Not 10 minutes after sending this (below) I realised what I needed to do. Added a new line to my /etc/hosts file as follows: 192.168.1.136 testlib-intra.peredur.cym And bingo! I get the installation login. I think the installation instructions could perhaps be a bit more explicit about this. Is there any way for me to make a suggestion as to a modified paragraph at this stage in the installation procedure? I.e. to whom should I address the suggestion and the suggested text?

Merging all the replies I've managed to make some progress. Because my setup is going to be a private one for the LAN, I'm using my /etc/hosts file rather than DNS. So, I've now added the following line to my /etc/hosts file: 192.168.1.136 testlib.peredur.cym The library name is the one used in koha-create and the domain (peredur.cym) is the one set in my koha-sites.conf: DOMAIN=".peredur.cym" All the other values in that file have been left at their defaults. Now if I go to testlib.peredur.cym I get a message saying that Koha is undergoing maintenance, but if I go to testlib-intra.peredur.cym I still get the "server not found" error message. I imagine that this is because the subdomain has not been set up properly. Can anyone tell me how I can set this up properly for Koha? I'm on a brand new Debian 8 install with everything, including apache, set up using the defaults. Thanks again El 04/05/16 a las 03:45, Ketan Kulkarni escribió:
Dear Peter,
You can use ip address to access the koha server from LAN.
If you have set up an internal nameserver, you can use name containing your intranet's domain name.

Hi,
I'm a retired librarian interested in some local community library projects.
To this end I'm interested in being able to suggest Free/OSS library automation solutions to groups of people who may not normally think about using IT solutions because they either consider them to be too costly or too complicated.
So what I'm planning to do is to set up a demonstration system on a redundant desktop box I've got kicking about the house. This will be a local system (i.e. will not have contact to the wider network) and so far I've got as far as installing Debian and Koha (via the Debian packages). MySQL is also installed.
I do have a couple of questions, if I may.
Having got as far as I mention above, the documentation then talks about configuring the defaults. There appear to be two: DOMAIN and INTRASUFFIX. What would I set DOMAIN to, if I wanted other computers on the local network to connect to Koha. Presumably I could always use 'localhost' for connections from the server itself and the server's NAT address (192.168.x.x) from other boxes, or have I misunderstood? But a nice domain name would be more impressive and less scary to the people I have in mind, so how would I go about setting that?
And finally, what is INTRASUFFIX and what should I set it to? It means absolutely nothing to me.
Many thanks for any help.
