Hi Vimal, Thanks for that link - I tried my best to follow the article, but I had no luck. If you have the time can you see if you can find my problem: I want to access the staff client from Ubuntu Koha on my Windows 7 laptop, so I take it I have to connect the two computers via a router (I have a spare for this purpose). I want to do this through the LAN not the Internet. WALK THROUGH OF STEPS FROM THE ARTICLE: 1) *sudo gedit /etc/hosts* Enter the IP Address and Fully Qualified Domain Name In the Terminal *$hostname --fqdn* gives ansa-desktop - I take it this is my Fully Qualified Domain Name. Can I arbitrarily choose an IP for this? Such as 192.168.1.10 ? Or does it have to be of a different form? I have the following in the original *hosts* file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ansa-dekstop Should I replace all of this text with: 192.168.1.10 ansa-desktop Or should I just append to the original file? FYI: when I did it, I replaced the original content with this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.10 ansa-dekstop 2) *sudo gedit /etc/hostname* Enter the hostname of your system without domain name I have the following in the original *hostname* file: ansa-desktop I did not change anything in this file as I thought it was OK according to the above instruction. 3) In System --> Preferences -> Network Connections Choose DHCP or Enter Static IP Number, subnet mask and gateway information When I did it I had the following: Static IP: 192.168.1.10 Subnet Maks: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 0.0.0.0 4) *sudo gedit /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf* Change the IP number in OPAC and Intranet virtual host. So I changed the following: ## OPAC <VirtualHost 127.0.1.1:80> TO ## OPAC <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:80> AND ## Intranet <VirtualHost 127.0.1.1:8080> TO ## Intranet <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:8080> 5) Restart Apache */etc/init.d/apache2 restart* This failed. I restarted, but then the Staff/OPAC client on the Ubuntu machine did not work. So I restored all the changes to their originals and its back working now - but back to my original problem that I can't connect the two. Please let me know if you can help, it will be much appreciated - Should I also then create a static IP for the Windows laptop?

I think vimal's live cd is already configured. You only need to point to the IP of where you installed your koha machine. So just go to the terminal of the Linux machine then ifconfig it. You will see the ip address of your computer, then just point to that ipaddress from your client computers. for koha administrator just add :8080. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Step-by-step-guide-to-enable-Koha-Staff-Cl...

Hi, As I read your message, I got it to work :D. Thanks to everyone for your help, especially Vidal. I greatly appreciated it. The original instructions worked, I must've mistyped the IP at one stage.

If you comment or remove the line: "NameVirtualHost *:80" in: /etc/apache2/ports.conf it should work (acces via LAN trough your static IP, 192.168.1.10 from the clients). 2013/2/25 femi <femifowoyo@gmail.com>
