We have this library http://library.mcst.edu.sa (Koha version 3.12.07). I'd like to install a copy of the library (same files + DB) on a virtual machine in order to make some tests because I don't want to make the tests on the production environment.
I don't have much experience in Ubuntu and koha. Could you please tell me how can I take a copy from that library, or guide me to any useful article or YouTube.
This is less of a Koha question and more of a P2V migration question. What you need is a P2V (physical to virtual) tool. Which tool and what exact approach will depend on your selected VM. A simple mysql backup and restore will not necessarily do the job. You need the Koha files. Again where these would be located will be based on your installation method (tarball or package) which we know nothing about so far. This is a non-trivial manoeuvre, with unexpected complications without proper planning. You might require expert help to achieve this, given that you mention not having a lot of experience on Ubuntu. hope that helps -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
