[Koha] Zebra Status - Is Zebra active? + understanding cmd outputs
Hi all, I just successfully migrated my koha system to a VPS (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit + Koha 3.18.06), and restored the database via mysql. I'm in the process of activating the Z39.50 server and I noticed something odd (again!). When I ran koha-restart-zebra, the terminal returned the following: Zebra does not appear to have been running for instance library | Starting Zebra server for instance library. This is odd, because each time I ran koha-restart-zebra, it returned the same message. I am interpreting this output as zebra not running at all, so now I'm a bit confused ( as OPAC and Staff search are working fine, though I haven't catalogued or imported any new records since the migration). So, I ran ps aux | grep zebra and it returned the following output koha 12183 0.0 0.0 10892 936 pts/0S+ 10:10 0:00 grep zebra library+ 26249 0.0 0.0 19176 248 ?SApr28 0:00 daemon --name=library-koha-zebra --pidfiles=/var/run/koha/library/ --errlog=/var/log/koha/library/zebra-error.log --stdout=/var/log/koha/library/zebra.log --output=/var/log/koha/library/zebra-output.log verbose=1 --respawn --delay=30 --user=library-koha.library-koha -- zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml library+ 26250 0.0 0.0 113264 1248 ?SApr28 0:00 zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml I also ran ps -f -C zebrasrv which returned the following output UIDPID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD library+ 26250 26249 0 Apr28 ?00:00:00 zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml Is there anything fishy going on with the above outputs? I modified the koha-conf.xml file on April 28th, but have since made sure that that file is correctly edited (April 29th). Do the above mean that Zebra is indeed running? Thanks everyone!

[Koha] India specific Open source SMS::Send driver for Unicel released for use with Koha ILS
Dear all, Good news for Koha users in India who wish to use SMS notifications from Koha. I've published an open-source India specific SMS::Send driver that can be used with Koha if you are an Unicel Technologies customer. Unicel Technologies is a fast growing bulk messaging provider from Bangalore, India. Recently I found myself testing out their transactional SMS service (for alerts and notifications from Koha). Initially I wrote a rudimentary driver for my own use. But seeing the demand for support of SMS notifications from Koha coming from Indian users on various fora, I decided to turn it into a formal SMS::Send driver and open source it by uploading it CPAN. http://search.cpan.org/~indradg/SMS-Send-IN-Unicel-0.01/lib/SMS/Send/IN/Unicel.pm My thanks to Jonathan Druart for clearing my doubts on koha-devel, and to Galen Charlton and Chris Cormack for being kind enough to review the module on PrePAN. Thank you all :) Happy Texting! regards, -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 / +91-98745-80971 Blog: http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Craig Butosi schreef op wo 29-04-2015 om 15:08 [+]: Do the above mean that Zebra is indeed running? If search works, zebra is running. What might have happened is that you somehow have an instance running that isn't connected with the daemon controller system and so it checks for it, fails to find it, tries to start a new zebrasrv, and that fails because there's already one there. I've seen this happen occasionally though I don't know what gets it into this state. My suggestion would be to do koha-stop-zebra library, pkill zebrasrv, then do koha-start-zebra library. But, if search is working, it's safe enough to leave alone, just have in the back of your mind that it's a bit strange right now. It'll probably clear itself up next time you do a reboot anyway. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] Running koha on Debian Jessie.
Hi there Alex, Alex King schreef op do 30-04-2015 om 14:08 [+1200]: I'd like to upgrade the OS to Debian 8 (Jessie), which has recently been released as stable. I came across a message from Robin, which I can't find now, to the effect that a dependency issue required a patch which was due to land in 3.18.06. This patch is in 3.18.06.2, which is in the repo now. So after I take a backup, I'm going to (up)grade koha to 3.18.06 and the OS to 8.0. Is anyone aware of outstanding issues running this configuration? I'm not, however I've only tested package installation, I haven't actually brought a system up to running. So you should give it a go and see how it works out for you :) The wiki documentation at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian seems out of date, further down the page it talks about squeeze and even lenny. I assume stable packages are targeted for wheezy or both wheezy and squeeze. Stable packages are targeted for everything. I'm going to replace the content of that page with this one pretty soon: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Talk:Koha_on_Debian#Debian_Packages_on_Koha If there are no objections, I'll update that page to refer to wheezy instead, and put a note to the effect that it should be possible to run it on jessie but as of April 2015 it's a less well tested configuration than running on Wheezy. I'd kinda prefer that you review the new version and update that if you feel things need correction :) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
[Koha] Running koha on Debian Jessie.
I have been given the task of checking an install of koha running on a recently installed Debian server.

Re: [Koha] Running koha on Debian Jessie.
Greetings, I got my git dev install running on Debian Jessie. Is anyone aware of outstanding issues running this configuration? I encountered a 403 error trying to get past the web install step, but this helped: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Gitified_install_returns_403_errors I also encountered zebra indexing issues, which Robin helped me by reminding me of: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Zebra#No_such_record_type Tweaking the two dom config files and a full reindex later, I'm rather happy.
