Hi Alex

In that case, your search problem is probably caused by not having
zebrasrv running, or the cronjob to rebuild the indexes not working

Check out the searching faq here

Ok i  understand, thanks.
For the installation i have follow this guide:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu

And at the voice:
"5b - Reindexing Choices"

I have done the "Option #2: Add a cronjob to index your zebra database".

Maybe the index rebuild doesn't work because i have choise this second
option instead of the first option?

You need to contact the webmaster and ask them what is in the
koha-error_log file at that time and date.

You could ask them to put their real email address instead of
webmaster@koha in the ServerAdmin line, too!

Hope that helps,

before to use reindex by cron or in backgrand,
you need to index all at the first time.ù


a)First check:
Have you done the point '3 - Setup the environment variables used by
Koha scripts' ?
And after a logout ?


b)Rebuilt you Zebra index from scratch:

$ misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v

Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records
in your system.
NOTE: This script should be run as the kohauser (the default is 'koha').

The FAQ about this topic:
http://koha-community.org/faq/zebra-indexing-wont-work-fix-it-aka-search-stuff-up-help/

After we check the background indexing.

Hi Dott. Tajoli,
thank you very much for your answer.

I have done the point 3.

Now i have rebuild index:

root@ubuntu:/# /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v
Zebra configuration information

Zebra biblio directory  = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios
Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/zebradb/authorities
Koha directory  = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin
BIBLIONUMBER in : 001$@
BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 090$a

skipping authorities

exporting biblio

1..
Records exported: 7

REINDEXING zebra

14:30:12-12/04 zebraidx(19643) [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in
(bib1,Local-number)

CLEANING

root@ubuntu:/# 


But it seems that when i search for the 7 records in the Catalogue i can't
find these records.

Thanks
Alex

Hi,

I see one problem for you:

Il 12/04/2012 13:34, Alex87 ha scritto:
> Now i have rebuild index:
> 
> root@ubuntu:/# /usr/share/koha/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r -v

do you use the 'root' user.
It is not a good idea.

You need to use a different user.

In http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Ubuntu
in section Pre-Koha Installation Setup says:

2 - Add the koha user
# sudo adduser koha

after this point you need to use the user 'koha' with sudo,
and no more the user 'root'.

I think that now you probably have problems of permissions.

If you have used 'root' everywhere, probably you can use the
installation but is difficult to help you without a ssh access
to your server.

You can:
a)Try to fix the problem (you need a good level of skills on Linux)
As help read the FAQ from here: http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/

b)Delete the installation, restart from scratch and use the user 'koha'
instead of root.
Read all the install files BEFORE to start.
If you work on Ubuntu read the files
-INSTALL.ubunt
-INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid
There in the tar.gz file
http://download.koha-community.org/koha-latest.tar.gz

c)Try a Koha VM from here:
http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha/koha-virtual-appliance/

d)Hire a support specialist fro here:

Re: [Koha] add new record in Koha

[Joe]

Here is another quick tutorial I made using a different Koha version that
had a different ordering proces.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21733088/2nd%20Acquisitions%20Demo%20-%20Different%20Ordering%20Process%202.htm(I
used the free screen capture program: "Wink" Created by DebugMode.)

If you don't have an item type set go into the Administrator menu and add
an item type.
Click on the "More" drop down menu and select Administration. Under Basic
Parameters choose Item Type. Click on New Item Type. In the "Item Type" box
enter the Name of the Item Type. Enter a Description for the item type and
click "Save Changes". Now you should be able to choose an Item Type in the
Koha Item Type selection box.

[Koha] Bulk patron anonymize/delete tool

[Tom Hanstra]

I asked this once before and got no response.  But hope springs eternal...

Has anyone successfully used the "Patrons (anonymize, bulk-delete)" tool 
available in Koha?  We have found neither to work as expected.  It acts 
as if it *thinks* it is anonymizing and/or deleting but does not 
actually do it.


Alternately, if that is known not to work, what might it take to bulk 
delete patrons at the database level?  What kind of a mess will I leave 
behind if I simply delete patrons from the borrowers table?  I assume a 
normal delete would check to make sure the patron does not have 
outstanding fines, checked out books, etc.  Just whacking the borrowers 
table won't check those things.  So what all else do I need to check 
before deletion?


Thanks,
Tom

Re: [Koha] Bulk patron anonymize/delete tool

[Joy Nelson]

Tom-
I can tell you from the database level, that patrons are linked to Circulation 
(issues, old_issues), Holds (reserves, old_reserves), Fines (accountlines) at a 
minimum.  Borrowers are also in the borrower_attributes, and borrower messaging 
preferences tables.  Those last two will cascade nicely when a borrower is 
deleted.  

I don't believe that the existence in old_reserves or old_issues will cause you 
trouble.  And it is an easy enough task to check if the borrower is in issues 
or reserves before deleting.  Fines are another issue altogether.  (queries 
with sums and all)

This doesn't really address the notion of 'should you delete patrons'.  I'll 
leave that to others.

Additionally, I'm curious as to what you are seeing when the anonymize patrons 
is used?  What are your expecting and what are you seeing?

[Koha] Introduction & Help

[Zachary Osborne]

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Zack and I'm the Librarian the Toronto Botanical Garden's
Library. I've recently installed Koha (version 3.06.02.003). I don't
consider myself to be very tech-savvy, so I'm optimistic that I will be
able to learn a lot from you, and from the Koha documentation.

 

My library currently uses InMagic DB/TextWorks as its Intergrated
Library System (ILS) for cataloguing and circulation. I am desperate to
migrate the ILS from InMagic to Koha, and am very excited to do so.

 

I've read a few threads about the InMagic to Koha conversion, and am
hopeful this will get me through the migration of its records and patron
data. So far I've downloaded MarcEdit, and have exported the InMagic
catalogue records as a CSV file. The next step is to map the fields from
InMagic to the MARC framework before uploading to Koha. 

 

Has anyone else done this type of conversion before, from InMagic to
Koha? 

 

Thanks, and I look forward to everything Koha has to offer!

 

-Zack
