00:00 rangi theres ways around it, ... and better ways than ENV
00:00 pianohacker_DND agreed
00:00 pianohacker_DND but where does the config go, given that the use-case assumes multiple virtualhosts sharing one koha-conf.xml?
00:01 rangi i think setting headers
00:02 pianohacker_DND yeah, that seems reasonable enough, assuming there's some way we can filter out those headers in external traffic
00:02 pianohacker_DND there's no way we can make this backwards compatible with existing setups though, no?
00:02 rangi well you could remove, and add a new
00:02 rangi to make sure its only ever the header we set
00:03 pianohacker_DND yeah
00:03 rangi not easily no, we made the bad decision to use ENV variables in the past .. can't go back to that really
00:04 pianohacker_DND I think I'll end up implementing this and submitting it since it seems like a workable patch and we have customers looking to test plack
00:04 rangi yep
00:04 * rangi goes to eat pizza
00:05 * Francesca wishes she could have pizza too
00:06 pianohacker_DND I think I need stress pizza
00:06 pianohacker_DND this is giving me a headache

00:12 Francesca @bartender pianohacker_DND
00:12 * huginn` fills a pint glass with Allagash 10th Anniversary Ale, and sends it sliding down the bar to pianohacker_DND (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/4/24209/)
00:12 dcook Nothing like finding an infinite loop which has been running for 10 days..
00:12 dcook And progressively negatively impacting server performance :D
00:13 Francesca just the thought makes me want to vanish
00:13 dcook It's why they pay me some bucks :p
00:13 * dcook is going to eat a cookie as a reward for fixing all the things
00:14 * Francesca sends dcook a virtual cookie for fixing all the things
00:14 dcook :)
00:15 dcook rangi: How would you do it without using ENV variables?
00:15 dcook Presuming I know what the conversation was about... I assume DSpace manages because it embeds the configuration code in the source code..
00:16 dcook Err... same directory that is
00:16 Francesca I think rangi is eating pizza
00:16 dcook Ah, fair enough
00:16 dcook I have other stuff to do anyway >_>
00:16 dcook Oh hey, I'm listening to music. When did that happen..
00:16 dcook You know your brain has been working too fast when..
00:19 wizzyrea hum, did we change it so that if the xslt loading fails it doesn't die with an ugly error
00:22 dcook Yeah I don't think it has an ugly error anymore
00:22 dcook I think it just doesn't really show anything
00:23 dcook Like... you'll get a list of 20 entries with nothing but star reviews or sutin
00:23 dcook Huh... this is totally the reason why I use "sutin": http://www.urbandictionary.com[…]ne.php?term=Sutin
00:29 wizzyrea yeah, that's what I'm seeing
00:29 wizzyrea I wish the errors in the log were a squidge more verbose :P
00:29 * dcook likes verbosity
00:30 pianohacker_DND dcook: the planned workaround that I'm going to slap together will use HTTP request headers set in the apache conf
00:30 dcook pianohacker_DND: Admittedly, I don't even know entirely what we're talking about. What data are you trying to send?
00:32 pianohacker_DND dcook: so, you know how you can use SetEnv MEMCACHED_SERVERS, OVERRIDE_SYSPREF_*, OPAC_LIMIT_OVERRIDE, etc. to override settings per-virtualhost with a shared koha-conf.xml?
00:33 gandalf https://youtu.be/JWPGdAdbyxY
00:34 dcook pianohacker_DND: Yep
00:34 pianohacker_DND dcook: that doesn't and likely can't work in Plack
00:34 dcook Interesting
00:34 wahanui i think Interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
00:34 wizzyrea \o/ awesome gandalf
00:35 dcook I guess because Apache is just the reverse proxy..
00:35 pianohacker_DND yup
00:35 pianohacker_DND exactly
00:35 dcook How does it manage with KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB?
00:35 dcook Or are those values stored elsewhere with Plack?
00:35 pianohacker_DND any environment variables set when the plack server is launched will be kept
00:35 pianohacker_DND so yeah
00:36 dcook ?
00:36 dcook So they're just exported before starting up the plack server?
00:36 pianohacker_DND dcook: yeah
00:36 pianohacker_DND the package plack scripts take care of that
00:36 dcook I have wondered how that works for multiple sites..
00:36 dcook Ahh, darned package scripts :p
00:36 dcook I think I'm doomed to forever be around the curve not using Debian-based OSes for Koha
00:36 pianohacker_DND and that still works for multiple instances because it starts a plack server for each one
00:37 dcook I figured it must but I was curious
00:37 dcook That must be pretty memory intensive I would guess
00:37 dcook Depending on how many instances you have on your serverf
00:37 dcook server*
00:37 pianohacker_DND *shrug* no idea
00:37 * dcook was thinking about this while waiting for a traffic light the other day
00:37 pianohacker_DND but regardless, none of this allows the virtualhost-specific settings...
00:37 dcook I guess it depends on what Plack loads when starting up
00:37 dcook Right
00:38 pianohacker_DND so we're thinking of a hack using RequestHeader in place of SetEnv (and a patch to make Koha respect that)
00:38 dcook Why not move them to the same place as KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB?
00:38 dcook I guess that's a bit tougher as it's more individualized
00:38 dcook Less predictable..
00:38 dcook For the package scripts
00:39 * dcook understands rangi's point now
00:39 wizzyrea pianohacker_DND: papa was looking at that
00:39 pianohacker_DND oh?
00:39 wizzyrea yeah, I don't know where he got to, actually.
00:39 * pianohacker_DND looks at papa
00:40 wizzyrea dcook - it'd be a pain but worth it to switch to debian :P
00:40 pianohacker_DND dcook: it's not even a package script issue. If you have two virtualhosts on the same koha instance and you want different CSS for each one, they need different values for OPAC_CSS_OVERRIDE
00:41 * pianohacker_DND needs a break
00:41 pianohacker_DND night all
00:41 wahanui goodnight pianohacker_DND. You'll be back.
01:06 dcook I can't believe I've never done "man man" before
01:07 dcook @later tell pianohacker I just meant that I don't have access to the Debian Koha package scripts on openSUSE :P
01:07 huginn` dcook: The operation succeeded.
01:07 dcook wizzyrea: Yeah, I really should advocate a switch to Debian one day..
01:07 dcook Also, who knew that "man 2 syslog" was the way to get the 2nd section?
01:07 dcook I've always wanted to do "man syslog 2" or "man syslog(2)" or "man syslog (2)"
01:07 dcook "man man", man

02:19 wizzyrea dcook it's a real shame there's no 'man babies'
02:19 wizzyrea hm. that was unintentionally funny in like 4 different ways.
02:20 dcook hehe
02:20 dcook I feel like I want to giggle in 4 different ways
02:23 dcook I feel like I was doing something a moment ago..
02:27 wizzyrea you were. I distracted you, I'm sorry.
02:27 dcook man babies... hehe
02:34 wizzyrea hehe
02:44 dcook This is the week from hell
02:45 dcook Server crashes on Monday, DNS crash right now..

05:03 reza joined #koha
05:07 reza I used sudo koha-list --enabled to gt the koha instance
05:07 reza but it's not returning anything
05:16 mtj reza: perhaps its not enabled?
05:17 mtj if you have a problem with that instance... just make a new one :)
05:18 mtj ..then dump/load the database into your new koha
05:20 reza how can i find out what is the instance of running koha
05:20 reza cos koha is up and running
05:21 mtj koha-list
05:21 mtj koha-list --enabled
05:21 reza returning nothing
05:22 mtj well... thats a problem hey
05:22 mtj koha-create --create-db koha1
05:22 reza i have to say this is a new upgraded koha
05:23 mtj make a new koha instance, then load your db into that
05:24 reza it's on production
05:25 reza does it make a downtime?
05:25 mtj yes, will take you a few hours to work thru the process
05:25 reza any instruction ?
05:26 mtj ...as its your 1st time, and you will be careful :)
05:26 reza yeah :D ,
05:29 mtj reza: run this command after you load your old db into your new koha...
05:29 mtj koha-upgrade-schema mykoha101
05:30 mtj ..its the command-line version of the 'web upgrade' process
05:32 mtj https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pub[…]nuary/038307.html
05:32 reza mtj: thank  you :)
05:32 mtj ^ ..thats a good email, with instructions
05:33 mtj 5. sudo koha-mysql library  < backedup.sql
05:33 mtj 6. sudo koha-upgrade-schema library
05:34 mtj then...
05:34 mtj 7. sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f library
05:35 mtj all finished :0)
05:35 reza another question is when i install a new koha besides the koha-conf.xml is there any other file that store the necessary information?
05:37 reza in case if I install a fresh koha and just point it to a DB?

22:32 pastebot Someone at 127.0.0.1 pasted "cait, bag: sysprefs.sql out of sync" (123 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/272
22:33 pianohacker some of these are intentional, but not most
22:34 bag hmm wanna send up a patch to get them in sync pianohacker ?
22:34 pianohacker I can, but probably won't be able to for a bit. Backlog of other stuff
22:35 cait some of those look suspiciuos
22:35 cait HoldsInNoIssuesCharge?
22:36 cait hm
22:36 cait yeah a patch would be good
22:37 bag yeah pianohacker understood - I know making elk stew definitely gets in the way

22:51 cait but not when it's late :)
22:51 pianohacker cait: You'll have a patch to look at soon ;)
22:51 cait there is another spot you might want to change
22:51 pianohacker bag: in the pavlova?
22:51 bag well I know you shouldn’t use friends
22:51 pianohacker pfft
22:52 cait if this is a similar problem than we have
22:52 pianohacker cait: kk. Poke me, definitely :)
22:52 cait for us we use branchemail with a bsz service address
22:52 cait because hosting... and spam... and it's too complicated
22:53 cait wonder if it's similar for you
22:54 pianohacker cait: I think we're in exactly the same situation, that's the motivation for this
22:54 cait it causes a problem for overdues
22:54 cait and another notice
22:54 cait but i don't remember now - i fixed it on our branch
22:54 cait so i need to go and look it up monday probably :)
22:54 cait it might be nice to have a general setting
22:55 cait on what the 'branch' email is of the three
22:55 cait one thing that also comes to mind is the emial address shown on the error mages
22:55 cait error pages
22:55 cait we are using branchemai in a lot of places - i remember i fixed that one with jquery, but overdues and another i had to patch
22:56 pianohacker yeah, some which make sense and some which don't
22:56 pianohacker very overloaded
22:56 pianohacker This patch will probably just fix overdues, as it's kind of urgent, but I'll try to lay the Koha:: groundwork to make the rest easy
22:57 cait maybe.. the problem is basically that the library email ends up in reply-to... and you don't want people to write to the one in branch email
