Upgrade koha 3.4.0 to 3.4.1
/koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m #
locate koha-install-log
perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log
make
make test
make upgrade
sudo gedit /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
Koha 3.4.x or later no longer stores items in biblio records so if you are upgrading from an older version as part of the upgrade you will need to do the following two steps, they can take a long time (several hours) to complete for large databases
misc/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl --run
misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r
You can truncate session table before doing a backup command (mysqldump)
mysql -u<kohauser -p<password <koha-db-name -e 'TRUNCATE TABLE sessions'
