Hi, I have installed Koha 2.2.9 on Windows XP. Now, I am trying to login to Koha as admin using the below link http://www.mykoha.org:8080 or http://www.mykoha.org:8080/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl But I am getting the below error message: ************************************************************************* The connection has timed out The server at www.mykoha.org is taking too long to respond. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

Ajesh, This looks like a DNS issue to me. Can you ping mykoha.org? If not then you probably don't have this name pointing to the IP address of the server. However, I would encourage you to abandon the idea of using Koha 2.2.9 on Windows, and install the latest stable release on Linux (or wait a few days and install version 3.4 when it is released). I don't believe the 2.2.x branch is being updated in any way. To keep up with bug fixes and enhancements, you really want to be on the version the Koha community is contributing to. If this is a test box you are setting up then you could download the latest stable release now - version 3.2.7 available at http://download.koha-community.org/ , then update to the 3.4 release later after you are comfortable with Koha on Linux.

That's a bad idea to start with. That version of Koha is woefully out of date. 3.4 comes out tomorrow though.

Do you own www.mykoha.org? (/me looks) ... it appears to be parked by a hosting company. So, as you don't own, or at least haven't configured the domain name, there's no chance of it working unless you've done some DNS stuff on your network. And as a rule of thumb, replacing real hostnames with local versions is a bad idea. I would look here for installation and configuration information: http://wiki.koha- community.org/wiki/Setting_Up_Koha_in_Virtual_Environment_%2B_Using_That_as_a_Development_Environment#Step:_Install_Koha -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204
