A tad of clarification. I had written:
However, I have (after asking our staff to try it out), got a very weird
dilemma: from the new test machine, all NEW records (biblios and items,
both Z39.50 imports and manual entries) are saving to our *PRODUCTION*
server (3.6.1) -- all EDITS of existing biblios/items are saving correctly
to the *TEST* server (3.8.4).
Both servers are on the same LAN, but under different computer names
'server' and 'nelson', different IPs 192.168.0.91 and .95, different db
names 'koha' and 'koha384', different URLs 'http://koha' and
'http://koha-admin' compared to 'http://koha3' and 'http://koha-admin3',
hosts files all updated, router updated (static, no DHCP).
From the install log of the production machine (passwords snipped):
# This file contains settings used
# during the installation of Koha.
# It is meant for use during future
# upgrades of Koha, and should not
# be edited.
KOHA_INSTALLED_VERSION=3.06.01.000
LOG_DIR=/var/log/koha
DB_TYPE=mysql
DB_NAME=koha306
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=koha
WEBMASTER_EMAIL=webmaster@nelson
WEBSERVER_DOMAIN=nelson
WEBSERVER_HOST=nelson
The same from the test machine:
# This file contains settings used
# during the installation of Koha.
# It is meant for use during future
# upgrades of Koha, and should not
# be edited.
KOHA_INSTALLED_VERSION=3.08.04.000
LOG_DIR=/var/log/koha
DB_TYPE=mysql
DB_NAME=koha384
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=koha
WEBMASTER_EMAIL=webmaster@server
WEBSERVER_DOMAIN=server
WEBSERVER_HOST=server
Similarities are that I restored a mysql dump from production to test and
therefore users/staff logins/passwords are the same. The test machine is
saving something: we experimented with entering a new book by an existing
author; on the "1 tab" when cataloging and checking the "authority" (little
red box at the end of the 100$a line) it correctly incremented the number
of times "Used" from 4 to 5 - 6 - 7 each time we saved that book - but a
subsequent "authority" search only found the 4 again. However, now
(accidentally) checking the production machine, an "authority" search finds
all 7 !!! with the associated biblios and items.
Anyone got any thoughts? Is there something is the mysql "restore" that
points to the wrong db? [I used 'mysql --user=<me> --password=my_pw koha384
< /usr/share/koha/koha361dump_1jan12.sql]
I have fairly detailed installation notes if anyone would like them... but
as I'll probably do another complete reinstall (before upgrading the
production machine mid-September), I will verify and refine them -- then
try and assist with the "documentation project."
Thanks - Paul
