Is it possible to access AACR2R card format by using most update version of Koha ?

Unfortunately I haven’t seen that error myself.

Since it seems related to permissions, it might help to review the page on installing Koha itself, especially “Configure Linux Permissions” and “Configure MySQL”, to confirm whether you went through all of the steps completely. You can find that page here (http://www.blazingmoon.org/news/2008/12/install-koha-on-ubuntu-part-4-koha/).

Also, I Googled your error message and at the top of the results were two discussion threads that seem to be about the same problem. You can find the threads here (http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Error-when-browsing-to-Koha-Admin-Page-td3063691.html#a3063691) and here (http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2010-February/022694.html).

Finally, if that doesn’t resolve the problem, I recommend signing up for the Koha Mailing List (http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha) and posting your question there if you haven’t already.

Best of luck.

Thank you very much for providing such a useful tutorial.

Unfortunately I faced the following problem as I tried to login in admin page:

Koha error

The following fatal error has occurred:

Could you please help me how to solve the poblem?

Thanks for noting that. I’ll look into it and may make an update. I do remember having more trouble with the SAX parser than any other part of the install. There might be some variation between Ubuntu installations for some reason.

Earlier today I did some work on a Koha database installed by a library who followed your instructions. There was a minor glitch — as it turns out, sax_parser_print.pl indicated that the wrong SAX parser was being used. To resolve the problem, it was necessary to update /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini, rather than (as your instructions state) /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini. I’m not sure whether that was just some local circumstance or a consequence of the instruction to install XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser from CPAN, but it may be worth a note in the instructions.

Excellent write-up, and beautifully presented! Thanks for the hard work, you made installing this software at least three headaches lighter.

Most of my experience with modules has been using CPAN. In the one case where I couldn’t get CPAN to work I installed the module manually. There’s an example of that process at the top of the “Perl Modules” page: http://www.blazingmoon.org/guides/k3-on-u810-6.html

I’m not at all a Linux expert, though, and there might be other ways. If those two methods don’t work you might want to try posting something in a Linux help forum.

You might also find more help on the Koha mailing list. Information on signing up for the list is at http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha.

Hi Andy,

Nice job. Congrats…

I’ve problem when installing Perl modules. Is it any other way to install all the modules without using the CPAN?

Thank You..

Andy:
Thanks for contacting me by email and I will give your suggestions a try.

I definitely take your warning to heart about having an expert in linux to help. Currently I am using this as my next step in introducing myself to linux. I’ve waited this long to get this far, I’m in no hurry to make mistakes. Thanks for your help and I’m sure I’ll be back to ask more.

By: Andy

Andy — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:14:00 +0000

Michelle,

Thanks, glad you like the tutorial. I’ll contact you by email for more detailed diagnostic questions.

One thing I do want to post for others to see, though, is advice on Linux expertise: I’d strongly advise against trying to go live with Koha until you have easy access to someone with a good bit of Linux/Unix experience. That’s less important when setting up a sample system to play with, but I wouldn’t want to go live without a good option for on-site technical support.

I installed ubuntu 9.10 and have tried to follow your EXCELLENT step by step tutorial. However, whenever I type the cd /build command, I get
bash: cd: build: No such file or directory

Any suggestions? I have wanted to try Koha for a very long time, but have very minimal linux experience so am hoping with your help and your tutorial I will be able to run a koha trial for my library.

Thank you

Sorry Ankit, I’m not sure what would cause that error. A quick Google turned up this thread with some possible solutions:

http://old.nabble.com/Koha-3.0-beta-on-Kubuntu-gutsy—%22production-mode—trapped-fatal-error%22-td17071451.html

You might want to consider posting your question to the Koha mailing list. The technical people who are most active in the Koha community regularly follow that list and suggest solutions to problems. You can sign up for the Koha mailing list here: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Buenas Tardes.
Felicitaciones por este excelente tutorial acerca de Koha.

El unico inconveniente que tuve fue con la instalación de Net::Z33950::ZOOM

Aparece error al ejecutar los test.

Usando cpan force install Net::Z33950::ZOOM se puede completar la instalación?.

Agradeceré su respuesta.

Good evening.
Congratulations on this excellent tutorial on Koha.

The only drawback was that I had to install Net:: Z33950: ZOOM

Error appears when running the test.

Using CPAN force install Net:: Z33950: ZOOM can complete the installation?.

I would appreciate your response.

This is one of the best step-by-step guides I’ve ever seen for anything. Following your guide I was able to install Koha on Ubuntu 8.04 without a single problem. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks for that tute. I did it on 8.04.2 (for the LTS) and everything worked. Well, like you I didn’t opt for Zebra.

Dear Andy,
Congrats you to wrote a very very useful Koha 3 installation for Ubuntu. My search for a nice Ubuntu-Koha documentation ends here.

Your documentation is helpful for us. We are plan to organize workshops on Koha and wish to install koha for some libraries in my city.

Thank you again,
