Regarding the "package supplied scripts", you can see the list here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages
It seems a shame to use the tarball when you're on Ubuntu though. What instructions did you use for installing the packages? It looks like you ran into the problem described here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Some_difficult ies_were_encountered_installing_apache2-mpm-itk. I recently ran into that problem myself when setting up Koha in Ubuntu 14.04 (although I was using the koha-deps and koha-perldeps packages rather than koha-common for a different kind of install). My suggestion would be to run the following: sudo apt-get install apache2 sudo a2dismod mpm_event sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork sudo service apache2 restart sudo apt-get install koha-common That way, you won't get those errors when you install " apache2-mpm-itk" as part of "koha-common" resolving its dependencies. If you don't like the idea of Koha automatically upgrading when new versions are released, you could also take a look at holding the package: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction_to_Holding_Packa ges David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St, Ultimo, NSW 2007 > -----Original Message----- > From: koha-devel-boun...@lists.koha-community.org [mailto:koha-devel- > boun...@lists.koha-community.org] On Behalf Of Paul A > Sent: Tuesday, 30 December 2014 8:45 AM > To: koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org > Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] 3.18 install [was: koha-common install] > > At 09:07 AM 12/30/2014 +1300, Chris Cormack wrote: > [snip] > >It is because you decided not to install using the packages, and > >instead used the tarball, so none of the package supplied scripts will > >be there > > Yup...
