At last I could fix it! :) For future reference, i'll explain what the problem was, maybe it'll help someone someday I had two problems: for some reason, in the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/koha the part referring to the OPAC was completely empty. I was lucky to have another koha installed in another computer, so I just copied it and adapted it, changing the ip, serveradmin, documentroot... etc. this is the part I copied: ## OPAC <VirtualHost *:8081> ServerAdmin webmaster@koha-builder DocumentRoot /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs ServerName koha-builder # ServerAlias opac.mydomain.com ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/" ScriptAlias /index.html "/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-main.pl" ScriptAlias /opac-search.pl "/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-search.pl" ScriptAlias /search "/usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-search.pl" ErrorLog /var/log/koha/koha-opac-error_log # TransferLog /var/log/koha/koha-opac-access_log SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml" SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/share/koha/lib" <IfModule mod_gzip.c> mod_gzip_on yes mod_gzip_dechunk yes mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No mod_gzip_can_negotiate yes mod_gzip_update_static No mod_gzip_temp_dir /tmp mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 512 mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 1000000 mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 1000000 mod_gzip_handle_methods GET POST mod_gzip_item_exclude reqheader "User-Agent: .*Mozilla/4\..*\[" mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.* mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader Content-Type:image/* mod_gzip_item_include file \.js$ mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$ mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/html$ mod_gzip_item_include file \.css$ mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/css$ </IfModule> <IfModule mod_deflate.c> # Compress content with type html, text, and css, ...

Thanks to Olugbenga Adara I learned that the document root for the OPAC is usually /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs after fixing that, I restarted apache with /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and there it was! thanks to everybody for your help :) -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/I-can-access-de-staff-client-but-not-the-O...
