Hey everyone |
| 00:03 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Hello |
| 00:03 |
|
nelson |
I am looking for a little help with installing koha - I've gotten all the way to logging into the staff back-end for the first time |
| 00:03 |

The trouble is, I get a blank webpage |
| 00:04 |
|
nelson |
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated |
| 00:04 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Hmm. Have you checked the error log? |
| 00:04 |
|
nelson |
I have - and it is complaining of not being to query a bunch of DB tables - which makes sense because I haven't gotten to that part in the install |
| 00:04 |
|
nelson |
Am I supposed to install the DB tables prior to logging in for the first time? The guide I followed says no |
| 00:05 |
|
pianohackr|work |
No, you shouldn't have to |
| 00:05 |
|
pianohackr|work |
What page is in your browser's address bar? |
| 00:05 |
|
pianohackr|work |
It should have redirected you to the installer |
| 00:06 |
|
nelson |
I point my browser to http://localhost:8080 which redirects me to http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/[…]taller/install.pl |
| 00:06 |
|
pianohackr|work |
That's correct |
| 00:06 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Which kind of install did you do? standard? |
| 00:06 |
|
nelson |
standard |
| 00:07 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Could you give me a link to the guide you're following? Also, does anything else show up in the error log besides the missing table complaints? |
| 00:08 |
|
nelson |
Sure, one second |
| 00:08 |
|
pianohackr|work |
thanks |

I am running CentOS 5 so I am following : http://www.dpl.gov.in/centos5-koha3.html |
| 00:09 |
|
nelson |
(Also note that I elected not to install Yaz/Zebra and made sure all Perl pre-reqs were installed) |

Hi, owen |

How's your weekend going? |

|

So far so good |

I got a query from someone from vokal, a question about their opac |
| 00:11 |
|
nelson |
These are the only-non DB related errors |
| 00:11 |

| 00:11 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Ahh, there we go |
| 00:11 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Where did you install koha to? |
| 00:11 |
|
nelson |
\etc\koha and \usr\share\koha |
| 00:12 |
|
nelson |
It looks like I have a bad install of HTML::Template::Pro? |
| 00:12 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Nope, htp is fine |
| 00:12 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Just need to change your koha-conf.xml a bit |
| 00:12 |
|
nelson |
Alrighty :) |
| 00:12 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Near the bottom, there's two entries for opachtdocs and intrahtdocs |
| 00:13 |
|
nelson |
Yep |
| 00:13 |
|
nelson |
<opachtdocs>/usr/opac/templates</opachtdocs> <intrahtdocs>/usr/intranet/templates</intrahtdocs> |
| 00:13 |
|
pianohackr|work |
You need to make sure that those point to the directories in /usr/share/koha where the templates for the opac and intranet live |
| 00:13 |
|
nelson |
Ahhh Ok |
| 00:13 |
|
nelson |
I'll give that a try and report back, thank you |
| 00:14 |
|
pianohackr|work |
owen: But they don't use community Koha; how could you possibly help them? It's just out of your hands |
| 00:15 |
|
owen |
:) |
| 00:15 |
|
owen |
One of their installs is showing no facets on the search results page |
| 00:15 |
|
owen |
I'm not sure if it's a template-mod problem or if there could be something else |
| 00:16 |
|
owen |
Now that I look again I suspect a template mod... If they'd switched on NoZebra by mistake their searching would break wouldn't it? |
| 00:17 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Yup |
| 00:17 |
|
owen |
I wish I'd gotten to them before they started changing templates :( |
| 00:18 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Blurgh, no kidding. Are they at least using git? |
| 00:18 |
|
owen |
Don't know. If they are they're not publicising the fact. |
| 00:19 |
|
owen |
It sounds like they're go-getters with their hearts in the right place and they need some guidance |
| 00:20 |
|
nelson |
Alright I'm sorry to say that that did not work :( |
| 00:20 |
|
nelson |
To get the intranet function to work, I changed the line to <intrahtdocs>/usr/share/koha/intranet/intranet-tmpl</intrahtdocs> |
| 00:21 |
|
nelson |
Oh wait |
| 00:21 |
|
nelson |
That was mildly stupid of me, I forgot the htdocs in the directory tree :P Now it works |
| 00:22 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Cool |
| 00:22 |
|
nelson |
Thank you for your help, pianohackr :) |
| 00:22 |
|
pianohackr|work |
owen: I hope so. Getting these apparently much-desired consortia features into open-source Koha from any vendor seems to be like pulling teeth |
| 00:22 |
|
pianohackr|work |
nelson: Not a problem |
| 00:23 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Let us know if you need anything else |
| 00:23 |
|
nelson |
Will do - have a good night |

Koha needs a league of superheros to pile into an invisible jet and race to any library considering modifying their template |
| 00:32 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Not all of us are so willing to abuse jQuery, owen ;) |
| 00:33 |
|
pianohackr|work |
But yeah, it can make maintenance difficult even if you have git and familiarity with Koha's innards |
| 00:33 |
|
owen |
It's not abuse if jQuery is willing ;) |
| 00:33 |
|
pianohackr|work |
Gah |
| 00:35 |
|
owen |
Anyway, no more Saturday night Koha for me. Back to goofing off. |

looks possible, but how difficult remains to be seen |

heh yep |
| 22:09 |

actually looks to be a bad idea atm due to potential encoding issues |
