Russel Shihepo Notitia Systems cc Namibia - Africa ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Unsubscribe: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha Hi Russel I originally tried doing an install on Centos when I did my first install around a year ago. The reason was that it was for a proof of concept and I wanted to reuse an existing server that had spare processing capaicity. I am sure that with enough persistence it would have worked out, but it was just too much of an uphill journey compared to the ease of the installation process on Ubuntu where there are packages already available and tested. So I took the route of setting up a separate server where I could install Ubuntu. My assumption is that the majority of installations are done on Ubuntu and it is tried and tested combination. I also assume that most installations are dedicated servers that run only koha so that choice of operating system is not a show stopper. best regards John ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Unsubscribe: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] Installation issues
Thanks Zeno I filed a bug for this. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29538 I was unable to see how to solve it. But I did see that there is no marcflavour subdirectory any under Koha/installer/data/mysql/localization/it-IT/ in 21.05 which is slightly reorganized from 20.11 which did have the marcflavour subdirectory Koha/installer/data/mysql/it-IT/marcflavour/ Seems to be the same for all all languages in localization subdirectory whereas languages that are in Koha/installer/data/mysql/ do have the marcflavouor subdirectory. Also was wondering why some languages are directly under mysql and others are under localization. John On 14/11/2021 21:15, Zeno Tajoli wrote: Hi John, point 1 and 2 are not very important.

[Koha] Installation issues
Hi it's a while since I did an installation, but I did a fresh install of 21.05 on Ubuntu 21.10 with it-IT language. I found the following issues. 1. During the install of koha-common I got this message "Failed to enable unit: Unit /run/systemd/generator.late/koha-common.service is transient or generated." 2. During the install of the it-IT translation I got this message despite memcached service is started Connection to the memcached servers '__MEMCACHED_SERVERS__' failed. Are the unix socket permissions set properly? Is the host reachable? If you ignore this warning, you will face performance issues 3. During the web installer process, marc flavour gives only MARC21 whereas on the previous install I did I was able to choose UNIMARC. For 1 and 2 should I open issues on the tracker? For 3 what needs to be done to get UNIMARC support back into the it-IT translation, unless it's been dropped for a reason?

Re: [Koha] Patrons report errors
Solomon for Koha the categories in the borrowers table need to be defined in the categories table. In particular the report wants to read the description of the category from the categories table to use it as a column heading. Koha enforces this for records added or deleted through the GUI. As a work around you can add the missing categories (if they are correct) via the administration menu. As a long term solution, it depends on whether you want to be able to define new categories in the ERP or not. If not, then the solution can be to implement an integration from Koha to ERP to export the allowed categories and validate new borrower data to ensure they have a valid category. Potentially you oculd add a check to the ERP-Koha borrower integration to ensure that borrowers without valid categories are rejected. If instead you want to be able to define new categories in the ERP system, the solution could be to capture the relevant data (including description) of the category in the ERP and pass it via a new integration to Koha prior to importing the borrowers.

Re: [Koha] Making a field into a drop down menu
thinking about this further the best solution might be to eliminate field 995 r from the items menu altogether. It is probably redundant in that 942 in the UNIMARC record already has this info.

[Koha] Making a field into a drop down menu
Hi first of all let me say I'm completely new to Koha and am taking a look at it potentially to use in a school library. So thanks to all the people that have contributed to making the software what it is today. It's been a bit of a learning curve. First off, I tried and abandoned the idea of installing on my existing Centos 8 server and took the easier path of using the packaged install on latest Ubuntu release on a new dedicated server, following this link: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian I did find an issue that stopped me installing mariadb due to incompatible versions, but mysql installed without problems. Needing to use Italian, I did run into some issues in the provided sql which I had to tweak in order to get the install to correctly finish without violating not null constraints (on the 307 record in the marc_subfield_structure). So now I've got an up and running installation which I'm trying out, but one thing which I cannot work out. After adding a Unimarc record, I'm on the editor for adding items. There's a field 995 r "Type of item and material" (or in my version "Tipo della copia e materiale". This is a free input text field, not a drop down menu limited to a list of predefined values. In the Italian translation this field did not have any "authorised_value" in the table marc_subfield_structure. I've modified with the value itemtypes. However for some reason this does not seem to make the field into a drop down menu in the staff GUI. So my question to more experienced users are: after changing the "authorised_value" do I need to run a script or restart something in order to get the free text field to change into a drop down menu? Or is there a different way of doing that? thanks for any help.
