Hi #koha |
04:39 |
|
dgl-library |
Quick question: How do I restart Koha from the command line if it seems to have stopped or gotten stuck? |
04:40 |
|
jcamins |
What do you mean stopped or gotten stuck? |
04:40 |
|
dgl-library |
Not accessible from the web browser |
04:41 |
|
dgl-library |
This happens every week or two. |
04:41 |
|
jcamins |
That's your web server rather than Koha. |
04:41 |
|
dgl-library |
¿? |
04:41 |
|
jcamins |
You can try restarting Apache with a command something like: sudo service apache2 restart |
04:41 |
|
dgl-library |
ok, let me try that |
04:42 |
|
jcamins |
Koha is just a series of scripts that reside on your server, and the web server software provides access to them via a web browser. |
04:45 |
|
dgl-library |
Hmm. Koha is running on Debian inside Virtualbox on an Ubuntu host. It seems Koha is reachable within Debian and not outside it. If I restart the virtual Debian box, I'm fairly sure this problem will go away. Is this a Virtualbox networking bug? |
04:46 |
|
jcamins |
Sounds like it. |
04:46 |
|
jcamins |
So, even less to do with Koha than I thought. |
04:46 |
|
dgl-library |
Yep. |

wajasu: Did you write that patch? |
05:26 |
|
wajasu |
yes. |
05:26 |
|
dcook |
I take it that you attached it with git bz? It includes a sign-off line for you |
05:26 |
|
dcook |
I'd suggest re-submitting without the sign-off line and then changing the Bugzilla status to "Needs Signoff" |
05:27 |
|
wajasu |
its hard to change my pattern. i usually sign off. |

yes... |
11:37 |

humph with -z arungit ? |
11:37 |

it would be better to have the line in your crontab |
11:38 |

christophe_c |
and in your browser have you cleaned the cache arungit ? |

11:43 |
|
christophe_c |
maybe arungit you could check if your record is realy deleted in the DB an by the way in the zebraqueue table |
11:44 |
|
arungit |
let me check |
11:48 |
|
christophe_c |
and if in zebraqueue you see your biblionumber with done ==1 try to check if the recordDelete was after the specialupdate for this bibnumber |
11:49 |
|
arungit |
Christ its in a zebraque showing operation = specialupdate |
11:49 |
|
christophe_c |
if not .... the record was deleted then updated .... :-D |
11:49 |
|
christophe_c |
we made a patch |
11:49 |
|
christophe_c |
I can't remember but... a thing like that |
11:50 |
|
arungit |
do i need to delete from zebraqueue? |
11:51 |
|
christophe_c |
done value is arungit ? |
11:52 |
|
christophe_c |
and have you a line for the same with recordDelete ? |
11:53 |
|
christophe_c |
you have to put in crontab rebuild -z -b -v (if you want) and rebuild -z -a [-v] |
12:07 |
|
arungit |
tried but still its showing |
12:12 |

sometimes it feels like nothing used to work under plack? |
17:04 |
|
jcamins |
Almost nothing does. |
17:06 |
|
oleonard |
When things don't work under Plack does that say something bad about the code or about Plack? Or is it neutral? |
17:06 |
|
jcamins |
oleonard: the code. |
17:06 |
|
wahanui |
the code is kept at git.koha-community.org |
17:07 |
|
jcamins |
It means the code was relying on side-effects of the way Apache runs Perl scripts rather than actually doing everything that needs to be done. |

Plack? |

Plack is a FastCGI thingy that works with Koha. See http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Plack for more information. |
17:37 |
|
jcamins |
^^ that page explains how to set up Plack. |
17:37 |
|
kf |
jcamins: I think the trick is to program thread safe? or something like thatß |
17:37 |
|
jcamins |
No one other than me uses Plack heavily, it would seem. |
17:38 |
|
jcamins |
kf: right, code has to be thread-safe, destroy unused module-level variables, and without side-effects. |
17:39 |

thinks exterminate... when reading destroy and should probably go home |

we need to fully decouple the business logic from the templates/view and stick with some framework for the controlling/routing stuff and migrate then migrate the templates there |
17:58 |
|
jcamins |
That would be nice. |
17:58 |
|
tcohen |
what happened with making several stuff OO? |
17:58 |
|
jcamins |
Nothing. |
17:58 |
|

nothing is a requirement, we have guidelines though |
17:58 |
|

libsysguy was on that? |
17:58 |
|
jcamins |
Not really. |
17:58 |
|
jcamins |
There's a patch for adding DBIx::Class. |
17:59 |
|
jcamins |
But I won't push it until nginx+Plack is a viable option out of the box. |
17:59 |
|
jcamins |
And, of course, no one gets paid to do any projects of that sort. |
18:00 |

waives the white towel |
18:08 |

tcohen |
libsysguy: that's a pity |
18:08 |
|
tcohen |
jcamins, I see no relation |
18:08 |
|
jcamins |
tcohen: DBIx::Class is heavy. |
18:08 |
|
jcamins |
Koha is already slow. |
18:09 |
|
jcamins |
Add in DBIx::Class and it is likely to become *very* slow. |
18:09 |
|
jcamins |
So we need a way to balance the weight added by DBIx::Class. |
18:09 |
|
libsysguy |
DBIx::Class will definitely slow it down if koha still uses strictly CGI |
18:09 |
|
tcohen |
moving to PSGI is key then |
18:09 |
|
jcamins |
Right. |
18:09 |
|
libsysguy |
you *need* persistence |
18:09 |
|
jcamins |
That's why it's important that Plack work. |
18:10 |
|
libsysguy |
indeed |
18:11 |
|
tcohen |
(1) Make Koha work under PSGI (2-a) Choose to have or not a persistent layer (2-b) At least have a fully OO set of libs |
18:11 |
|
tcohen |
an ORM will always be heavy |
18:11 |
|
tcohen |
but we need (1) to at least consider it |
18:12 |
|
jcamins |
Right. |
18:12 |
|
libsysguy |
that one statement will take at least 4 release cycles to implement |
18:12 |
|
jcamins |
And as for rewriting everything in Koha to be Object-Oriented and clean, no one is going to be paid to do it. |
18:12 |
|
|
cait joined #koha |
18:12 |
|
tcohen |
Object oriented how? Fully OO? Using Class::Accesor? |
18:13 |
|
libsysguy |
really Moo would be a better option that Class::Accesor |
18:13 |
|
jcamins |
I like Class::Accessor, but it doesn't matter. |
18:13 |
|
jcamins |
The larger issue is that refactoring is not something we do well. |
18:13 |
|
tcohen |
the problem is patches for that wont be accepted if we don't move PSGI |
18:14 |
|
tcohen |
we are almost deadlocked |
18:14 |
|
jcamins |
Moo or Class::Accessor could go in |
18:14 |
|
jcamins |
And the PSGI fixes need to come regardless of anything else. |

because he was confused about what went wrong for me |
18:30 |
|

I am trying to remember |
18:30 |

cait |
gthe patch has a sign-off line from me - that is a bit weird if I didn't sign off |
18:31 |
|
melia |
yeah, I was confused reading the notes on the bug report. I couldn't tell for sure if you'd signed off or not, but it's still marked "needs signoff" |
18:32 |
|

hm seems like kyle did something, reattached the patch and switched form failed qa to needs sign-off |

where are you keeping it? |
20:20 |

Morthland |
well, originally I had it in /koha/opac/ooc, |
20:20 |
|
Morthland |
but I moved it to /koha/opac/cgi-bin/koha/ooc |
20:20 |
|
Morthland |
no luck. |
20:20 |
|
wizzyrea |
yea, ok what you should do |
20:20 |
|
wizzyrea |
is make a folder in /var/www/files and make sure your koha user can read it |
20:20 |
|
wizzyrea |
and host stuff there. |
20:21 |
|
wizzyrea |
or make a folder /var/www/files |
20:21 |
|
wizzyrea |
(files probably doesn't exist) |
20:22 |

How would I link to that? ../../../../../var/www/files? |

You may need to add a line to your Apache config too. |

yea I was just pondering that - |

maybe you must have the default site enabled? which allows access to /var/www |
20:23 |
|
wizzyrea |
yes, that must be it |
20:24 |
|
jcamins |
wizzyrea: nah, it depends how you installed Koha. |
20:24 |
|
jcamins |
Or when. |
20:24 |
|
Morthland |
I installed from source |
20:24 |
|
Morthland |
My koha is in /usr/share |
20:24 |
|
jcamins |
At some point there was an Apache config that pointed to /var/www in addition to /usr/share/koha |
20:25 |
|
jcamins |
What you want to do is add this line to your Apache config: Alias /files "/var/www/files" |
20:25 |
|
Morthland |
right. |
20:25 |
|
jcamins |
That'll go in both VirtualHosts. |

Morthland: have you restarted apache after making those changes? |
20:38 |
|
Morthland |
yes. |
20:38 |
|

wouldnt the apache user have to have read access to /var/www, not the koha user? |
20:38 |
|
cjh |
Morthland: did you modify the permissions for /var/www / |
20:38 |
|
wizzyrea |
yes, actually you're right, I was thinking of the context of mpm-itk |
20:38 |
|
jcamins |
cjh: No, Koha user- itk separates users. |
20:38 |
|
wizzyrea |
ok never mind then. |
20:39 |
|
jcamins |
Wait... does Koha not use itk by default? |
20:39 |
|
Morthland |
just for /var/files/ooc |
20:39 |
|
wizzyrea |
the packages does |
20:39 |

ahh the vhost definitions have assignuserid, didnt see that. |
20:39 |

at least in packages they do. |

20:39 |
|
wizzyrea |
gah sorry grammar fail |
20:39 |
|
Morthland |
Should I change the owner? |
20:39 |

Morthland: the directory should be /var/files/ooc |

Sorry. |

I was reading what you typed while I typed the correction. |
20:40 |
|
cjh |
Morthland: you will need to make /var/www/files readable and execute for the koha user that you mention inside your apache config. |
20:40 |
|
wizzyrea |
(if you mention one) |
20:41 |
|
Morthland |
I haven't mentioned one that I know of. |
20:41 |
|
Morthland |
sorry, yes, it is in var/www/files/ooc |
20:43 |
|
wizzyrea |
and who owns ooc? |
20:43 |
|
wizzyrea |
and what group? |
20:43 |

cjh |
Morthland: if your look in your /etc/apache2/sites-enable/ for your apache2 file, there may be a line like "AssignUserID mykoha-koha mykoha-koha" mykoha-koha is your koha user. |

Bob Elgie's message on Koha General is pretty interesting. It is rather annoying to clone and re-position subfields in Cataloguing :/ |
22:48 |

I wonder how hard it would be to allow drag 'n drop for repositioning.. |
22:49 |

Or to clone pairs of subfields together.. |

I didn't know you could read my mind, rangi :p |

22:55 |

the way that page is generated and saved, would make it very tricky |
22:56 |
|
rangi |
making a better cataloguing page would be probably easier |
22:56 |
|
dcook |
Both those thoughts have been crossing my mind these past couple of minutes |
22:56 |
|
dcook |
Cataloguing is a tough one. Personally, I really did like cataloguing interface in Horizon |
22:57 |
|
rangi |
heres how id do it |
22:57 |
|
dcook |
You could catalogue an entire record quite quickly without taking your hands off the keyboard |
22:57 |
|
rangi |
look at the api in svc/ |
22:57 |
|
rangi |
thats what marcedit is hooking into |
22:57 |
|
rangi |
its a restful (ish) api |
22:57 |
|
rangi |
that you can throw xml at |
22:57 |
|
rangi |
and use that to save your record |
22:58 |
|
rangi |
and then do the editing etc all client side |
22:58 |
|
rangi |
id be inclined to use localstorage and html5 |
22:59 |
|
rangi |
will be a zillion times faster |
22:59 |
|
rangi |
and, is bascially a firefoxOS app too |
22:59 |
|
rangi |
:) |
23:00 |
|
cait |
inspiring :) |
23:00 |
|
rangi |
but yeah if you had client side stuff to manipulate the marcxml |
23:00 |
|
rangi |
then all you need to do is post it to the svc/ api |
23:00 |
|
rangi |
and it gets saved |
23:00 |
|

hopes that makes sense |

a library has asked if it would cause any problems within Koha if they re-use barcodes from deleted items. anybody have opinions on that? |
23:01 |

I certainly like the concept. Now the little hamsters in my brain are trying to figure out how to make it, rangi :p |
23:01 |
|
rangi |
it will |
23:01 |
|
rangi |
(cause problems melia) |
23:01 |
|
melia |
I figured. b/c the barcode is still stored in deleteditems, right? |
23:02 |
|
rangi |
but only when they try to delete the new item |
23:02 |
|

yes |

rangi |
whats a bug? |
23:04 |
|
wahanui |
rumour has it a bug is it stores biblionumber not itemnumber |
23:04 |
|
wizzyrea |
reusing barcodes causes a problem |
23:04 |
|
rangi |
the only way round it is to lose the ability to resurrect deleted items |
23:04 |
|
rangi |
which is a bigger bug :) |
23:04 |
|
wizzyrea |
or have an option to "reuse barcodes" |
23:05 |
|
rangi |
nope that would lose it |
23:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
whereby you nuke out the barcode. |
23:05 |
|
rangi |
exactly |
23:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
(but only that) |
23:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
then you can resurrect the item, and give it a new (old) barcode |
23:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
unless my logic is flawed there somehow. |
23:05 |
|
rangi |
you cant find it |
23:05 |
|
rangi |
once you nuke the barcode |
23:06 |
|
rangi |
so if you nuke barcode on delete, how do you ever find it to undelete? |
23:06 |
|
wizzyrea |
append an identifier "barcode-deleted" |
23:07 |
|
rangi |
how about if you have 500000 of those |
23:07 |
|
rangi |
read them all? |
23:07 |
|
wizzyrea |
it'd get pretty mad |
23:07 |

23:07 |
|
wizzyrea |
barcode + itemnumber |
23:07 |
|
rangi |
its the only human identifable part of an item really |
23:07 |
|
rangi |
yeah but how would hte librarian know the itemnumber |
23:08 |
|
wizzyrea |
they wouldnt :P but they wouldn't have to |
23:08 |
|
wizzyrea |
because when you are resurrecting, the itemnumber is ignored |
23:08 |
|
wizzyrea |
but it does keep it unique |
23:08 |
|
cait |
the field is limited in size |
23:09 |

I am not sure reusing barcodes really makes sense, the only use case I can think of is non-repogrammable rfid tags |
23:09 |
|
wizzyrea |
it doesn't make sense |
23:09 |
|
wizzyrea |
it's a 123 |
23:09 |
|
wizzyrea |
buy more barcodes, it's cheap |
23:09 |
|
rangi |
wizzyrea: they cant find it if it has no barcode and they dont know the itemnumber |
23:09 |
|
wizzyrea |
but people will still see 5c as an expense |
23:09 |

deelte the barcode before deleting the item |

23:09 |

if you delee the barcode |
23:10 |

rangi |
the deleteditems table is useless |
23:10 |

so just dont save to it |

rangi |
if you want to reuse barcode |
23:10 |
|
wizzyrea |
yea, might as well not even do that |
23:10 |
|
rangi |
nuking barcodes makes the table pointless |
23:10 |
|
cait |
hm in part |
23:10 |
|
cait |
here we also have inventory numbers |
23:10 |
|
wizzyrea |
naw you can't find a specific item without the barcode, unless you know the itemnumber |
23:10 |
|
cait |
so losing the barcode would not be so bad, the inventory numberis normally written or stamped into the book |
23:10 |
|
wizzyrea |
but why would you know the itemnumber |
23:11 |
|
rangi |
exactly |
23:11 |
|
|
edveal left #koha |
23:11 |
|
cait |
but I admit that inventory numbers are an exception .. |
23:11 |
|
wizzyrea |
but I do think that appending the itemnumber to the barcode could be a way round this - at least then you could get a list out of all items that HAD that barcode. |
23:12 |
|
rangi |
its an option |
23:12 |
|
wizzyrea |
sure you couldn't necessarily tell which one (biblionumber is in there too though) |
23:12 |
|
wizzyrea |
*was the one that you wanted (didn't finish my thought there) |
23:12 |

23:12 |
|
wizzyrea |
(rather interrupted myself) |
23:12 |
|
rangi |
but i think probably if you want to reuse, you should just not save the deleted item |
23:12 |
|
cait |
ah... not for multiple reuses |
23:12 |

* cait |
is quiet |
23:13 |

rangi: I think libraries here have to keep track of every item they delete |
23:13 |
|
rangi |
cos otherwise the deleteditem table and the items table become different |
23:13 |
|
rangi |
in schema |
23:13 |
|

so it's actually a very useful feature for more than resurrecting :) |

cos all the routines that delete now have to be changed to do some extra logic, undelete is also no longer a select into |

23:16 |

wizzyrea |
or is that one of the lost functions |

rangi |
not in koha, it got killed round 3.0 the code is still there, but you can do it trivially easily from mysql |
23:16 |

rangi |
select * from deleteditems where barcode='fish' into items (not the right syntax but something like that) |

Unless the librarian is passing a list of barcodes to the systems person/folk |
