Hi everyone, I'm an English teacher at a high school in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China. I'm not a librarian, and have never used catalog software before. I'm helping some other English teachers here put together an English library for the students, and I have been recommended Koha by a number of librarians.
I am not very technically proficient. I have never used Linux, so have opted for a Windows install. I used Raja Biswas' Youtube video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou7WgoeSmOc>as a guide. The installers I used are: - ActivePerl 5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739 - Apache 2.0.59-win32-x86-nossl - MySQL-4.0.26-win32 - Koha2.2.8-W32-R0 I found that using these installers that Koha would actually install (previous attempts with the latest versions of Perl, SQL etc failed). So, it installed fine, but when I type in "intranet" or "opac" it gives me the dreaded 500 server error: "Premature end of script headers: mainpage.pl ". I know from my reading of this listserve, and from other websites, that this is the most common error. I cannot find a consensus answer - or even an answer that makes sense to me! Rob Weir's handy troubleshooting guide<http://www.koha.rwjr.com/Koha_on_Windows.html#d0e755>suggests that I post the error log "opac-error_log" or "intranet-error_log" into a forum for assistance. A search of my computer reveals neither of these files. I have to assume that something isn't running. I do have an error log for Apache, but it seems to be ok. When I type in localhost, I get the message "it works!", so I'd think Apache should be fine. I read that error 500 is sometimes caused by a lack of permissions in ActivePerl, but I have yet to find a way to fix this that makes even the remotest sense to me. I've had a look at the "WinMySQL" program that is located in the Koha folder of the start menu. When I right-click and select "start service", the traffic light goes green for about a second and then goes red again. I hope that's useful! Sorry to be a pain with the same old error that everyone strikes. But if anyone could help me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, Stew Wilson _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org [email protected] http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
