Koha install with other LAMP open-source applications
I currently have a LAMP stack, with Fedora Core 5. I am interested in installing Koha on this box for testing, but have various other open source applications installed on the same box (Moodle, Alfresco, phpBB, etc). Is it safe to install Koha on this box without it "taking over" the box? If so, what do I need to do in order to have Koha be accessible without taking the box over? Is it a simple configuration step in the http.conf file? --Josh -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Koha-install-with-other-LAMP-open-source-applications-...

Hello: My library is thinking of using KOHA sometimes in the near future and I would like to hear from those of you who are using it now about your cataloging experience with KOHA. I am especially interested in your experience of creating cataloging templates and also downloading records from OCLC. Thank you for your help.

I think the other applications you mention are PHP, while Koha is Perl, so even any Perl module installations/upgrades/changes needed shouldn't disturb those. As long as you are currently using Apache VirtualHosts, have a spare hostname or some spare ports available, and can make koha its own mysql database, I think it should be fine. Koha's installer writes a koha-httpd.conf that you Include into your main conf file. It is set for running on its own VirtualHost, though.

Yep, you're all right. I realized that when I installed to just put the listeners on other ports (I used 8005 and 8006 [instead of the default 80 and 8080]) and then modified the koha-http.conf for those 8005 and 8006 ports, then Include the koha-httpd.conf in the httpd.conf file as instructed, and everything worked perfectly. Thanks for the responses. --Josh MJ Ray-2 wrote:

The great thing about Linux is you are in total control so you can configure the system how you want. I have Koha, a wiki, a call control system and web filter all running on the same box without any problems. http.conf allows you to tie an application to a port to allow access. -- Regards Martin Woolley ICT Support Handsworth Grammar School Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna ************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
