Re: [Koha] Can't add items on Koha 3.18.03 built from .tar

2015-02-16 Thread Tim Young

Hi,
The difference between installing from packages and from tar is 
basically that the process of installing from package checks for 
dependencies, it puts things in specific directories, and runs any 
after-the-fact scripts to make changes to things.  But packages only 
work on systems that are the cookie-cutter systems.


When you install via tarball, you personally are responsible for 
everything.  If you make a typo, or if the system you are installing 
onto is not capable of running it, you are the one who needs to 
figure it out.  It is possible to unpack the tarball onto something 
that has all the wrong versions of perl, that does not have zebra 
installed, or something like that.


At the same time, you may get a newer version of the software if you 
are installing from git or the tarball.  Packages are not always kept 
up-to-date.

It works on Debian based systems installed as a package.

I can't use Debian because it fails the vulnerability checks and 
the Ubuntu based systems kept locking up hard.


I really would like to know the difference between the 
Debian/Ubuntu packages and building it from a .tar file.

A small clarification: yes they are! Within a couple of days, anyway.

Koha's Perl scripts and libraries are exactly the same. The only difference
could be environmental: Perl version, dependencies versions.

Have you ran ./koha_perl_deps.pl -m -y -c ?
What distro/release are yo using?
