Reinstalling 2.2.9 went very smooth compared to 3.0, but when I type the koha address in the browser, the browser opens a window that says 'opening mainpage.pl You have chosen to open mainpage.pl which is a: PL file from: http://debian:8080
That's symptomatic of the Koha mainpage crashing before it sends anything, even the html headers. Apache or Iceweasel then guess what to do with .pl files and get it wrong. Check the error log...

So "Premature end of script headers" also suggests that it crashed before sending the html headers. Just before that "read_config_file(/etc/koha.conf) returned undef" suggests that /etc/koha.conf is unreadable for some reason. I'd check it.
