Re: [Koha] Service unavailable

[Beda Szukics]

Plack was enabled but not started. koha-restore restarts the apache 
webserver but not plack.

koha-plack --start mg
solved the problem

Hello

I'm running 4 instances of Koha on 1 server. 3 work fine, the 4th gives me:

Service Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to 
maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.4.38 (Debian) Server at bibliotheksverwaltung.abtei-muri.ch 
Port 443


/var/log/koha/mg/intranet-error.log tells me:

Where is the problem?

I migrated this instance from a second server using koha-restore

Re: [Koha] 22.11.xx vs 23.05.xx opinions

[Aleisha Amohia]

Hi Alexander

When you upgrade to any Koha version, you will receive all the features 
from previous versions too! The version build on top of each other. So 
by upgrading to the latest stable version which is 23.05.x, you'll get 
everything in 23.05.x, and everything in 22.11.x, and everything in 
22.05.x, and so on.


Hope that makes sense.

tracking `stable main`.

Am I missing something here?

Currently it's a dev box only, but once this goes into production I'd like to 
make sure that not some update intended to add bug fixes changes the UI e.g.

Re: [Koha] Deleting biblios and items

[Aida Djikic]

Hello Anke,

thank you for the directions; I have followed them and have managed to
remove all records. When I run an authority search, I get a list of all of
them, though they are now lacking a heading type (it is now marked as
"Default"). Is it possible to bulk remove all of them from search results
as well or will I need to delete them one by one?

The ones that were not attached to records have a Delete option, but the
few that were have only an Edit option which leads to a "The authority
record you requested does not exist" note.

(Must also remember to uncheck AutoCreateAuthorities as that caused me to
have multiple copies of authorities (e.g. thesis advisors, as well as
subjects and index terms). Lesson learned the hard way!)

May I ask: it seems that I see some of these in my Koha already (e.g. CMS 
pages, the green Staff UI, basically all the stuff I compared) even though my 
Koha strongly believes to be 23.05.04. I installed right from the deb packages 
tracking `stable main`.

Am I missing something here?

Currently it's a dev box only, but once this goes into production I'd like to 
make sure that not some update intended to add bug fixes changes the UI e.g.

Hello,

Catalyst have written blog posts about these releases, which highlight some of 
the key things in each release, which may be helpful:

22.11: https://www.catalyst.net.nz/blog/release-of-koha-2211
23.05: https://www.catalyst.net.nz/blog/koha-release-2305

The highlights we were most excited about in 22.11 include the drastic 
appearance changes to the staff interface, the generic OAuth2/OIDC single sign 
on implementation, the electronic resource management module, the CMS pages 
tool, the possibility to change the ownership of a public/shared list, and more.

The highlights we were most excited about in 23.05 include the ability to 
receive multiple order lines at once, the CART and LIST emails being added to 
the Notices tool, a 'report a concern' feature on the OPAC, auto-completion in 
the SQL reports editor, and some other useful cataloguing enhancements.

Hope that helps!
Aleisha
