Did you try rerunning updatedatabase?

Many thanks for the reply. Yes, but I ran paul@server2:/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/installer/data/mysql$ perl -I updatedatabase.pl overnight - it only took a few minutes when initiated by Koha after the install. If I've made an error, could you please assist with the syntax?

Also, Chris N. suggested "Also double check to be sure that OpacMaintenance did not get set somehow" -- it was set (not sure how - I didn't even realize that this preference existed) and now the OPAC is up and running. Thanks Chris.

The instructions all assume a user crontab. If you are using /etc/cron.d/koha, you should not be using the user crontab (as all the instructions assume), or you could do things vice versa.

Hidden in a corner under the name 'root' I finally found it, and the cron is now working perfectly (except 'mail', see below). For the archives:

$ cd /var/spool/cron
$ sudo chmod 755 crontabs
$ sudo vi root
        [change 5 mins to 1 min]
:x
$ cd ..
$ sudo chmod 1770 crontabs

So, remove nullmailer. nullmailer needs to be configured appropriately if you are using it.

Done, and get (once a minute) syslog entries:
Jul 29 13:38:01 server2 CRON[1854]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)

which was why I was asking if there was an easy way of "turning it off" in Koha (I've looked unsuccessfully for a global O/S method to turn off "warnings) - I don't need an email every minute, 24/7 :-} -- and I'd like to reinstall nullmailer to verify all the "wanted" patron emails (no intention of installing sendmail on this sandbox; on the production server I've got sendmail to selectively dev/null unwanted messages.)

Many thanks all around. I'll continue comparing this to our production box, and get some of our cataloguers to have a look over the next few days. As and when we come up with more bits and pieces, I'll have a look at helping with the Wiki page -- Tomas, I see that you have done all the editing, but have a blank "talk" page. Would you prefer to email (either on- or off-list) or use the "talk page"?

Regards -- Paul
