13:49 jcamins Look in /var/spool/koha/library. 13:49 jcamins If the backups are there, use those. 13:50 koyauni no last time was exactly the same thing, bloody Plesk did auto update and wipped files so appache had isntuction to buidl them but coud not find them, so I installed Koha again and that solved issue 13:50 jcamins logs? 13:50 wahanui hmmm... logs is http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/ 13:51 jcamins ^^ if you look in there you should be able to find the instructions from when we did this last time. 13:52 koyauni I see the back ups in spool and I did created one today by mysqldump -u koha_library -p koha_library > myKohaLibrary.sql 13:53 jcamins Good, that should be everything you need. 13:53 koyauni and it has created that, I guess I have to reinstalll Koha now, Sorry would you please tell me where I find koha-dump 13:54 gerundio kf, back from lunch 13:54 koyauni so I can install that for next time 13:54 jcamins It's part of the Koha package. 13:54 koyauni so I just install it, 13:54 jcamins Right. 13:54 koyauni or it should already be on my system 13:54 gerundio just saw your answer to my earlier question regarding the LDAP authentication method and a password being cyphered and stored in the DB 13:54 jcamins This is, of course, a perfect example to why everyone told you not to use Plesk. 13:55 koyauni I have not, this is server hosting pack we bough an dit was on it, 13:55 gerundio thanks for the reply 13:56 koyauni so we have many sites, and now all of them are not accessible, since Apache is not reposnding 13:56 gerundio even though it's not clear to me why there's need to store the user pass on the DB when we're dealing with LDAP auth 13:57 jcamins gerundio: there's a patch to disable that. 13:58 gerundio now we're talking jcamins :) 13:58 gerundio can you point me to it?

You should learn to troubleshoot these problems, since you're going to have them every two months until you stop using the server. 14:20 koyauni I just disabled any out installation in Plesk 14:21 gerundio since it only gets stored after the 1st update (2nd login) I have a mix set of meaningful and stub password hashes stored in the DB 14:21 koyauni well I had configured that library.koyauniversity.org be my main domain and now it is not accessable 14:21 gerundio I think I'll just overide the meaningful ones with the stub one too 14:21 koyauni I guess the rebuilding of that config has been lost as well 14:22 libsysguy my issue was wiht password changes 14:22 jcamins koyauni: perhaps you need to run `koha-upgrade-schema library` 14:22 gerundio so when a user changed his password he could login with 2 different passwords? 14:23 libsysguy for the first time 14:23 libsysguy until it gets updated 14:23 gerundio btw, the admin user doesn't have any record in the burrowers table, right? 14:23 gerundio he just exists on the koha-conf.xml file, correct? 14:23 libsysguy correct 14:23 jcamins koyauni: however, I would like to point out again the benefits of reading the documentation and learning how the software works, if you intend to run Koha without paying anyone for support. 14:24 gerundio so it's safe to preform a blind update on the burrowers table password field, right? 14:24 koyauni even my main domain is not reachable http://koyauniversity.org/ but library.koyauniversity.org:8080 works 14:24 koyauni do I need to run this maybe /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all 14:25 jcamins No idea. 14:25 jcamins You're using Plack. 14:25 jcamins Seems probable. 14:25 jcamins However, I can't offer any more help, sorry. 14:25 koyauni you guys get paid via card, and we have no banking system in Iraq yet, all have been vanished with war, so people and bank does not work here 14:26 libsysguy gerundio well as safe as possibly destroying passwords in the db 14:26 jcamins That is unfortunate, but I do not like repeating myself. 14:28 koyauni the /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all did it and now it is working 14:28 jcamins I'm glad to hear that. Write down detailed notes, or save the chat logs, so that you can do this on February 2. 14:29 koyauni sorry, I wish we could hire an admin, but we do not have any, and as someone want to bring new way to education in Uni I have to do it myself the hard way, really sorry to bother you guys, 14:30 jcamins I am happy to answer questions.

16:09 * drojf goes to sit in a corner 16:09 jcamins gerundio: if you set a default, it will be automatically filled in whenever anyone opens a record that doesn't have that field populated. 16:10 gerundio I see that on new records 16:10 gerundio I expected it to happen too on imported ones 16:11 reiveune bye 16:11 jcamins If you set the default value for the framework the imported records will use, it'll get automatically populated when someone opens up those records, too. 16:18 gerundio jcamins, I'm looking at the Manage staged MARC records Batch 16:19 gerundio and the 100 field value is showing the default Koha value 16:21 gerundio a full catalog export, find and replace of the value of the field 100 on a MARC editor and full import could do the trick? 16:26 jcamins Should do, yes. 16:26 gerundio since this is still in pre-production environment maybe it's the best solution for this 16:27 gerundio jcamins, thanks again, you're always a great help :) 16:27 jcamins Depending how many records there are, it might be better to write a script, though. 16:28 gerundio somewhat around 60k records so far 16:28 jcamins Probably it would be faster to script it. 16:30 vfernandes gerundio I've submitted a bug fix for that problem bug 8347 16:30 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8347 enhancement, P1 - high, ---, vfernandes, Needs Signoff , Koha forces UNIMARC 100 field code language to 'fre' 16:30 gerundio hmmm, vfernandes nice 16:31 jcamins gerundio: oh, if it's the bug that vfernandes reported, I think it is impossible to fix without his patch. 16:31 gerundio because I was just about to say my colleague just told me that he edited one record and the value remained the same 16:31 gerundio so probably it's that bug vfernandes mentioned 16:31 gerundio I'm going to take a look 16:32 Joubu goodbye 16:32 vfernandes resolves two problems: the default language is fre when importing/editing biblio and the default value on the field 100 plugin is also fre... 16:32 vfernandes in koha 3.8.X you can't edit UNIMARC field 100 language 16:33 vfernandes if editing a record to change language to "por" it won't work 16:37 mib i wish to get a multiple branch libraries data into koha through marc records import. when i run stage marc records i am getting only single library data but my mrc file contains multiple branches along with their accession numbers 16:37 mib how to get all these libraries data into single koha installation where each branch has its own accession series 16:46 drojf mib: have you set up the branches in koha and do branch codes in koha and your marc file match?

We are experimenting with KOHA to see if we want to use it for our school library. We have put all of our patrons in and I have imported my records. However no holdings were imported. Is there an easy way to import the holdings all at once? 19:52 jcamins_away slc0274: it depends what format your holdings information is in. 19:52 jcamins_away Usually it's easiest to import the holdings information with the bib records. 19:52 jcamins_away Also, Koha is a name not an acronym. :) 19:52 slc0274 The file I imported was a CSV file that I exported from our current library system Winnebago Spectrum 19:53 slc0274 I exported everything at once records and holdings 19:53 jcamins_away In that case you should import the holdings as item records. It's just a matter of mapping Spectrum holdings information into Koha holdings information. 19:53 jcamins_away @marc 952 19:53 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_%289xx%29 19:53 huginn jcamins_away: unknown tag 952 19:54 jcamins_away That page on the wiki lists which subfields are used for what piece of information. 19:54 slc0274 so if it didn't automatically do it something is not right on the file I imported 19:55 slc0274 or not matching 19:55 cait slc0274: which version of koha are you using? 19:56 slc0274 3.8 19:56 jcamins_away Well, Koha doesn't understand Winnebago's format at all, so it's not that there was an error with the file so much as the file didn't have the information in the places it needed to go. 19:56 jcamins_away How did you convert your records to MARC? 19:56 slc0274 actually I was wrong it was a MARC file not a CSV file 19:56 slc0274 the patrons were a CSV file 19:59 jcamins_away Right, so you'll need to convert the holdings information that you got out of Winnebago Spectrum into Koha item reccords. 20:00 slc0274 Is there somewhere I can go to find out more about exactly how to do that? 20:00 slc0274 I have looked and looked 20:00 jcamins_away Probably Spectrum stuck the information somewhere in the 8xx or 9xx range, and you just have to move it. 20:00 jcamins_away You have two options for that sort of thing: MarcEdit, which has a graphical user interface, and command-line scripts. 20:00 jcamins_away migration toolbox? 20:00 wahanui i guess migration toolbox is https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/ 20:00 cait @marc 952 20:00 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_%289xx%29 20:00 huginn cait: unknown tag 952 20:00 jcamins_away ^^ that's where you would find the best command-line scripts. 20:01 jcamins_away At the migration toolbox link, not the holdings data link, which is of course where you find information about how Koha stores holdings data. :) 20:02 slc0274 Ok thank you for the information.
