It's worth noting that there is absolutely, completely no relationship
between UNIX system users and Koha or MySQL users. Never the twain shall
meet.
When you log in with your database username and database password (i.e.,
the same thing you would use if you typed
"mysql -u username -ppassword koha") then you are user 0. However, as
user 0 doesn't have an entry in the borrowers database, anything that
tries to look you up, or otherwise reference your record will get
terribly confused.
For our client Koha systems, I only ever user that user for doing quick
and dirty things, changing some admin settings, looking at the state of
something, creating initial borrowers. Anything more complex than that
is likely to have conniptions.
Many thanks Robin -- that was what I had assumed, but confirmation is
always good to have. In fact, I have only ever used it to create the very
first "superlibrarian" [1] on a new install.
May I make a suggestion regarding the sign-off to this bug? (It seemed a
bit complex vis-a-vis translations, so I don't want to upset any apple
carts.) It might be a good idea to add a para to the INSTALL files
(general, Debian, Ubuntu, whatever) to alert people before they get the
opportunity to click on "About Koha." I've had a quick look at various 3.8
and 3.10 .tar files and don't find anything.
[1] Re: 'borrower' permissions. What's the difference between flag "1"
(plain superlibrarian) and flag '261887' (super librarian with all boxes
checked)? Is it necessary to check the boxes?
Again tnx and br,
Paul
