Debian 6.0.6 and Koha
Hello, I have attempted to follow the link: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.debi... I had all sorts of issues -- I had to reinstall Debian because somehow multiple "koha" folders were installed in the same directory! I did not know this was even possible -- but it is. I am not familar with Debian so please bare with me. Okay, so I got step one done (1.1 Install debian via Business Card CD). ------------- Is there anywhere else that has a more detailed explantion of how to set Koha up and run successfully? -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Debian-6-0-6-and-Koha-tp5735821.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Weird, not sure how you managed that. What I would do is install the Koha packages http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian Chris
How do I add /etc/apt/sources.list/*koha.list* Do I have to install koha before I attempt anything? -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Debian-6-0-6-and-Koha-tp5735821p5735834.ht... Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Greetings,
How do I add /etc/apt/sources.list/*koha.list*
echo deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list You should read http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian for further explanations.
Do I have to install koha before I attempt anything?
Attempt what? Adding the repository as shown above? No. In fact, adding the repository is one of the first steps to take. And when people are referring to the koha packages, they are generally referring to what is installed by: sudo apt-get install koha-common If you installed both koha and koha-common, that would be really messy and ugly. Installing koha-common is the recommended package to use. GPML, Mark Tompsett
Okay. looks like I'm in the correct direction. I just added koha.list to ect\apt\sources.list.d I opened the file and it includes: deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze is that correct? what step do I take next? Do I follow this: At the time of writing, you need to create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/indexdata.list containing the following: # Index Data deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian squeeze main deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian squeeze main and add their archive signing key to your system: $ wget -O- http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/indexdata.asc | sudo apt-key add - Finally, update your apt sources: $ sudo apt-get update I am so confused. There are so many references and they are all different. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Debian-6-0-6-and-Koha-tp5735821p5735872.ht...

No. There should be the word 'main' on the end. There is no such mention of that ftp.indexdata.dk step on the *current* version of the official instructions: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian I do not understand where you got it from. Follow only the current official instructions given on the link above, and there will be no confusion. There are many tutorials all over the internet, they are not necessarily current or correct.

Gotcha. I am at the step where I need to create the koha-conf file... getting this msg: "koha-sites.conf" "koha-sites.conf" E212: Can't open file for writing Press ENTER or type command to continue help! -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Debian-6-0-6-and-Koha-tp5735821p5735956.ht...

Greetings,
"koha-sites.conf" E212: Can't open file for writing
This generally means that you don't have permissions to write it where you expect it. I personally like vi, others prefer nano, emacs, or some other editor. If you are familiar with linux editors, feel free to substitute the editor name of your choice: sudo nano /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf And then just continue on with the instructions. I put nano, because it is the simplest editor for a person who is unfamiliar with linux editors. "sudo" is a command which will run the command with root permissions, so you can put the file anywhere you want. One should be very careful in using "sudo", as a mistyped command with "sudo" could have awful results. The reason it only said, "After install, edit /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf with details about your site," is because explaining editing to a person who has never used a linux text editor is a wiki page unto itself and beyond the scope of a Koha installation wiki page. Additionally, because of the typical editor wars which erupt, we don't really wish to force any particular editor on anyone. The focus is putting content into a file, not how you do it. Hope that helps. GPML, Mark Tompsett
I am having issues running a2enmod rewrite... it is asking me to run it. I clicked on a2enmod in the folder..but I am getting nothing. :( I went and attempted the mysql and now having problems with everything! user@userdom:/etc/koha$ sudo koha-create --create-db libary adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured via the NAME_REGEX configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname' option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Debian-6-0-6-and-Koha-tp5735821p5735974.ht...
