In general, koha-devel at nongnu.org may be a better list to ask, so we
don't bore all the users with development questions.

Symlink the koha-httpd.conf into /etc/apache2/sites-available, as you
correctly guessed.  That line had a ytpo in it and I failed to update
the README.txt to match the latest changes to the installer, so I've
just patched it.  Installer prepatches appear at
  http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/koha-installer/
if you want to try them before the QA manager and Release Manager
review them.

That's a mistake: you need the installed copy of koha-httpd.conf,
which doesn't contain __KEYWORD__ tags.

That's the sort of error you'll get using the source copy instead of
the installed one.

Hope that helps,
