Did you choose 'dev' at this point, and use the same database name, database
user name, password, etc.?

At this point you should have fines in /home/myuser/koha-dev. Rather than use
the koha-httpd.conf from before you want to symlink
home/myuser/koha-dev/etc/koha-httpd.conf
to /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha and then a2ensite koha. You no longer
need that older installation's filesystem /user/share/koha or wherever else
the old install files are, everything's now in kohaclone, and
/home/myuser/koha-dev.

Make sure PERL5LIB is kohaclone, and KOHA_CONF is
/home/myuser/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml

Hope that helps,
