywhere near filled up (like 200MB out of 600MB), that's what I'm saying
22:50 rangi: o_o d'oh :)
22:50 eythian: yeah, the .pl's
22:51 rangi and yeah 600MB is a tiny amount of RAM :)
22:51 top is not a good indicator
22:51 bencahill rangi: depends on your usage scenario :)
22:51 rangi: why is that?
22:52 doesn't show disk usage?
22:52 rangi because it will sit at 90% when its mostly asking mysql to do stuff
22:52 eythian rangi: it shouldn't...
22:52 rangi it does
22:52 eythian unless the driver is spinlocking or something terrible
22:52 bencahill rangi: what do you use that's better?
22:52 rangi use the profiler
22:52 bencahill the profiler?
22:53 rangi and yeah 600MB is too little to run apache, mysql, zebra
22:53 bencahill not running zebra...
22:53 rangi well theres half your problem right there then too :)
22:53 nozebra is much slower
22:53 bencahill rangi: zebra doesn't affect browsing the admin interface, does it?
22:54 I thought it was just searching...
22:54 rangi yes
22:54 and yeah if browsing the interface isnt coming up within seconds, theres something up, and chances are its mysql, because browsing the interface isnt doing anything else
22:55 * bencahill times
22:55 rangi a bunch of selects, and outputting a template
22:55 bencahill 5 seconds for going from home to circulation after login
22:56 rangi: right, shouldn't take that long :P
22:56 rangi try tuning your mysql
22:57 bencahill will do, thanks
22:57 rangi and fyi http://search.cpan.org/dist/Devel-NYTProf/
22:58 also, what XML parser are you using?
