10:51 _hdl_  thd: hav a look at buildrelease in misc.
08:50 thd    hello osmoze
08:49 osmoze hello
07:42 thd    paul: What file controls how the directory structure for the installer is built?
06:43 thd    chris: otherwise, I have noticed some very old messages being reposted to the koha list during the past couple of weeks.
06:40 thd    chris: recent messages have been dated from 1970.
06:39 thd    chris: What is the system date on the koha list server?
04:53 thd    quubba: Seems like a bad loop where the should not be one.  Try another Koha install from version 2.2.3 without whatever the bug fixes in the latest 2.2.4 may have been.  2.2.4 is much better but I am unsure how to obtain a working copy from the first week or 3 that it was released.  There should be incremental numbering for bug fixes going into the current release which does not seem to happen.
04:44 quubba But, I'll try with some test scripts as soon as I have a bit more time. Will report if I come up with something.
04:43 quubba thd: OPAC isn't exactly slow, but there's this same problem with these forever-going http requests.
04:41 thd    quubba: Are both the administration interface and the OPAC slow?
04:40 thd    quubba: Running some test scripts using DBD::MySQL and/or HTML::Template would seem to be a good idea for testing.
04:38 quubba There was this problem when installing DBD::Mysql from CPAN that the mysql server already had root password and all the tests failed. So I force installed it.
04:36 quubba I tried, but after submitting it never loaded to the end and the record wasn't added.
04:34 thd    quubba: Had you loaded or created any records?
04:32 quubba Still slow.
04:31 thd    quubba: how is response time now?
04:30 quubba There wasn't any, but that final error message dropped out after I added a item type. That is, now it says OK to all.
04:29 thd    quubba: Just MAIN is fine or whatever you would prefer instead is fine for branches.
04:28 thd    quubba: What is the reported error from the list of checks run above the final message?
04:28 quubba The one defined in the installation ("MAIN" by default) should be enough (as branch)?
04:26 quubba Even though all tests say "OK".
04:26 quubba It says "You have 1 error(s) in your MARC configuration. Please fix them before using Koha"
04:26 thd    quubba: One of the initial post installation steps requires defining at least one library branch for System Administration : Branches and at least one item type for System Administration : Item Types.
04:23 quubba I think not. :) I mean, which are the needed values?
04:22 thd    quubba: does your Koha install pass the System Administration : MARC check OK?   Assuming you are using MARC Koha?
04:20 thd    quubba: Have you tried filling the needed values in system preferences?
04:19 quubba Yep, there's nothing which I could imageine could affect. A few failed select clauses in systempreferences.pl.
04:15 thd    quubba: have you checked both the Apache and Koha error logs?
04:14 thd    quubba: I have never tried running Koha on NetBSD.  Maybe DBD::MySQL or the HTML::Template did not compile correctly.
04:12 quubba But ok, maybe I'll try testing some other perl scripts using the same mysql server..
04:09 quubba Yesh. :)
04:09 thd    quubba: Very little is faster than NetBSD :)
04:08 quubba NetBSD 2.0.
04:08 thd    quubba: What OS and version is the server running?
04:07 quubba But the PHP scripts using the same Mysql server run normally.
04:07 quubba Others do run normally, althoug none of them are using for example DBD::Mysql or databases anyway.
04:04 quubba No, and the machines are on the same LAN.
04:04 thd    quubba: Do other Perl scripts for generating web pages run quickly?
04:02 thd    quubba:  Do you have some proxy server installed?
04:02 quubba thd: I've tried both Firefox and IE on a different machine. (on the same machine I'm able to try only with links... :)
04:01 thd    quubba: should be more than enough.
04:00 quubba thd: PII with 512 of megabytes RAM.
03:59 thd    quubba: What web browser are you using for a client and is that the same machine?
03:59 quubba It looks strange because when a page is loaded, the cpu usage of the perl script goes up but in most cases drops normally down again after a couple of seconds. But the process still goes on running.
03:58 thd    quubba: Not that it should be an issue really, but what is the RAM and processor speed of the machine where Koha and the webserver are running?
03:56 quubba thd: yup, 2.1
03:55 thd    quubba: What version of Apache also or are you using another web server?
03:55 quubba thd: 2.2.4.
03:53 thd    quubba: What version of Koha do you have?
03:51 quubba thd: With every page, but some seems to take even longer times to process, eg. addbiblio.pl.
03:30 thd    kados: good night
03:29 thd    kados: multiple publishers for different markets found in the same record do not display correctly for opac-detail.pl.
03:28 thd    kados: It would be better if opac-detail.pl used similar code instead of the Koha SQL tables for some of the other elements in the display, such as publisher.
03:26 thd    kados: I do not remember finding it.
03:26 kados  I"m sleepy now :-)
03:26 kados  I'll take a look in the morning
03:26 thd    kados: I had looked briefly for where that code was located when 2.2.4 first came out.
03:24 thd    kados: you need to make a correction for Paul's code to fix the subject subdivision problem for 2.2.4 to allow for the non-display of $2.
03:22 kados  right
03:21 thd    kados: It is neither expected or desirable to have the thesaurus displayed in the standard non-MARC OPAC display in the manner it does for your example records.
03:20 kados  hmmm
03:19 thd    s/combing/combining/
03:18 thd    kados: see also is only for combing indexes during search.
03:17 thd    kados: However, the practise in your case, may allow for combing headings from multiple thesauri in subject subdivisions.
03:15 thd    kados: That should be the usual usage even in the case of subject subdivisions.
03:15 thd    kados: Do you mean by strange that you were expecting $2 only once for the whole field.
03:13 thd    kados: There is a hidden/visible checkbox for subfields in the appropriate part of the biblio framework editor.
03:12 thd    kados: Paul's correction of the subject heading display in opac-detail.pl for 2.2.4 ignores the biblio framework, evidently.
03:10 kados  (strange that it comes out as 'sears -- somesubject'
03:10 kados  hmmm, I see ... but if I set it to be in the 'seealso' it should work right?
03:09 thd    kados: 2 has  not been set for display in the biblio framework for your example.
03:07 thd    kados: In the case of Sears, no indicator is provided, therefore, $2 is used instead to specify Sears.
03:05 thd    kados: The Library of Congress Subject Headings would only use 650 #1 where the 1 in the second indicator designates it as LC.
03:03 thd    kados: Sears subject headings do not have a place in the second indicator for specifying them as Sears
03:02 thd    kados: You have Sears subject headings in your example
03:01 thd    kados: you are still awake :)
02:55 kados  thd: still waiting for the answer :-)
02:39 thd    sorry kados, I fell asleep earlier.
23:01 kados  thd: please do
21:01 thd    quubba: Are you having problems with every possible page or just some in particular?
20:55 thd    kados: I can answer your subject questions
18:55 quubba Can someone give a good hint about what could be wrong when the perl scripts of my koha keep on running indefinitely even though the page itself has loaded in to the browser? Also, the pages are loading veeery slowly (if at all), and after I've browsed a few pages thru in the koha, I have a number of http requests still running in Apache.
17:53 owen   Isn't there a way to compare a string in mysql to concatenated fields?  SELECT id FROM table WHERE lastname+firstname  = 'LeonardOwen'   Something like that?
14:57 kados  I suspect that the default MARC view isn't displaying all the subject fields for some raeson
14:57 kados  the so there is some strangeness there ... also
14:56 kados  650$x: Data processing
14:56 kados  650$a: Small business
14:56 kados  650$x: Sistemas de Operacion de computadoras
14:56 kados  650$a: Computer operating systems
14:55 kados  but ... in the MARC view they are:
14:55 kados  Small business -- Data processing -- Sears --
14:55 kados  Computer operating systems -- Sears -- Sistemas de Operacion de computadoras
14:55 kados  Linux -- Sears
14:55 kados  paul: the subjects listed on the normal view are:
14:55 kados  paul: http://opactest.wlpl.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=12722
14:55 kados  paul: if you're still around ... I've a question about subject searching again
