Dear Koha users and developers I am new to Koha, in fact haven't even downloaded it yet. I will be using Ubuntu set up a test server (6.0.6 LAMP LTS) although the live installation will probably be on a Debian box. I have some questions: I will need to host the system on a server outside my LAN. I'd like it to be on the same server that hosts our web site. I doubt that our service provider will give me root access to their web server though. Is it strictly necessary? Also, it should be fine if I manage the database conversion using the test setup and then move it over to the Debian system shouldn't it? I mean, the database won't change from that surely? You advice appreciated.

If you have the choice and the live installation will be on a Debian box, it would be better to use Debian as the test server too. Debian 4.0 contains many packages more recent than Ubuntu 6.0.6 IIRC. For example, Ubuntu 6.0.6 has mysql-server 5.0.22, Debian 4.0 has 5.0.32.

It is not strictly necessary - search recent messages for more detail.

If your settings are similar enough and/or your database dump is careful enough, it should be fine.
