<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hello,<br><br>Though the short answer is YES, i'd like to caution you about the "ease" (or otherwise?) of getting Koha up and running with an ISP.<br><br>The keywords in your post that caught my eye are 'ISP' and 'administrative panel'. I had to wade through a swamp trying to get Koha up and running with a typical hosting provider, unless you have a lot of influence with what they will do for you.<br><br>The characteristics of such service are: you never really have complete discretion about what else you add/how you configure your server to run some "non-standard" software. By non-standard software, what i mean is Koha is not like some popular CMS (Joomla/Drupal) or like Mailman, etc. which most ISPs will support "click-and-install" through the same panels<br><br>Typically, you will not have direct access to your Apache's httpd.conf, and may be asked to use
one or more .htaccess files. You may face similar issues for Perl modules you need. In my experience, getting Perl pre-requisite modules installed was the biggest hurdle, and then getting Koha to recognize the paths to them.<br><br>Since i lacked the stamina to work through these issues, I then decided to go to a provider like slicehost.net which give you a 'slice', (a portion of a server that you have complete control over, using 'virtualization') and still costs very little.<br><br>For 25USD a month, i get as good as my own server, 256 MB memory, 10 GB space, complete root control, fantastic support, and 100GB bandwidth, which, IMHO is much much more than adequate for most generic needs and traffic. It then took me just a few hours to install and get Koha up and running.<br><br>i hope i haven't done a dis-service to you or Koha, but i am not the only one who thinks installing Koha is not very easy, AND i'd prefer you take the right route/ask the right
questions to whoever will install it for you, because in the end, Koha is really *WORTH* it, once its up and running.<br><br>Thanks and regards,<br>

Hello, Everybody.<br>
<br>
I'm new here. I live in Spain and my English is not the best ;-)<br>
<br>
One our our users, an ecologist non-profit-making association, has<br>
asked us to install Koha for them. We run a dedicated server, and host<br>
some hundred virtual sites. I have requested our ISP (DataPipe) to<br>
install Koha for us, as I do not have the necessary knowledge.<br>
DataPipe support team is not familiar with Koha, but can support it on<br>
a best effort basis moving forward.<br>
<br>
Can we run Koha on Apache/1.3.33 Redhat ; PHP Version 5.2.6?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>In theory, yes. Note that Koha uses Perl, and many CPAN modules (addons), rather than PHP.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Our server uses a control panel for hosting administration (easyAdmin,<br>
by DataPipe) that only works with Apache 1.3. The only way Apache 2.0<br>
can be installed on our server is in addition to 1.3, however it would<br>
have to run on a port other than 80. Would this be suitable for this<br>
software package?</blockquote><div><br>Yes, koha can run on any port, though it should also be able to run on Apache 1.3 .<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<br>
Thank you very much for your help.<br>
