and i tried to simply open the mainpage.pl files directly with mozilla. Mozilla then asks me which program it should use to open the .pl file... [...] I use debian 3.1 sarge, [...]

I can't remember whether it's the case on sarge, but some debian apache2 packages did not enable CGI by default. Check for /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgi.conf and cgi.load Another possibility is a suExec problem: check the main /var/log/apache*/error.log after a restart to see if you're using suexec.

The Mozilla asking what to open .pl with means that Apache is not running the CGI script for some reason. (I guess we should not keep .pl under DocumentRoot in general, but it was useful sometimes.) Find that reason and you can fix your koha.

Hope that helps, -- MJ Ray - personal email, see http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Work: http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ irc.oftc.net/slef Jabber/SIP ask

Ok, meanwhile i've fixed it, i hope. I've made a new linux-installation (-this solution very likely only works at home...-) , then, when installing koha, i chose the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file, not the httpd.conf. Opened the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and inserted: Include /etc/koha-httpd.conf right under the already existing line that says Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf and then into the /etc/apache2/ports.conf I inserted Listen 8080 Listen 80 hope I'm not boring you ;-), I'm sure somewhere in the documentation these actions are precisely described, but maybe this is of help to someone, someday.
