How to get dynamic IP for my koha server
Please does anyone have idea of how to get or issue dynamic IP address to a koha server running on Linux operating system. The server is configured but cannot be accessed within a local network because of the IP issue. Thanks. Cajetan Onyeneke Digital Librarian Imo State University, Owerri, Nigeria.

Hi Cajetan Do you mean a static IP, IE set one that doesn't change? Or did you really want one that is chaning (dynamic) ? Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand

Do you have a DHCP server set up on your network?

In that case, have a look at your /etc/network/interfaces file And if eth0 is the one you want to set comment out what is currently there for eth0 (change for eth1 etc if that makes sense) and add auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp (Do this from the console, because you dont want to lock yourself out) Then do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or sudo service networking restart Then if you look at ifconfig you should have received an address from the dhcp server Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand

Please how can I create a static IP address on my mikrotic router board 1100? Then apply the same IP address on my local server. I tried the steps given previously and typed ifconfig yet the IP address didn't show. Thanks. On Tuesday, 17 November 2015, Cajetan Onyeneke <cajetanonyeneke@gmail.com> wrote:

Anyone who would like to host KohaCon17 (international Koha conference to be held in 2017) should add some brief information about their proposal to the proposals summary table in the page on the Koha Wiki which I have prepared following the model used for previous KohaCons, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon17_Proposals . Please link your summary proposal to a more detailed proposal preferably in a new page on the Koha wiki or alternately hosted on your own webserver. If you have submitted a proposal for hosting KohaCon in the past but had not been selected, please submit a new proposal if you are interested in hosting KohaCon17. Do not be discouraged that some other proposal had been selected over yours in some previous year. People from the Philippenes had again submitted a KohaCon proposal before the general KohaCon17 page was created and I have now moved that merely tabular form content which had used the form of the general KohaCon proposals page to the newly created general KohaCon17 Proposals page. Such persistence of pursuing a KohaCon proposal should be encouraged. [In the interest of promoting regional diversity in Koha, we have sometimes considered rules against selecting KohaCon proposals from the same region successively in case the most populous regions might come to excessively dominate voting for selecting a proposal, but in practise such rules may not have yet been necessary.] Anyone should be free to add additional relevant information to proposal information in the wiki, such as links and information for local hotel or other accommodations, attractions, etc. We want whatever information may be helpful for linking to a community wide ballot for selecting a particular proposal. As with all wiki content, it should be easy enough to edit by examining the form in which pre-existing content has been entered, when editing to add your own content. If you want more information about MediaWiki tables, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables .

Dear Chris, Thanks for your advice. We have tried this "sudo/etc/init.d/networking start", but still the server cannot receive any IP from the Mikrotik Router Board 1100 AH. How else can we try to resolve this issue? On Tuesday, 17 November 2015, Chris Cormack <chrisc@catalyst.net.nz> wrote:

Greetings, The issue is networking configuration. If you followed Chris' recommendation on the Koha server machine, which I am assuming is different that your Mikrotik Router Board 1100 AH box, then the issue is most likely with configuring your Router (as I said before), not the Koha machine. As I don't have access to such hardware and don't know anything about it, the best I can recommend is to read the documentation: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Main_Page It will be like searching for a needle in a haystack, but you will gain an understanding on your networking environment which will help you on a forward basis.
