is definitely necessary if you're using the usual http port, otherwise you still get the default Apache "It works" page.
I don't think that it is necessary to do this, as it's all virtual hosting anyway. One of our Koha servers has a 000-default site on it still.
My setup (virgin Debian6 install from LiveCD + aptitude install koha-common, no fiddling other than the conf file I posted and ran the koha-create script) Without the -admin suffix my browser definitely brought up the "It's working" page from Apache. Running the " a2dissite 000-default" command - and not doing anything else then resulted in the koha maintenance notice showing up. If anyone truly doubts this isn't the way it goes I'd be willing to run through it again in a VM. . . I did qualify that (I assume) if you're using a different OPAC-port this wouldn't be an issue, but I imagine most people want that at the default. In my case I didn't want to mess with ports at all, as I prefer just using a different hostname for the OPAC, I would think most noobs would prefer the same. It is possible this all happened before I did the DNS/host file configuration, and was using localhost, but IMO it should work that way for someone doing a virgin setup, as far as they're concerned it's the only website on their installation. ----------- Another couple of points, admittedly minor - it isn't 100% clear that the .conf file needs to be created and then the koha-create script run, getting it's variable values from that file. I did figure it out of course but the "get the values needed from the create script" comment did throw me for a little while, as that's not commented either and there are a bunch of other variables at the top that *don't* get set by the conf. Also, populating the default SQL script probably shouldn't be there for a first-run example, or at least some information on what it's for and the fact that it should be empty for a fresh virgin install would be useful. All just IMO of course, whoever developed this functionality is to be commended and I'm very grateful. Just suggesting a couple of minor tweaks to make the process a little more noob-friendly. . .
