Triana: Here are a few things to try: --If you are using DNS, can you ping the server using the DNS address? --Can you access the staff interface using the IP address of the server? --On the server itself, assuming you have a windowing desktop installed, can you open the staff interface using localhost? -- Greg Lawson Network Administrator Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.

I am trying to install Koha on Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop, following the instructions from here http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages. However, when I try to access the administration website it will not open. I am using a dynamic dns. Is there anything I need to configure with apache2 to get my site running?

Greetings, What did you put in the /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf file? (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Pre-Web_Instal...) What does your /etc/hosts file contain? Are you trying to use the Ubuntu Desktop browser or are you trying to access it from another machine? The other email had some good ideas. The problem we have is determining WHERE the problem is: 1) Networking issue? -- glaws suggested a ping. $ ping {fully qualified domain name, e.g. www.koha-community.org} If you can't ping it, then you have a networking issue. 2) Apache issue? Is it even running? -- glaws suggested trying to go the IP address of the machine. The problem with this is that depending on your koha-sites.conf file, you may not be able to access the staff client because named hosts are assumed in these instructions. Can you get a page that says the system is down for maintenance at least? That's actually a good sign. 3) Some other issue? This is where I struggled with how much to write or not write in these instructions. Explaining how to fix /etc/apache2/ports.conf, /etc/apache2/sites-available/library (or whatever you called your OPAC), /etc/hosts, and these sorts of tweaks require a level of network and software administration that the novice linux user is not going to have. This is why I put important commands in the blue boxes. Reading around the blue boxes to make sure they are the ones to do is the only key part. If you follow these instructions without variation you will have a library.framisdooby.org and library-intra.framisdooby.org working. Though, they will not be accessible by another machine. Oh, and you can't dynamic dns to a 192.168.x.x address, because the dynamic dns site is external, and 192.168.x.x is an internal network address. GPML, Mark Tompsett
