[Koha] 3.4.x Branch and 3.4.8 Release Update

2012-01-21 Thread Chris Nighswonger
Hi All,

I've just had time to bring the 3.4.x branch current with master. We will
be releasing 3.4.8 next Saturday.

There are a huge number of commits made in the last 8 hours, so I'd like to
call for some testing on 3.4.x before the release next Saturday just to
avoid any obvious bugs.
So if you have a chance to, please test and let me know if you discover
anything.

Kind Regards,
Chris

Having experienced a few glitches ourselves, here are some extracts from 
our cheat sheet (nelson is the name of our Debian/Ubuntu server with 
Koha 3.6.1 installed and happily working):


*** do mysql dump FIRST ***


Only six records in the system, so I skipped this.


*** do not go near link_bibs_to_authorities.pl ***


Don't even know where that is.



Now su to the proper user:

paul@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ su koha


Tried by as myself as su and as koha.


koha@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml 
PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -a -r -v


koha@nelson:/usr/share/koha$ KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml 
PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b 
-r -v -x


This appears to do *something*. It runs a number of lines of code, ending with 
CLEANING.


Still no books revealed in the OPAC.

Hi Bruce,

The correct paths for your installation would have been given in the 
notes produced at the end of running Makefile.PL (not sure where this 
would show up if you used the deb packages). These paths will *have* 
to be correct in order for Koha related cli scripts to run properly. 
Perhaps someone more familiar with the deb packages could help if that 
is, indeed, what you used.


If the paths you selected are correct, then I'm out of ideas for the 
moment.


Kind Regards,
Chris

Have a read at these FAQ's:

Pay careful attention to the solution for question #4. It appears

you've not exported the proper env vars.


It sounds like you're recommending:

1. Check that you are exporting the two environmental variables 
necessary to run Koha scripts from the command line. These are
(modify 
to fit paths on your system):
PERL5LIB=/path/to/koha 
KOHA_CONF=/path/to/koha-conf.xml



Which sounds not unreasonable. I set:

KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml

Which seems reasonable. I then set:

PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib

I chose this because the failure message for rebuild_zebra.pl 
http://rebuild_zebra.pl claims it can't locate C4/Context.pm in 
@INC, which includes /etc/perl, and where that file can be found.


It would appear that these choices were incorrect, or that I've made 
some other important error, as these two changes make no change in the 
failure message when I run rebuild_zebra.pl http://rebuild_zebra.pl.


I *did* warn y'all I was a newbie
