There are a few things. The main thing was that as I thought I was instructed on at least one screen, I was looking in koha-conf.xml for a username and password not offered in that file. Given that I did not recognize that the administrative account for a library identified as "monastery" would be "koha_monastery" and the password was such as one would obtain by running koha-passwd, I spent a lot of time trying to log in. I think at least partway through I had two conflicting (possibly partial) installations. There may have been other things too, but I don't remember doing anything heroic to fix them. I think it was mostly a case of my barking up the wrong tree for credentials... On Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 10:49 AM, Jonathan Druart < jonathan.druart@bugs.koha-community.org> wrote:

Hi
I don't know the username for logging into the administrative interface, so
I looked to see what I could find in the database was empty.
You will find the password of the administrative user as follows:
$ INSTANZ="yourinstance" $ sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' /etc/koha/sites/$INSTANZ/koha-conf.xml && echo
The result will be some string like
e1ePP6qq5g7u40Ex
Thinking that
I must have munged something, I tried to create a new instance with another name. The new instance's database was also empty:
toolchest monk # koha-create --create-db monasterylibrary Koha instance is empty, no staff user created. Starting Zebra server for monasterylibrary * Starting Koha indexing daemon for monasterylibrary [ OK ]
toolchest monk # mysql -uroot -p
...
MariaDB [(none)]> use koha_monasterylibrary; Database changed MariaDB [koha_monasterylibrary]> show tables; Empty set (0.00 sec)
Is this intended?
Yes, the database will only be populated after you have gone through the steps of the webinstaller.
