Fac-Back OPAC on FreeBSD & with Innovative

[John]

Hello,

I found & downloaded Fac-Back OPAC after reading about it in
"Computers in Libraries." We're on a Millennium system, and looking
for options to our current OPAC interface.

I have things installed enough that I can index a MARC file of about
100,000 records and connect to port 8000 with a locally-running
Firefox, but I get the following 404:
= == === ==== ===== ==== === == =
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Using the URLconf defined in urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in
this order:

1. ^catalog/$
2. ^catalog/search/$
3. ^catalog/item/$
4. ^catalog/feed/atom/$
5. ^catalog/feed/rss/$

The current URL, /, didn't match any of these.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django
settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a
standard 404 page.

= == === ==== ===== ==== === == =

It looks to me like these attempted URLs are coming from views.py. Is
that right? Though I tried changing entries in that file, and the 404
message did not change.

Also, one important question: Is this so tightly connected to
SirsiDynix that I'm a fool to try to get it working with our Inno
system?

Thanks,
John

John,

 

Try browsing to http://127.0.0.1:8000/catalog or http://127.0.0.1:8000/catalog/

 

The urls that work are defined in the urls.py. The /catalog/ parts indicate the directories following the root folder of the web server.

 

Fac-bac-opac should work well with any ILS system that can export complete marc records. The important part is to edit your indexer config files properly. Make sure the bib_num field in indexes.properties points to the unique field for your marc records.

 

Good luck and post back if you have problems.

Mike
