#07:28:51natschilI tried to write an application in c that accesses opensrf, the config xml is pasted as is my connection function. Strangely enough, I can only access the public servers, even though I configured it to also access private ones.... does anyone know what I did wrong?

#09:20:09natschilif anyone has any suggestions to the problem mentioned earlier, please let me know.
#09:27:44mck9natschil: I just logged on, don't know what "problem mentioned earlier" is. Is it your question about iterating over a JSON_HASH?
#09:29:15natschilmck9: nope.

#09:30:12natschilsorry, I pasted the wrong thing by accident
#09:30:14natschil apologises for the unintentional flood.
#09:30:37natschilsomehow ctrl+c and ctrl + v wasn't working properly.
#09:30:45natschilwhat I meant to paste was: [14:27] <lisppaste3> natschil pasted "client connection problems" at http://paste.lisp.org/display/88466
#09:33:27mck9natschil: before I look at that, let me ask if you got past the JSON_HASH issue
#09:34:11natschilmck9: yes, I got past that. My internet connection closed yesterday, so I couldn't finish that discussion.
#09:42:33natschilsorry, I've got to go for a while, but I'll look at the logs if anyone has any suggestions.
#09:43:04mck9Okay so long -- but you probably know more about configs than I do

#11:59:44rickyjonesHello - I am building an Evergreen library system for a small local library. I have the server up, the staff client is connecting. How do you then add books to the library? I can't seem to find any documentation or links to do this. Thanks!

#12:23:21rickyjonesHello - I am building an Evergreen library system for a small local library. I have the server up, the staff client is connecting. How do you then add books to the library? I can't seem to find any documentation or links to do this. Thanks!
#12:29:07natschilrickyjones: you can, for example, import them via z39.50
#12:29:24natschilrickyjones: see the menus under "Cataloging" in the staff client.
#12:29:44rickyjonesnatschil: does that require the server to have internet access or just the staff client?
#12:29:57natschilrickyjones: I think the server.
#12:30:16natschilthough if either one has internet, and are connected by LAN it should be possible to get both to have internet.
#12:30:42rickyjonesthey both do, but I'm hoping to lock down the internet portion of the server for security reasons.
#12:30:56rickyjonesLet me re-enable the internet NIC and give this a go then.
#12:31:00rickyjonesThank you!
#12:31:03natschilrickyjones: once you've added a record to the catalogue, add copies by fetching the record, and under "Actions for this Record" do "Holdings Maintainance"
#12:31:13natschilrickyjones: don't you need the OPAC?
#12:32:14rickyjonesI'm running the server in VMWare with two NICs - one NIC is connected to the network, the other is a Host Only network card so that the client/admin station can browse the catalog and check in/out books.
#12:33:25natschilthat doesn't say anything to me, but I get the general picture... anyway, I think the server needs internet access for z39.50....you could probably lock down any other ports, or disable incoming requests etc..

#12:56:55natschilrickyjones: how is it going?
#13:01:20rickyjonesI think I'm getting items in from the LOC, but I'm having some issues with getting them assigned to my library.
#13:02:22rickyjonesI started off with the latest virtual image - so it already has some default libraries, which I modified to be my own. When I bring the item in and try to add copies of it to the library it is not showing my modified branch/subbranch/sublibrary info. It is showing the original info.
#13:02:27rickyjonesThink the server needs a reboot?
#13:04:02natschilrickyjones: sorry, I'm a little unclear as to what the issue is... have you run autogen.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -u after modifying the libraries?
#13:04:20rickyjonesno - was I supposed to?
#13:16:32natschilrickyjones: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server_installation
#13:16:45natschilrickyjones: btw, which installation are you using?
#13:23:02rickyjonesI'm using: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=virtual:virtualbox:lenny
#13:29:13natschilrickyjones: I don't know if that one works or not... anyway, 1.6 is about to come out, which is a lot better than 1.4, though I'm not the expert here...
#13:29:57natschilbut I really don't know.... I remember one of the 1.4 images didn't work, but I think it was the ubuntu one, not the lenny one so I'm not sure.
#13:30:04natschilbut yeah, run autogen.
#13:30:25rickyjonesk, I just ran it and rebooted to be on the safe side.
#13:32:16eguest has joined #evergreen
#13:32:25eguesthi guys
#13:32:30eguestquick question
#13:33:08eguestgot a small erro while running cd xml2 && make
#13:33:16eguestduring the installation of postgres sql
#13:33:40natschileguest: what system are you on?
#13:33:41eguesti goe this errror make: *** [xpath.o] Error 1
#13:33:45natschils/system/os/
#13:33:50natschileguest: anything else?
#13:33:53eguestany ideas
#13:34:00eguestubuntu hardy
#13:34:17eguestyeah le me paste the output of te make
#13:35:20natschileguest: what version of evergreen?
#13:36:08eguest1.4.0.6
#13:36:53lisppaste3eguest pasted "untitled" at http://paste.lisp.org/display/88475
#13:38:06natschileguest: you need to install libxml
#13:38:25eguesti see
#13:38:43eguestso aptitude install libxml should do it
#13:38:59natschileguest: I personally would recommend that you install postgresql-8.2 from the ubuntu repositories.
#13:40:30eguestwell i was following the cheat sheet
#13:40:42brendan_ga has joined #evergreen
#13:40:53eguestbut i was able to install it succesfully after installing a few dependendecies
#13:41:22natschileguest: is this a single server install?
#13:42:38eguestid dont get what single server means ?
#13:43:07natschileguest: are you installing the whole server on the same machine?
#13:43:31natschileguest: if so, see http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server_installation:debian_gentoo_ubuntu_prerequisites_makefile
#13:43:35eguestyes
#13:44:36natschilit should install all you need for installing evergreen, including postgresql in one go.
#13:47:48eguestokay
#13:48:06eguestDownload the Debian Etch and Gentoo prerequisites installer makefile for OpenSRF 0.9 / Evergreen 1.2. In a terminal window, run the following command (using the updated link, if applicable):
#13:48:32eguestthis line says the intalllation is for evergreen 1.2 but i am installing evergreen 1.4.0.6 or it will work
#13:53:19eguest i hwever ran aptitude show libxml2 and it states that its currently installed
#13:55:41natschileguest: As the installer only installs files *needed_by* evergreen, I don't think it makes a difference whether you're installing 1.4 or 1.2
#14:01:21eguestokay but i seem to reember reading somewehre that evergreen 1.4.0.6 and above work with opensrf 1.0.6 and above
#14:01:53eguestso i am thinking that maybe the differnet versionsmay need some differnet versions of opensrf .correct me if i am wrong
#14:02:17natschil
#14:02:22natschil
#14:04:25eguestokayt
#14:04:39eguesthmm...
#14:06:42eguesti have already installed postrgre 8.2 so do i run the makefile that installs the prerequistes and then continue from where i left off
#14:07:16atz has quit IRC
#14:07:19eguestthat is the 'cd xml2 and make '.that is the step i got to

#14:09:29natschileguest: you might also want to consider looking at http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server:1.6.0:install
#14:13:19eguestokay
