hello? |
| 04:02 |
|
dewey |
well, hello is anyone here |
| 04:03 |
|
pupung |
hi CGI131 |
| 04:03 |
|
CGI131 |
hello pupung, how are you? |
| 04:04 |
|
CGI131 |
K'm a Koha newbie who has just installed Koha 2.2.5 and I haven't finished setting it up, but I have some questions. Can you please help me? |
| 04:06 |
|
pupung |
ill try my best |
| 04:06 |
|
pupung |
btw, dont you want to install 2.3.0? |
| 04:08 |
|
CGI131 |
Thanks. Here are my questions. |
| 04:08 |
|
CGI131 |
I ran into a bug. I haven't finished going through all the configuration in the online manual, so that might be the cause, but I think it's something else. |
| 04:09 |
|
CGI131 |
I was on the advanced search NPL skin webpage for users and I changed the language from English to French. |
| 04:09 |
|
pupung |
what linux distro are you using |
| 04:09 |
|
CGI131 |
But I think I didn't load French during the installation. |
| 04:09 |
|
pupung |
uhh oh |
| 04:09 |
|
CGI131 |
So it says "internal server error" whenever I try to access the catalog page, so basically the user interface doesn't work. |
| 04:09 |
|
pupung |
wait.. let's wait for the french users here, sorry havent experienced that since i dont use french.. |
| 04:10 |
|
pupung |
internal server error.. did you consult the error logs? |
| 04:10 |
|
pupung |
like of apache's? |
| 04:10 |
|
CGI131 |
I guess it set something in the database that it reads to start up, and then it tries to access a nonexistent file, and the server can't serve it. |
| 04:10 |
|
CGI131 |
Just guessing. |
| 04:10 |
|
pupung |
i usually experience error 500 when mysql is not working |
| 04:11 |
|
CGI131 |
So, do you know of any tables in the mysql database that have the value "English" or "French"? (en or fr)? |
| 04:11 |
|
pupung |
is mysql loaded in your memory |
| 04:11 |
|
CGI131 |
This is not giving a number, it just says 500. |
| 04:11 |
|
CGI131 |
I could reinstall it. Uninstall and reinstall, and put in both english and french. |
| 04:11 |
|
pupung |
did you do that? |
| 04:11 |
|
pupung |
like clear all things,, drop the db |
| 04:12 |
|
pupung |
delete the koha folder and restart? |
| 04:12 |
|
CGI131 |
well, I looked at the logs in (wait... let me find the path) |
| 04:13 |
|
CGI131 |
whoops sorry it just says "internal server error" |
| 04:13 |
|
CGI131 |
the path is /usr/local/koha/logs |
| 04:13 |
|
pupung |
uhuh |
| 04:13 |
|
pupung |
how bout /var/log/apache |
| 04:13 |
|
CGI131 |
Thank you, I'll check that, one second ... |
| 04:16 |
|
CGI131 |
well, i looked but it doesn't give any names of files, or anythiing that looks descriptive that would point to the problem |
| 04:16 |
|
CGI131 |
the apache error log, that is |
| 04:17 |
|
pupung |
hmm how bout mysql |
| 04:17 |
|
pupung |
did you check the logs of your mysql? |
| 04:18 |
|
CGI131 |
No, I'm sorry, do you know where they are? |
| 04:19 |
|
CGI131 |
Mysql is loaded, I think - It's running, you can see it with "ps aux" in the process table. |
| 04:19 |
|
pupung |
i think it's in /var/log/mysql |
| 04:19 |
|
pupung |
ahh ok |
| 04:19 |
|
CGI131 |
Thanks, let me check. |
| 04:21 |
|
CGI131 |
There is a /var/log/mysqld.llg but it jsut seems to have messages in it like "mysqld ended", "mysqld started", and some stuff "you should upgrade your hardware" |
| 04:21 |
|
CGI131 |
The last thing it says is "ready for connections" |
| 04:21 |
|
CGI131 |
So I don't think that's it. |
| 04:22 |
|
CGI131 |
The koha logs have lots of information. Maybe I'll try to connect to the koha webpage again, and then see what are the last messages in the logs. |
| 04:23 |
|
CGI131 |
Huh, well, it's back now, so who knows what that was. |
| 04:23 |
|
pupung |
yeah |
| 04:23 |
|
pupung |
but did you try to reinstall koha? |
| 04:23 |
|
CGI131 |
I mean the page is showing the search engine page, without the "internal server error" - let me try searching once. |
| 04:23 |
|
CGI131 |
I didn't reinstall. It just righted itself somehow. |
| 04:24 |
|
CGI131 |
Maybe having to do with my closing the staff client page? |
| 04:24 |
|
CGI131 |
I have no idead. |
| 04:25 |
|
CGI131 |
I would like to update to the most recent stable version - I think it's 2.2.9 |
| 04:25 |
|
CGI131 |
Do you know which version(s) of Fedora Core or Debian it will work with? |
| 04:25 |
|
CGI131 |
I'm afraid of upgrading to the latest Fedora Core and then finding it doesn't work and I have to downgrade, because I'm not sure how to downgrade. |
| 04:26 |
|
pupung |
ofcourse any version of koha will work on debian |
| 04:26 |
|
pupung |
dunno with FC |
| 04:26 |
|
CGI131 |
Also, I heard Koha doesn't work with MySQL 5 (or I read it). |
| 04:26 |
|
CGI131 |
Will Koha work with any version of Debian? |
| 04:26 |
|
pupung |
yeah |
| 04:26 |
|
pupung |
koha is developed on debian |
| 04:27 |
|
CGI131 |
Yes, but do you know, sometimes if you have the latest version of something, then applications don't work on it. |
| 04:27 |
|
pupung |
just stay with mysql 4.0 |
| 04:27 |
|
pupung |
or 4.1 |
| 04:27 |
|
pupung |
there are backports.. |
| 04:27 |
|
pupung |
ex. dotdeb |
| 04:28 |
|
pupung |
dotdeb.org |
| 04:30 |
|
CGI131 |
Do you know, something else is strange. I can't find the page I was looking at before, that had options like "make purchase requests", "book shelf", "recently read history". |
| 04:30 |
|
CGI131 |
I don't see it? Do you where it is? |
| 04:31 |
|
CGI131 |
Maybe because I was logged in as KohaAdmin on one window, it took a cookie setting or something, and made it look like I was logged in? |
| 04:32 |
|
CGI131 |
Oh, yeah, that's what it was. |
| 04:33 |
|
pupung |
you mean you're at the opac? |
| 04:33 |
|
CGI131 |
But it's still working, yeah. |
| 04:34 |
|
CGI131 |
Well, I'll be careful not to do that. Maybe I'll look at the source of the html. |
| 04:34 |
|
CGI131 |
I have a feeling that if I run into more trouble, I'll have to upgrade, because I doubt they're maintaining the old versions of Koha. |
| 04:35 |
|
CGI131 |
Thank you very much, Pupung. |
| 04:35 |
|
CGI131 |
What are backports? |
| 04:36 |
|
pupung |
ohh its the a compatible version of an old package for a new version of a distribution |
| 04:37 |
|
pupung |
it's like installing mysql 4.0 at an ubuntu feisty which bundles 5.0 |
| 04:37 |
|
CGI131 |
It may have had something to do with the file /cgi-bin/koha/changelanguage.pl |
| 04:37 |
|
CGI131 |
That's what's at that part of the form in the HTML source. |
| 04:38 |
|
CGI131 |
Do you mean it's a mirror to download MySQL 4.0? |
| 04:38 |
|
CGI131 |
Or it points to them? |
| 04:38 |
|
pupung |
mysql 4.0 requires files that are no longer available in newer linux distro |
| 04:39 |
|
pupung |
you need backports to install it |
| 04:39 |
|
CGI131 |
Does dotdeb have those files, or tell where to get them? |
| 04:41 |
|
CGI131 |
It's not just for Debian, it has resources for Ubuntu, too? |
| 04:41 |
|
pupung |
yes dotdeb has them |
| 04:41 |
|
pupung |
ohh for ubuntu, just point your apt to older versions like warty or hoary |
| 04:41 |
|
pupung |
they should be compatible |
| 04:43 |
|
CGI131 |
May I please ask you which versions you are running of Koha, Linux, MySQL, Apache, and Perl? |
| 04:43 |
|
pupung |
Koha 2.2.9 (planning to upgrade to 2.3.0) |
| 04:43 |
|
pupung |
Ubuntu Feisty |
| 04:43 |
|
pupung |
Mysql 4.1 |
| 04:43 |
|
pupung |
Apache 2.0 |
| 04:44 |
|
pupung |
Perl 5.8 |
| 04:44 |
|
pupung |
well ill be installing a new linux distro called freespire |
| 04:45 |
|
CGI131 |
Thank you. What's FreeSpire? Is it a flavor of Linux like Ubuntu or Debian? |
| 04:45 |
|
CGI131 |
How stable is the Koha 2.2.9 that you're running? |
| 04:47 |
|
CGI131 |
Oh, I see the FreeSpire website, it says Freespire 2.0 begins with Ubuntu (Version 7.04) as its baseline. |
| 04:49 |
|
pupung |
yeah |
| 04:49 |
|
pupung |
hehehe |
| 04:49 |
|
pupung |
it's a cute desktop |
| 04:49 |
|
pupung |
well i have to have a desktop on top of a server |
| 04:49 |
|
pupung |
it's pretty frustrating |
| 04:49 |
|
pupung |
we lack funds to purchase a dedicated server |
| 04:50 |
|
pupung |
good thing about freespire is that it bundles propriety drivers.. |
| 04:55 |
|
CGI131 |
Thank you very much for all your help. Do you know anyone who is using a recent version of Koha on a Fedora Core system? |
| 04:56 |
|
pupung |
errmm |
| 04:56 |
|
pupung |
sorry i have no idea who uses such |
| 04:57 |
|
CGI131 |
Have a good night, Pupung. Thank you. |
| 04:57 |
|
pupung |
sure |
| 04:57 |
|
pupung |
you too |
| 04:57 |
|
pupung |
anyway it's 1pm here |
