Shri Ram, Last week I went through a Koha 3 install on Ubuntu 8.04 and tried "localhost:8080" with the same result -- "It Works!". Then I realized my problem: During the installation process I saw a message telling me that, since I hadn't defined a name for the server, it would use 127.0.1.1 by default. I glanced at that number too quickly and assumed it was localhost, aka 127.0.0.1. Using http://127.0.1.1:8080 and http://127.0.1.1:80 got me to the right place. I hope that'll work for you. In case not, if you haven't checked this already, please confirm that Apache is listening on port 8080. The file /etc/apache2/ports.conf should have this line: Listen 8080 ...Andy Giesler University of Wisconsin-Madison -----Original Message----- From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of shriram pandey Sent: Friday, September 19, 2008 6:48 AM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Koha 3.0 Web installer problem Dear List Members, I Installed each and every requirements for koha3 on ubuntu 8.04 .

Hi Shriram, Hope Andy's tip helped solve your problem. Usually, the permanent fix for hostname resolution is to edit your /etc/hosts file: A sample hosts file will look like this (spaces exaggerated here): 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost servername <network-ip-address> servername.domainname servername Then do a "/sbin/hostname -f /etc/hosts" to pick up your hostname. Also, add the ServerName directive into your httpd.conf file and re-start Apache. i am using Apache 2.2.9 on Fedora 9, so things may be slightly different for you. i encountered similar issues, and i had to work through more things before i had Koha running. So some of the following may help... The "it works!" page is the default.html or index.html page that ships with Apache and lets you know that at least Apache is running with the basic configuration. Do you have your own server or are you running on a shared server? Did you re-configure Apache, or are you using .htaccess files? Is cgi-bin enabled and working properly? If you look at the koha-httpd.conf file that is generated, you will see that there are ScriptAlias directives like: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/" ScriptAlias /index.html "/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl" You can try invoking the mainpage.pl directly by using http://<servername>:<port>/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl As you do this, you might want to open a new terminal and do a "tail -f" on the koha-error_log to see any errors as they scroll by. On the standard install, the file is usually at /var/log/koha On the couple of installs i did, i had to fix problems with missing modules (that were not reported during install) before i had everything up. Feel free to ask for more help.
