00:00 eythian oh, maybe if you specified a custom db...
00:00 I need to change that in the intructions, I think it risks creating more confusion.
00:01 ASUSunDevil hmm, I don't remember doing that, I mean I created the /etc/koha/passwd file, but that didn't have any custom database stuff in it...
00:01 BobB joined #koha
00:02 eythian yeah, you don't have to do that
00:02 The instructions make it seem like you do, but you don't
00:03 ASUSunDevil could it be that my user account (username is koha) doesn't have access to the mysql database?
00:04 eythian No
00:04 that's not how mysql works
00:05 ASUSunDevil hmm, playing around at first seems to have mucked up a bunch of stuff then, probably be easier if I just started over again...
00:05 now that know he process, I migh start over
00:05 eythian the problem is the password in the koha-conf.xml doesn't match the password that was used to create the database user.
00:06 ASUSunDevil oh
00:06 eythian I've updated the page about the password stuff to emphasise that it's optional
00:07 ASUSunDevil where does tha koha-conf.xml file live?
00:07 eythian The bit about the languages at the bottom will never work too, I need to give that whole thing a tidy up.
00:07 /etc/koha/sites/instancename/koha-conf.xml
00:09 ASUSunDevil so, if that file /etc/koha/passwd exists, does it force it in some way to use it? Or will it just ignore it?
00:11 eythian I'm not sure
00:11 I haven't looked at the code for it for ages
00:12 ah no, it lets you predefine your passwords.
00:13 so it only works if your instancename is defined in the password file
00:13 but it's only needed in some situations that aren't all that common
00:20 melia left #koha
00:27 ASUSunDevil hmm, ok, I just think my playing around initiall got some stuff all mucked up, so I think I'm gonna try a fresh system and go from there.

02:18 ASUSunDevil Eythian: I reinstalled ubuntu, installed koha-common, all worked fine. Still had the problem with the errors, and figured out that is had to do with the default user that was entered into the koha-site.conf.xml file. Did some mysql magic, changed some passwords in that mysql and make the .xml file match that user account and I was able to get to the admin site at: spllib.la.asu.edu:8080. I went
02:18 through the setup, all works fine, I am able to get into the management interface, now I need to get the opac site to load on port 80, but it's not working. How can I get the public side to show now?
02:19 jcamins_away sudo a2dissite default
02:21 ASUSunDevil excellent! that did it! thank you so much! Could there be some sort of bug in the installer that mucks up the user info that goes into that .xml file? I tried the koha-create several times, but it never worked right...then I started digging into the reason why and ended up being the mysql privileges it set in the xml file didn't match up with mysql...
02:22 eythian ASUSunDevil: it should just work
02:22 jcamins_away I've never had any problems before.
02:22 eythian but I haven't tried in ubuntu for a while
02:22 jcamins_away eythian: ah, true.
02:22 I haven't used 12.04.
02:25 ASUSunDevil I am using 12.04 lts server....not sure if it was something there or not, but that was the trick. Basically I went in to mysql, updated the username and password. Then I granted privileges on the database for that user. Then changed the info in the XML file and it allowed me to log into the management interface and do the rest of the setup...just an fyi...
02:25 jcamins_away ASUSunDevil: what was the password set to in MySQL?
02:26 ASUSunDevil you know, I really have no idea, the one in the xml file was some random password of upper and lower case letters. I just reset it to something that suited me, then changed it to match in the XML file. I tried setting privileges on the database to start, thinking that might have been it. Then did the password and that made it work.
02:27 jcamins_away Yeah, it was supposed to be random.
02:27 ASUSunDevil I'm wondering if there was some reason in 12.04 that the password didn't get set right...oh, another thing was that the host was set to "%", and I changed that to 'localhost' that was the only other change I made.
02:29 You know I can't be sure it was autoinstaller either, this is my first time installing koha this way, so it could have been me, but that is how I fixed it.
02:31 I want to thank ALL of you for helping me troubleshoot it though! You guys are great!
02:33 eythian np :)
02:33 ASUSunDevil Now comes the real fun, configuration and population! ;o)

09:02 kouider hi magnuse
09:03 vfernandes joined #koha
09:03 magnuse this is usually not the busiest time on #koha, but try asking your questions and if anyone feels they can answer, you'll get an answer :-)
09:04 kouider ok thanks maguse what the time to active this chat cus iam from north africa
09:05 magnuse kouider: there are usually more people around when the americans wake up, so in 3-4 hours or something
09:05 there are some people here now too, but it's usually more quiet at this time
09:05 kouider how i can login IRC chat of koha
09:06 magnuse um, you are already loged in here, i think?
09:06 kouider oh thank you brother magnuse
09:07 i have small q how i know my zebra index is working
09:08 magnuse kouider: the simple answer: when you get the search results you expect :-)
09:10 kouider: you could also run something like "ps aux | grep zebrasrv" on the command line
09:11 kouider ok on koha Searching preferences i have chose use the Zebra search engine
09:11 magnuse that's good, koha without zebra is deprecated
09:11 kouider are its right chose
09:11 to work zebra
09:12 magnuse yup, zebra is the right choice
09:12 are you having trouble getting search results?
09:13 kouider some times
09:16 whene i do this line  update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
09:16 i have insserv: warning: script 'koha-zebraqueue-daemon' missing LSB tags and overrides
09:24 paul_p joined #koha
09:26 slef kouider: I thought we fixed that ages ago. What version of koha are you using?
09:27 kouider i use debian 6.04 koha 3.8.1
09:27 slef oh wait
09:27 raju joined #koha
09:27 slef don't use koha-zebraqueue-daemon - I think I am right to say that.
09:28 It's deprecated/awaiting-repair
09:28 Use the crontab instead.
09:28 What told you to use koha-zebraqueue-daemon?
09:29 kouider any one
09:29 slef But maybe you can use it without harm, but yes, koha-zebraqueue-daemon is probably missing LSB details.  koha-zebra-daemon should not be.
09:29 raju Serial claim email notice not sending
09:29 kouider but i insall koha like install on ubuntu
09:29 slef raju: are you using the packages?
09:29 raju no
09:31 kouider what packages
09:31 wahanui hmmm... packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
09:31 slef raju: can the server send any emails?
09:31 raju some other mails are going except serial claim notice
09:31 kouider give the commends to knowing are zebra work or not
09:31 gaetan_B joined #koha
09:31 slef kouider: pgrep zebrasrv <-- that will show if the server is running
09:32 raju koha@opac://usr/share/koha/opac$ pgrep zebrasrv 1033 27449
09:33 kouider ok idont install Other packages on this wiki
09:33 slef raju: I think you should check if the serial claim notices are being generated. I can't remember exactly how to do that (probably a cron job and a table in the mysql database) and I do not have free time now.
09:34 raju yes its showing in log file
09:34 slef raju: it shows in the cron log entries? Does it show in the mail.log or exim4/mainlog?
09:34 time
09:35 kouider Is there a line I do in Terminal to find out that Zebra is working or not
09:35 slef kouider: pgrep zebrasrv <-- that will show if the server is running
09:37 raju 1033 27449
09:37 it shows 1033 27449
09:38 kouider give me 1613
09:40 what about 1613 its not work
09:40 raju its not showing 1613
09:41 kouider oh allah what i do to work zebra
09:43 help me
09:46 slef no
09:46 sorry
09:46 I mean
09:46 If you get any number, it means zebra is running
09:46 I don't mean I won't help you. I just have to work on other things too, to earn money to live.
09:46 So I am not fast here.
09:47 pgrep shows you the process number of that program
09:47 if you now type "ps 1613" kouider, you should see a line that says zebrasrv and some other things
09:47 or one that starts "daemon ..."
09:48 I would expect two numbers, like raju has.
09:49 If there is only one that starts daemon, it probably means zebrasrv is failing. Check log files to find the error.
09:50 raju ps 1613 : PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
09:51 kouider Thanks I hope a God to help you in all your business
09:55 slef raju: you would need to "ps 1033 27449" from what you said
09:55 more reliably, you can "ps $(pgrep zebrasrv)" and it will figure out the numbers itself
09:56 kouider yes its same 1613
09:56 1613 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/koh
09:57 raju Any solution: enable serial claim mail
09:58 kouider i insall all modules cpan
10:07 raju in Koha 3.6 claim mail is not sent for serial claim
