Sorry to be slow in replying. I'm a volunteer and only in the school one or two days a week.
Are you sure it wasn't trying to upgrade your DB, when you logged into the web installer, what did it say next? At 10.20.4.48:8080, it says: Koha Web installer › Step 1 You are about to install Koha. Please pick your language from the following list. If your language is not listed, please inform your systems administrator. Click 'Next' to continue But I have already installed Koha once, so I didn't continue And what message are you getting at the OPAC, the library is in maintenance mode? No, I'm getting a blank Apache page: Index of / [image: [ICO]]Name <http://10.20.4.48/?C=N;O=D>Last modified <http://10.20.4.48/?C=M;O=A>Size <http://10.20.4.48/?C=S;O=A>Description <http://10.20.4.48/?C=D;O=A> ------------------------------ ------------------------------ Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at 10.20.4.48 Port 80 Also, if you do mysql -uroot -p koha_paclibrary You will be in mysql what does show tables; show you? Nothing (just a prompt) Try select * from items limit 10; Do you get results? No, just Empty set (0.00 sec); ... Now if I do follow the Koha Web Installer path: It says: Web Installer Step 2 Database settings database type: mysql database name: koha_paclibrary database host: localhost database port: 3306 (probably OK if blank) database user: koha_paclibrary Connection established Database koha_paclibrary exists. User koha_paclibrary has ll required privileges on database koha_paclibrary Then (Step 3) it says we are ready to create the database tables and fill them with some default data. Then (still Step 3): Success Database tables created. (however if I go to mysql in terminal and type "show tables" I still get nothing) Then (still Step 3) I am being asked to select my MARC flavor. I choose Marc21 Then I Select Default settings and click "Import" (it takes a while) Then I given a list of mandatory data added and mysql data added and I am told All done! Click Finish. At this point I can log in as the database administrator, but there are no libraries, no patron categories, nothing. Also I still have a blank page from the OPAC view. I am clearly missing something in my process. Thanks for your suggestions. I took time off my day job, so I'll be in today, tomorrow, and Saturday trying to solve this. Thanks for any help you can provide. ________________________________________________ Gwyan Rhabyt Director, Multimedia Graduate Program Professor, Art Department California State University East Bay and President of the Board of Trustees, Pacific Elementary School District On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 5:29 PM, Chris Cormack <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 23 January 2015 at 08:02, Gwyan Rhabyt <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Our small school district library server needed updating (it was running >> Ubuntu 11.10 which was having problems and was no longer supported).
