The right user and pass combination is in the <config> section with the
db_scheme and database name. I think you might be looking in the wrong spot.

If you haven't run the web installer yet, there will be no tables in
your database and creating a user won't work.

P.S. A *find / -name koha-conf.xml* only turns up */root/koha-conf.xml* (a

*<password>* tags, alongside similar tags for an "*authorityserver*" ID and
a commented out *PUBLICSERVER* entry. I tried the default value, my own
specified values, and the password provided by *koha-passwd catalog*
(should I drop a trailing "@"?).

There seems to be some disconnect in my installation as I essentially
tried this, that, and the other and have never managed to log in.`

Maybe I should go back to trying to find data (from MariaDB data?) to
create a (possibly additional) superlibrarian?


Thanks for any help,

P.S.

I tried those things and failed to ever log in before asking the list. I
genuinely do not understand how to get an
/etc/koha/sites/catalog/koha-conf.xml and/or
/etc/koha/sites/catalog/zebra.passwd and log in after either obtaining or
setting a username and password.

Can you help me pass this hurdle?


Thanks,

I already tried manually setting username and password in
/etc/koha/sites/catalog/koha-conf.xml, and have not yet been able to log in
either with credentials in the koha-conf.xml or zebra.passwd.

Is it wrong to manually change the credentials? Are there ways I might
not be able to log in when I used credentials from those files? At present
they all specify a user of kohauser and a password I set manually.


Many Thanks,

Forget about that script, you should not need it.

Either you went through the web installer process and you created a
library, patron's category and user, or you are seeing the login form
to start the installation, and so you will find the credential in your
$KOHA_CONF file, which should point to
/etc/koha/sites/<KOHA_INSTANCE>/koha-conf.xml

The following 2 commands will return user and password:
sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/yazgfs/config/user' $KOHA_CONF
sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v '/yazgfs/config/pass' $KOHA_CONF

Where are values for branches.branchcode or categories.categorycode
available? An ack(-grep) in /etc/koha for branches, branchcode, and
categorycode did not turn up information scent.

Hello Christos,

After you installed Koha via the debian packages you should see the
webinstaller. At the end of the install process there is a tool that
will guide you through different steps to create a library, a patron's
category, and a superlibrarian user.
If you have not done the installation it does not make sense to
create an user.
branchcode is one value from branches.branchcode, categorycode from
categories.categorycode

Regards,
Jonathan

For a new installation, does the following make sense?

create_superlibrarian.pl --userid ________ --password ________
--branchcode
main --categorycode main --cardnumber 1

If some or all of the --branchcode, --categorycode, or --cardnumber
values
are not what a beginner wants, what should I be supplying?

(Or how can I found out what I should be supplying?)
