[Isis-users] Z3950 not working on ABCD2.2 - Linux and Windows 10

Thu Sep 2 13:56:31 CEST 2021

Renate,

installing yaz in e.g. PHP7.4 is - as usual with yaz, since it is not a default package with PHP - a bit tricky, and there are several ways to do so, most of them not working out-of-the-box, also typically 😉 E.g. using

sudo pecl install yaz

as can be found in instructions online didn't work for me due to all kinds of missing files or errors.

Here is what I did :

1. Add the following lines in your sources.d list (or create a file e.g. yaz.list in that directory) :
    deb https://ftp.indexdata.com/ubuntu focal main
    deb-src https://ftp.indexdata.com/ubuntu focal main
[this will add the repo of the maintainer of php-yaz indexdata to your installation, in principle also guaranteeing following up for future releases]
A one-time-only effort also is to add a key for that repo from your home-directory :
   wget https://ftp.indexdata.com/debian/indexdata.asc
   sudo apt-key add indexdata.asc

2. run the command
   sudo apt-get install php7.4-yaz
and this command should install all necessary files.

3. add in php.ini of your PHP7.x installation (in /etc/php) :
   extension=yaz

4. restart apache with

   sudo service apache2 restart

In my case it added the yaz-module into my PHP7.4 info.php :

[cid:26e4536c-3fbd-4cb5-b4e5-8d1cb6534bc5]

[cid:e88df78c-02c9-42d8-a638-aaa84c5c2fe1]

I tested this successfully on the current GitHub repo-version of ABCD2.2 .

Hope it helps !
We will add such instructions in the final distribution.

Egbert,
I copied the missing files - there were more.
I am sending you the output of info.php as a docx file. Hope it will reach you.
Yaz is not listed. So, the problem is with yaz, as you are saying.
I tested on the https:/abcd.namscience.com site, and it is also not working. The same problem.

Thanks for your help,
About the new OPAC on the above server - I sent a message to Guilda 2x. The first response from Guilda said it could be the css file, and she would look into it.
I do not understand that it is working on my own laptop.

The sending of email from the IAH OPAC does not work. Sendmail is installed and I can send from the command line. I do not know what mail server it needs?
Regards
Renate

Hi,

the file inc_div-helper.php, which is reported missing, is present in my copy of ABCD2.2 in the common-subdirectory of htdocs/central - which is a copy of the GitHub-repo online, please check for it yourself.

The (only) other real problem is that your error-messages indicate that the necessary yaz-scripts, providing the function 'yaz_connect()' cannot be found, indicating that the php-yaz libraries are not installed properly. Do you see it in the info.php script result-page ?

Make sure it is installed in the PHP-version you are currently running, when using several versions (e.g. PHP7.2 and 7.4) it should be separately installed in both.

Hi,

I wanted to use Z3950 searching and downloading on ABCD 2.2 today. But I get the following message

[Wed Sep 01 08:20:02.923349 2021] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 11667] [client 127.0.0.1:55116] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning:  include(../common/inc_div-helper.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/ABCD2.2/www/htdocs/central/dataentry/z3950-01.php on line 160PHP message: PHP Warning:  include(): Failed opening '../common/inc_div-helper.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /opt/ABCD2.2/www/htdocs/central/dataentry/z3950-01.php on line 160PHP message: PHP Notice:  Undefined index: z3950_server in /opt/ABCD2.2/www/htdocs/central/dataentry/z3950-01.php on line 163PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function yaz_connect() in /opt/ABCD2.2/www/htdocs/central/dataentry/z3950-01.php:249\nStack trace:\n#0 {main}\n  thrown in /opt/ABCD2.2/www/htdocs/central/dataentry/z3950-01.php on line 249', referer:

php-yaz is installed in Linux and Windows 10.

I tested it on an old ABCD1.5 installation, and there it is ok.
Will it be fixed at some time?
Thanks
