12:34 jcamins_away libsysguy: you should start using an IRC proxy.
12:37 jcamins_away Or irssi+screen.
15:25 jcamins_away @later tell libsysguy You have got to do something about your IRC client. Either get an IRC proxy or *something*. It's been timing out every 15-30 minutes for the last 14 hours.
15:25 huginn       jcamins_away: The operation succeeded.

17:28 pierre_paris Hello everybody!
17:29 pierre_paris I have a problem with /migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl. I was wondering whether there would be anybody available to help me.
17:29 jcamins_away pierre_paris: I'm sort of here.
17:29 jcamins_away What's the problem?
17:29 wahanui      the problem is it's human beings doing it. Rebuild your indexes.
17:30 pierre_paris I am getting the follwing error message : DBI connect('dbname=koha;host=localhost;port=3306','kohaadmin',...) failed: Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 758 Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/sha
17:30 jcamins_away Sounds like you don't have your database credential configured correctly.
17:30 jcamins_away *credentials
17:31 pierre_paris I can login through the web interface and everything is fiel . I already imported a file and it was OK. The issue is when I switch to command line
17:32 jcamins_away In that case it sounds like you have your KOHA_CONF environment variable configured incorrectly.
17:32 pierre_paris OK, what should I do?
17:32 jcamins_away Step one is to locate your koha-conf.xml file.
17:33 jcamins_away It will probably be at /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml.
17:34 pierre_paris OK, I have opened it.
17:34 jcamins_away You don't need to open it. Just find it.
17:35 pierre_paris OK found it.
17:35 jcamins_away So if you know where it is, all you have to do is run `export KOHA_CONF=/path/to/koha-conf.xml` and then rerun bulkmarcimport.
17:35 jcamins_away (replacing /path/to with the actual path, of course)
17:38 pierre_paris OK, I just did this : export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml and ran again bulkmarcport : same error message
17:39 jcamins_away And you're sure that you're on the correct server?
17:40 jcamins_away I can think of no way for it to be possible for the web interface to work but the command line not work, if your environment variables are correct.
17:40 pierre_paris Yes, this my PC, there is nothing else (running Ubuntu lynx lucid)
17:40 jcamins_away And the web interface is working right this moment?
17:41 pierre_paris Yes, I just launched a search and it was OK.
17:41 jcamins_away You installed Koha using the tarball?
17:43 jcamins_away And what version of Koha?
17:43 pierre_paris I followed the instructions on : http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages
17:43 jcamins_away Oh, excellent!
17:43 pierre_paris SO I guess it was the latest available version (two days ago).
17:44 jcamins_away What was the path to koha-conf.xml?
17:44 jcamins_away The error message through me onto the wrong track.
17:44 jcamins_away *threw
17:45 pierre_paris The path is indeed : /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml.
17:45 jcamins_away Ah-ha.
17:45 jcamins_away That's the wrong file.
17:46 jcamins_away When you ran koha-create, what did you call your instance?
17:47 pierre_paris I left the default name : "library"
17:47 jcamins_away Okay.
17:47 jcamins_away So actually we want `export KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml`
17:47 jcamins_away However, that file may not be readable to your user.
17:48 jcamins_away In which case you will need to `sudo su - library-koha`
17:48 jcamins_away Then do the export command and bulkmarcimport command.
17:50 pierre_paris Thanks! It seems ti be running OK now. 1000 records already imported in a whiff...
17:50 jcamins_away Yay!
17:52 pierre_paris Than you very much indeed for your help, as a newbie I guess I might need you again in the future...
17:52 jcamins_away pierre_paris: welcome to #koha!
17:52 jcamins_away And you're very welcome.
17:53 jcamins_away We like helping. :)
17:53 pierre_paris Out of sheer curiosity, where are you located?
17:53 jcamins_away I'm in New York (city).
17:54 jcamins_away But there are people from all over the world on #koha.
17:54 pierre_paris S, Happy Xmas in advance, from the other side of the Pond!
17:54 jcamins_away (though a lot more people when it isn't the weekend, and a few more people when it isn't a holiday weekend)
17:54 jcamins_away :)
17:54 jcamins_away Thanks.
17:56 pierre_paris One last question : if I have records with 880 tags in Marc 21 (original script in Chinese etc.), is this content automaticaly indexed, or do I have to do something?
17:56 jcamins_away It is not indexed.
17:56 jcamins_away It is on my to-do list to make that happen, but my to-do list is several miles long, with no prospect of getting shorter.
17:57 jcamins_away It's a reasonably straightforward fix, but not necessarily easy.
17:57 pierre_paris OK, so is there a way to add a specific tag manually so as to have it indexed?
17:58 jcamins_away Not for 880.
17:58 jcamins_away In MARBI's wisdom, the tag number for 880 fields is stored in the data portion of the field.
17:59 pierre_paris Yes, but it could be put into an "anywhere" index, independently of the specific tag to which it is linked.
18:01 jcamins_away If an "Anywhere" index is good enough for you, you could edit /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs and add the line "melm 880 Note"
18:02 jcamins_away Then do a full reindex.
18:03 pierre_paris OK, I'll try this. I won't bother anymore for now. Congrats for a very good piece of sofware anyways! Bye.
18:03 jcamins_away Bye.
