hi everybody,

i'm working on installation koha. I'm using Mandrake 7.2 on my 
server. in fact i'm a newbie on linux. first of all I've print of out 
installation file and I've made all of them step by step but there are 
some parts which I don't understand. Of course there are some 
problems. For example all the virtual host are working but when I 
want to made a query a blank screen came across me on browser. 
This is the steps I've made:

1/ Create a new mysql database [OK] 
2/ Set up a username and password in mysql [OK] 
3/ Use the mysql script to create the tables [OK] 
4/ Edit koha.conf [OK] 
5/ Copy koha.conf to /etc/ [OK] 

>------------------- IMPORTANT---------------
>the permissions on this config file should also be strict, since 
>they contain the database password. At a minimum, the apache 
>user needs to be able to read it, as well as any other user that 
>runs circ. I would suggest ownership of www-data.libadmins with 
>no access to others. libadmins contain all users that use koha. (If 
>you set the owner as www-data u will need to make sure apache 
>is running as www-data)  
>------------------------------------------------------- (I didn't understant this 
paragraph perhaps the problem's reason is at that terms.)


6/  $path="/usr/local/www/koha/htdocs/includes";  [OK]

Next copy the C4 directory (in scripts/) to somewhere in ur perl path
eg /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux/ 


Right we are now ready to set up our opac

1/ Set up a webspace for the opac  [OK]
2/ In your opac dir make a dir called htdocs,  [OK]
3/ Again in ur opac dir make a dir called cgi-bin  [OK]
4/ Your virtual host should be set up to use these dirs [OK]
5/ Ok, restart apache  [OK]

Now we can set up the intranet/librarian interface

1/ Set up another webspace lets call it koha  [OK]
2/ In the dir you have just created make an htdocs  [OK]
3/ Make sure ur virtual host is set up to use these dirs  [OK]
4/ Restart apache point your browser at koha.your.site  [OK]
