Ok, I'm installing the current version of koha on a debian server. I have a DNS and have pointed it to the IP address. Installed Koha. I think. Ditto Apache. When I get to creating the name of the library: sudo koha-create --create-db libraryname and I create a name for the library, say MYLIB I get this error message: ---------- sudo: unable to resolve host dalkoha: Name or service not known AH00557: apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for dalkoha AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message AH00557: apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for dalkoha AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1.

Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured via the NAME_REGEX configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname' option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX. ----------- dalkoha is the "internal" name of my server (I'm using Linode to host the server, and I picked "dalkoha" as the name of my server). So why apache is looking for this in the first place I have no idea. I did edit the config file to replace the domain with my actual DNS -- so I am not sure why apache isn't looking for that. the 127 ... stuff is in the config file (I really don't know what it's doing there) but I did not see any instructions during the install that said to change this. So how do I get apache to "find" my actual web address? Should I just ditch all this and do an IP address install? Many thanks for any advice you can give. If this is so basic or obscure that there is no need to clutter the list with a list reply, just reply to me at the email below. -- David Dr. David Lesniaski Associate Professor MLIS Program St. Catherine University 2004 Randolph Ave. #4125 St. Paul, MN 55105 dalesnaski@stkate.edu he, him, his
