Hi Everyone, " And stop telling people to disable the default site to make it work. It's bad practice" Might I recommend that someone with experience in this area take a look at submitting an edit at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages to include both Robin's concerns about disabling the default site, and expanding on the alternate way of solving the default "It Works!" page issue? I had no idea this issue could be fixed in the way suggested below. I rely on this Wiki page to get me through the installation process when I'm tinkering, as I'm sure may others do too. I think what's perhaps come out of this thread is that this Wiki install guide needs some attention by an expert. ;D FWIW. Best to all, Craig Butosi, MA, MLIS, B Mus (Hons.)

Greetings, This is why I much prefer looking at the Wiki, because the warning is more ominous and fear inducing. "Disable Default Site If you are running Drupal or any other web service on the same machine, do not disable the default site! If you are unsure, do not disable the default site! When in doubt, always talk with your system administrator, network administrator, or IT Department. The following is intentionally not boxed to prevent problems arising from improperly disabling the default site. If and only if Koha is the only thing on this server, then feel free to run this to disable the default site: sudo a2dissite 000-default" Additionally, given people's laziness leading to just cut and past the boxes in, this command is generally overlooked. This is written for the librarian with no linux experience trying an Ubuntu install. The problem is the Ubuntu pages give a little more detail than the Debian in terms of intermediate steps, but approach it from the "Oh shoot, this person knows nothing about networking or apache configuration". The Debian pages assume a higher level of networking and apache configuration understanding than that, last I checked. As for the INSTALL file, that update was way better than the previous version. :P GPML, Mark Tompsett -----Original Message----- From: MJ Ray Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 7:11 AM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Installed new server can no longer access KOHA.

I have installed a new server with Ubuntu 14.04. Though I did the install of KOHA correctly. But now when I internet to the server I get the apache page and not the KOHA pages. Do need so help, but do not even know what to begin to ask the right questions.

There is probably some other apache site configured with a higher priority than Koha. This is a choice you or Ubuntu made with your Apache configuration.
