15:08 lastnode if im mailing koha@lists.katipo (koha general), is it ok if I introduce myself and send a list of questions i have regarding an upcoming deployment of koha?
15:09 cait sounds ok to me
15:10 cait perhaps you want to ask questions about different things in more than one mail
15:10 cait a long list of questions might be a bit difficult to answer
15:10 lastnode ok
15:10 cait make sure you include information about what version you are planning to use and hardware and such - make it easy for people to answer :)
15:11 lastnode i was thinking more like hi, this is me, this is my planned setup. is my plan feasible/robust, am i safe?
15:11 lastnode yes, id be sure to do that
15:21 lastnode also, technical question - in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysitname i see #TransferLog and #RewriteLog both commented out (for OPAC and Intranet). if i want access log i assume i have to uncomment #TransferLog on both?
15:21 lastnode i just noticed that koha hits werent being written to /etc/apache2/access.log
15:22 lastnode are they being written somewhere else and I just cant find it?
15:29 cait there are logs under var/logs to
15:29 cait too
15:29 cait not sue about the packages setup
15:29 cait for a dev installation it's koha-dev/var/logs/
15:30 lastnode cait: yes there are logs in /var/log/koha/sitename/
15:30 wahanui Hmm.  No matches for that, lastnode.
15:30 lastnode but only intranet-error.log and opac-error.log
15:30 lastnode the #TransferLog and #Rewritelog are both commented out
15:31 lastnode wahanui: didn't follow you, mate
15:31 wahanui lastnode: huh?
15:31 cait lastnode: wahanui is our bot :)

17:30 em :D
17:30 em i get it work :D
17:31 cait em: 4.2?
17:31 jcamins_away em: oops. If I'd realized you had downloaded the LibLime version, I would've told you where to get Koha.
17:31 em lol, thats okay :), also, incase you need to help future people....
17:31 em i can tell you how to find your passwords if you want ?
17:31 jcamins_away Sorry about that. I figured you meant Koha 3.4.
17:32 jcamins_away em: yeah, that would be helpful to know, since I don't use the livecd.
17:32 em ok
17:32 em they are all in the koha-conf.xml file , i dont know where it is, you just search
17:33 jcamins_away Ah, yeah, that was going to be my next suggestion, when I was back at a computer.
17:33 em well, i got it to work now :)
17:33 jcamins_away Good!
17:33 em yes
17:34 em i am on the web installer paret :)
17:34 em watch this brake :D, with my luck it will :D
17:36 em question, why is there 2 koha's ?
17:38 jcamins_away There isn't.
17:38 jcamins_away There's Koha, and there's LibLime's software.
17:38 jcamins_away Koha is an open source project.
17:38 em oh, liblime isn't?
17:39 jcamins_away LibLime is one company that used to support the software created by the Koha project.
17:39 jcamins_away At some point, they "forked" the project, and started working on their own version of the software.
17:39 jcamins_away That's what they called Harley.
17:40 em ah, so they copyed the code an changed some things, and make money from support?
17:40 jcamins_away Then they changed the name from "Harley" to "LibLime Koha 4.2," I guess because "Koha" is an awesome name, and "Harley" makes people think of motorcycles. ;)
17:40 jcamins_away Right.
17:41 em lol
17:41 em wow
17:41 em they are abusing the open source part
17:41 jcamins_away Yes they are.
17:41 em thats sad
17:42 jcamins_away The Koha project is still very active developing Koha, though, and that's the important thing. :)
17:42 em :D
17:44 em koha should make note that liblme is not apart of koha, as i thought because liblime had 4.2 , it was better, but i was reading instrucintions to download from koha's manual :O
17:45 cait documentation?
17:45 wahanui hmmm... documentation is at http://koha-community.org/documentation/
17:45 cait the links in this documentaiton should be right
17:45 cait we can't influence the content that is displayed at koha.org domain
17:45 jcamins_away Usually people on #koha remember to check that you're using Koha and not LibLime's software.
17:46 em yeah, but i didn't :D
17:46 jcamins_away em: I mean, if you had been on at a different time, someone other than me would have asked you.
17:46 em lol, true
17:46 em another question
17:47 em if i use aws.amazon.com for images, does it cost me money?
17:47 cait no
17:47 cait amazon and google content are free, but you have to register at amazon
17:48 em ok
17:48 jcamins_away If you're using EC2, you'll have to pay whatever the hosting fees are.
17:48 jcamins_away Never mind.
17:48 jcamins_away Listen to cait.
17:48 em because there is a payment section on aws.amazon .com
17:48 cait hehe
17:48 jcamins_away I misunderstood your question.
17:48 cait you can get money from it
17:48 cait if people follow your links and buy books
17:48 jcamins_away It's completely free. I thought you meant running a server on Amazon.
17:48 cait they give you money for it
17:49 cait i think that's what the payment section is for you are talking about :)
17:49 em oh
17:49 em alot has changed since i last used koha
17:49 em especily in the opac
17:49 cait positive or negative?
17:49 cait I hope positive :)
17:50 em postive, alot :)
17:50 em you can make it so people cant return books on self checkout
17:50 em i thought that was very retarted before
17:51 em you just click a button to "Return" your book, ?!?!?!?!?!?!
17:52 em i also found a bug :o
17:52 em or an operator error :o
17:53 cait we are talking about web self check?
17:54 em no
17:54 em about opac
17:54 em do you want to here it?
17:54 cait it's ok - but the return thing is web self check I think :)
17:54 em yes it is
17:55 em i found a compleate diffrent bug :o
17:55 cait I am all ears :)
17:55 em ok
17:56 em on opac settings, if you make it NO RENEW on the opac, there is an option if you have it enabbled where if they have more then ____ in fines, they cant renew, even if you have renew on opac turrend off, if they have more then that amount in fines, it will say on there account "You have more then _____ in fines, you can not renew online"
17:57 cait not sure i can follow
17:57 em ok
17:57 em on opac
17:57 em there is 2 options
17:57 em (admin)
17:58 em 1 of them, asks if you can let people renew online via.(opac)
17:58 em the other, says If the person goes over ___ in fines, then they cant renew online
17:59 em if you put the option to disable online renewing via. opac
17:59 em and the person on opac goes over ___ in fines, it will say "You cannont renew online because you have more then ___ in fines
17:59 em even if they cant anyway
18:00 cait oh
18:00 em got it now? :D
18:00 cait but why would you set the amount when you don#t allow renewals in general?
18:00 cait I think you would leave it empty
18:01 em ok
18:01 em if you set it to nothing
18:01 em it says,
18:01 em YOU HAVE OVER 0.00 in fines, you canot renew online
18:02 cait hm
18:02 cait that's a bit weird
18:02 jcamins_away I think that may be the default error message.
18:02 jcamins_away There's a bug for it.
18:02 jcamins_away Somewhere.
18:02 em ok
18:03 jcamins_away Not sure how to find it... you could report another one, and if anyone finds the old one, they'll mark it as a duplicate.
18:03 jcamins_away That'd probably be best.
18:03 em ok, how would i report it?
18:04 jcamins_away http://bugs.koha-community.org/
18:05 jcamins_away bugs?
18:05 wahanui bugs are everwhere eeek :)
18:05 jcamins_away wahanui: forget bugs

18:06 em i will, if i get round to it :)
18:07 em can you add book images manuly, without going through google?
18:08 em or amazon, etc.
18:08 jcamins_away No.
18:08 cait no, currently it's not possible
18:08 em :( thats poopey
18:09 em hey, i got a prob
18:09 em lem
18:10 em in opac, it says on all searches, even if the book exists, it says no results found
18:10 em and in staff client
18:11 em it finds it by barcode in check in, but no searches
18:11 jcamins_away Sounds like a problem with Zebra.
18:11 jcamins_away searching faq?
18:11 wahanui i guess searching faq is at http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/faq/searching/
18:11 jcamins_away ^^ try the suggestions on that page.
18:11 em i have not done anything to zebra, should i?
18:11 em oj
18:11 em h
18:11 em oh
18:12 em how do i re-index zebra?
18:12 cait there is a job for that
18:12 cait have you set up your cronjobs=
18:12 cait ?
18:12 em i dont think so
18:12 cait is zebrasrv running?
18:13 em ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
18:13 em i dont know what your talking about
18:13 Technicus left #koha
18:13 cait are you using zebra?
18:13 em yes
18:13 cait ok
18:13 cait check the install files for zebrasrv and the cronjobs
18:13 cait you need to run the rebuild_zebra script with -z as cronjob
18:13 em ?
18:14 cait it's in the manual :)
18:14 em ok
18:14 em what one?
18:14 wahanui somebody said one was readyish, it has had qa and some feedback provided, if you wanted to respond to the questions in that feedback then that branch could be merged
18:14 em im confused
18:15 em someone intrested in a step by step walk with me?
18:15 em i'll take that as a no?
18:16 jcamins_away documentation?
18:16 wahanui documentation is at http://koha-community.org/documentation/
18:16 jcamins_away ^^ that manual
18:16 em ok
18:17 cait and ignore wahanui  - he is a bot
18:17 cait or not ignore him, but don't wonder about strange comments :)
18:17 em lol, k
18:17 em will he talk to me if i say his name?
18:19 em i looked in the manual, and you dont know how confused i am
18:19 em i wouldn't even know where to type it in even if i knew how ... :s
18:20 em
18:20 jcamins_away em: try running the following:
18:20 em where?
18:20 jcamins_away rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r -v
18:20 jcamins_away Just in the terminal.
18:20 em ok
18:20 jcamins_away You'll have to locate rebuild_zebra.pl.
18:21 em ok, thats what i ment :)
18:21 em searching ...
18:22 em found, going there ...
18:23 em there
18:23 em entering code ...
18:23 em command not found
18:23 em rebuild_zebra.pl
18:24 em should it be, PERL rebuild_zebra.PL -b -a -r -v   ?
18:24 jcamins_away Don't capitlize anything in the command.
18:25 em ok, it broke
18:25 em when i used perl
18:25 jcamins_away What error messages did you get?
18:25 em errcode 109
18:25 em could not select database
18:25 em permission denied
18:26 em should i go sudo -s
18:26 jcamins_away Hm.
18:26 jcamins_away I have no idea what the error means.
18:26 em i tried again with sudo, it worked
18:27 em search still broken
18:27 em what about crontabs?
18:27 jcamins_away Read the file INSTALL.debian.
18:27 jcamins_away It explains all the steps for setting Zebra up.
18:28 em i am not on debian
18:28 em should i still read it?
18:30 jcamins_away Yes.
18:30 jcamins_away You're on Ubuntu, which is almost the same thing.
18:30 em ok
18:32 em it says zebra server already running
18:36 em HELP!
18:36 jcamins_away I'm out of ideas, sorry.
18:36 jcamins_away I always install Koha from scratch, and it just works.
18:37 em i know, but i have no idea how to do this
18:37 jcamins_away Nor do I.
18:37 em hmm
18:37 jcamins_away None of the suggestions in the FAQ I sent you helped?
18:37 em not really, it just tells you what to do, not how
18:41 em hmm
18:41 jcamins_away You might want to consider hiring a Koha support vendor- administering Koha does require a base level of comfort with Linux.
18:41 em uhh, $$$ = 0$
18:41 jcamins_away Yeah, that's unfortunate.
18:41 em yep
18:41 em hmm
18:42 em i just need to install crontabs
18:42 em zebra has been re-indexed
18:42 em and search still broken
18:43 jcamins_away If search is broken, then the problem isn't with cron.
18:43 em ok
18:43 jcamins_away The cron job is only needed for *new* records.
18:43 em oh
18:44 em i have no records
18:44 jcamins_away So if you're getting no results, there's another issue, which I don't think I can offer any help with.
18:44 em then i made 1
18:44 jcamins_away You might have more luck on #koha if you are around during business hours, not on a holiday weekend.
18:44 em that is here, right?
18:45 em hmm, okay
18:45 em will come back on tuesday
18:45 em bye
18:46 jcamins_away Right. That might be a good idea.
18:46 em ok
18:46 em left #koha
18:57 hdl joined #koha
19:14 rangi i suspect he didnt read the UPGRADE part of the INSTALL file, like i said to :)
