Time Nick Message 03:29 jean hi 04:00 Sylvain hi all 04:02 chris hi sylvain 04:14 jean Im currently working on a doc for optimising apache, mysql and linux for koha. Is there any other doc about this subject on the wiki or elsewhere? 04:14 chris there is some documentation on optimising mysql 04:14 jean nice 04:14 chris ill just try to find it :) 04:15 jean do u have the link i cant find it on the wiki 04:15 jean thx :) 04:17 chris it was something kados wrote 04:17 jean thx i will google it 04:18 chris ahh it might have just been this email 04:18 chris http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2005/004191.html 04:18 chris he might not have finished it yet, would be worth dropping him an email and asking him how he's getting along 04:27 jean thx 04:27 jean it can be good if i dont start from scratch again :) 04:27 chris yep 04:27 chris do you use firefox jean? 04:30 jean yes 04:30 chris http://www.bigballofwax.co.nz/cgi-bin/blosxom 04:30 jean why ? 04:31 jean what does this plugin do ? 04:31 chris if you click on the install the hlt koha opac plugin you should then be able to search the HLT opac using the little search window in the top right of mozilla 04:31 chris where it has google, yahoo, amazon etc 04:32 jean nice 04:32 chris it was quite easy to do, so ppl could quite easily set it up for their own opacs 04:33 chris i thought it might be something koha users would like 04:34 jean sure. All this little things can be a bonus for a project like koha 04:34 chris yes 04:40 Sylvain and in the same field, something using rss for new acquisitions (think I saw some projects for it but nothing finished) would be intersting 04:40 chris ahh that is finished 04:41 Sylvain great :) 04:41 chris uts certainly in cvs 04:42 chris maybe it hasnt made it into the release 04:42 chris if you have a cvs checkout its in the rss dir 04:42 chris with a good README 04:42 Sylvain ok, i'll have a look 04:43 Sylvain btw, the plugin for FF is a really good idea ! 04:43 chris ah ha 04:43 chris its in /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/rss 04:43 chris should really be in /usr/local/koha/intranet/scripts/rss 04:44 chris but it appears to be all there 04:44 jean chris : did u test pseudo file systems like tmpfs ? 04:45 chris yep, it certainly helps to have /tmp under tmpfs 04:46 chris as mysql will write temporary files to there if it needs to do something big 04:46 jean and some part of koha's cgi code and mysql .frm .MYI and .MYD ? 04:47 chris i havent tried the .MYI and .MYD files 04:47 jean ok 04:47 chris im too paranoid that in a crash, we would lose data 04:47 jean can be a way for my tunning 04:47 jean thx 04:47 jean :) 04:47 jean yes but with cron it can be good no ? 04:47 chris i think so 04:47 jean 2 or 3 times a day is enough 04:48 chris putting /var/lib/mysql on its on partition or disk 04:48 chris can win a lot of speed too 04:48 chris what you could do, is run the main machine with tmpfs 04:49 chris and use mysql replication to slave to another machine that has real disk 04:49 chris as well as the cron jobs 04:49 chris to be super safe :) 04:49 jean hehe 04:49 jean nice idea 04:50 jean do u know if paul is going to come today ? 04:50 chris we run replication at HLT, its pretty easy to set up, and works well, and it gives nice peace of mind knowing we have a real time backup 04:50 chris im not sure 04:50 jean k thx 04:50 chris its nearly time for me to go to bed .. thats when paul normally arrives :) 04:51 jean :) 10:03 owen Sylvain, I've worked a little with Koha's RSS script, and it does work 10:04 Sylvain ok, I havent't had time to lookat it 10:04 Sylvain but still think it's an intersting improvement :) 10:05 owen http://search.athenscounty.lib.oh.us/lastAcquired.xml 10:05 owen It's pretty rough. It could use some improvements (and integration with templates). Right now you have to hand-edit conf files to get it working. 10:07 Sylvain Well it seems to work fine in my rss reader 10:08 Sylvain I'd be interested to know if users use this function, let me know if you have informations from them ... 10:08 owen It's just recently that I've been trying this out. We haven't posted the links on the public site yet. 10:08 owen But I'll let you know if I get some feedback later 10:10 jean bye... 10:10 Sylvain If the library of my town was doing it I'd add it to my rss reader but I'm a geek, always intersting to know how 'normal' users use internet features ... 10:10 Sylvain bye jean 10:11 owen Yes, I'll be curious to find out if our library customers use it.
