Re: [Koha] Help! Software Error
Thanks Katrin! I think that's the best solution for now, to turn off AnonSuggestions. I'm also particularly curious if the web crawler is related to this spammer in opac suggestions. Oh well, will investigate further. Thanks and cheers! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Help-Software-Error-tp5842000p5843700.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
Re: [Koha] Help! Software Error
It seems the borrowernumber in question does not have a username and password: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5843702/kohaopacsuggest_spam1.png as opposed to another user that has: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5843702/kohaopacsuggest_spam2.png It seems the spammer exploited this feature and used the username with no password to spam the opac suggestion. My bad for saying borrowernumber 2 as default Koha user which it was not the case. Thanks a lot there! :) -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Help-Software-Error-tp5842000p5843702.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

More interesting find in this particular koha server are spammed purchase suggestions from here: http://hreplib.congress.gov.ph/cgi-bin/koha/opac-suggestions.pl Sample image here: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5843576/1.jpg and here: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5843576/koha_opacsuggestspam2.jpg . And looking at the database, the suggestedby row is '2' which is the Koha default user, here's the picture: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5843576/koha_opacsuggestspam3.jpg With regards to security, are we seeing something strange here? I will be adding opac-suggestions.pl in the robots.txt and then turn off purchase suggestions on the OPAC if same weird event persists.

That will be nice MJ. So that other koha (system) administrators will be able to optimize their Koha ILS and tuned it for better performance.

Re: [Koha] Help! Software Error
It might be enough to turn off AnonSuggestions. Koha will use the AnonymousPatron borrowernumber for those - which might be what you are seeing there.

I'm particularly curious if that really is the case. It's quite plausible. All manner of things can go wrong when you run out of disk space, at the very least I'd expect mysql to throw a bit of a fit. For the servers we monitor, part of that monitoring by default is keeping an eye on disk space, usually warning when it gets below about 70% free and erroring at 80%. Often the final 10% of a disk is reserved for the superuser only in order to make it possible for them to log in and repair things.
