[Koha-devel] updated patches for CVS installer

[Ambrose Li]

Hi,

I have worked on the installer for a few hours. I think this
mostly works (see notes below). I have done several tests
installs (clean installs) with this; it seems to be mostly ok.

The Install.pm is derived from the 1.2.3RC23 version, but it
is not the same. I've done some modifications; the 1.2.3RC23
Install.pm can't be used in place of this one. (If you want
to check what's changed, you can diff this Install.pm against
the one from 1.2.3RC23.)

Now the problems:

1. Trying to install the sample data gives

   ERROR 1136 at line 2011: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

   I don't have any idea which SQL statement caused this error,
   or what impact this error has.

2. About the failures trying to go to ItemTypes or categories
   parameter setup, I found the following in my web server log:

   DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 'flags' in 'field list' at 
/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Auth.pm line 352.
   DBD::mysql::st fetchrow failed: fetch() without execute() at 
/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Auth.pm line 353.

   So, it is a different bug (new bug) than Bug 132, probably
   due to a change in the database structure without a
   corresponding update to the updater scripts.

The kohareporter script has disappeared from CVS. I have added a
check in installer.pl to not ask the question unless the script
is there.

Except for the test installs and quick looks at the intranet
interface after the installation, I haven't done a lot of
testing with this.

I believe this should cover bugs 126, 138, 146, 152, and 153.

Got to sleep now :-)
