Fwd: OPAC Page not available and login credentials don't work
From: Bedanta Borah <bedanta.mail.01@gmail.com> Date: Mon, May 28, 2018 at 10:42 AM Subject: OPAC Page not available and login credentials don't work To: koha-request@lists.katipo.co.nz Hello there. My name is Bedanta. I am currently using Virtualbox to install Koha on Ubuntu 18.04 and Koha liveDVD. I have faced problems in both installations. 1) In case of Ubuntu, I have installed Koha using instructions given in this page ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages ). The Staff Login page works fine and I can use all the library functions. But the OPAC Page doesn't appear. All that appears is the Apache home page. # Staff Client : 127.0.1.1:8080 or 127.0.0.1:8080 # Instead of OPAC Page, the apache home page appears in the these addresses : 127.0.1.1 or 127.0.0.1 Q) How can I manage to appear the OPAC Page? 2) In case of koha livedvd, all features were doing fine untill I updated the system and the koha-common packages. After the update, my root user and password (koha_library & koha123) stopped working. But I can login with another patron which I had created before the update was done. Why I loose database user access after updating the software? Q) How can I regain the database user access? Please help me with the above two queries. Thank you. Yours faithfully Bedanta Nagaon, Assam, India

I'm not sure if the following will help, but I did notice something that may be related in the release notes for 18.05 here: https://koha-community.org/koha-18-05-released/ Here is what they say about this issue: No more login with the database user It is no longer possible to use the database user to login into Koha. You should first create a superlibrarian patron and use it for logging in. [...] It is no longer possible to use the database user (defined in koha-conf.xml) to login into Koha. You should first create a superlibrarian patron and use it for logging in. See the script misc/devel/create_superlibrarian.pl This was discussed in this bug: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20489
After updating in Debian 9, OPAC is working smoothly. no issues. Sometimes, I wonder that kiya is easy to install in debian and many blogs are useful and directing well. Any windows user can install Koha just using copy paste in terminal from Vimal Kumar's Koha Geek, also bug fixing is possible. Then why we go for Live DVD.. Earlier, I tried live DVD (Koha on Ubuntu MATE) but I found bit slow on my machine compared to pure debian 9 +Koha. Others may have their openion. But my experience is that community is helping us (I am also new) Thanks Koha Community On Tue 29 May, 2018, 5:55 PM Mark Alexander, <marka@pobox.com> wrote:

As a community we have stopped supporting LiveDVD as a option for installation since around 2012-13. The moment you release a LiveDVD based system, it is already stale. In many cases LiveDVDs are custom forks with undocumented tweaks that make these a liability if the creator is not responsive enough. Cheers Indranil.
