How to successfully upgrade from 3.8.x to 3.10.x

I installed Koha based on Ubuntu packages [http://tinyurl.com/btj4scm] and faced little difficult to install few dependencies for Koha 3.10.x. You can follow the steps to upgrade from 3.8.x to 3.10.x.These instructions not valid for installation from Koha tarball.

Open synaptic manager and disable koha repository

Synaptic Manager > Settings > Repositories > Other software

Uncheck the following repository

http://debian.koha-community.org/koha

Close dialog box and press Reload button.

Open Terminal and install following packages,

apt-get install libchi-driver-memcached-perl
apt-get install libdigest-jhash-perl

Again open Synaptic manager and enable koha repositories and reload.
I could not install libdata-paginator-perl from repository.
We can install from CPAN.

Open terminal and start CPAN apply the following command,

sudo cpan
install Data::Pagination


Two files inrelation with OPAC display located in wrong place.
We have to place the files in proper places. Otherwise OPAC look so scary.
Apply following commands in a terminal,


sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install koha-common
cd /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/css
mv reset-fonts-grids.css skin.css /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/lib/yui

These instructions are for upgrading from 3.8.x to 3.10.00. Display problem with OPAC will solve in coming versions.

    Many thanks! ;)

    Dear Vimal,

    After upgrade 3.8.6 to 3.10.2 I'm having itmes problem. When I'm searching catalog on user clinet or OPAC the list showing "No Items" message in Location place. You can see the image of the screen via this address: journal.dogus.edu.tr/temp/koha_no_items.bmp . On the other hand clicking the "edit item" link on the result list no itmes come. Do you have any suggestion?

      Liblime Koha is not Koha community supported.
      Stay with Official koha.
      You can ask the doubt in Liblime Koha forum.
