[Koha] Setting up a machine as a lone station and searching by reading levels

[Krishnan M]

Hello Darla,

About the first question:
Its always a good idea to have your IP addresses and hostnames setup correctly regardless of whether or not you expect someone else on the network to reach you.

In any case, the 127.0.0.1 "loopback" address is available with a regular TCP/IP stack, regardless of whether you are connected to any network at all, and i am assuming you are on a Linux box.

I'd suggest that you ensure your /etc/hosts has (at least) the entry

127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost

Then, everywhere else (in your httpd.conf or koha-httpd.conf), just use the hostname localhost and you should be fine.

When you are ready for network users, add your hostname and IP address to /etc/hosts, ensure your hostname is set correctly( create /etc/hostname with your hostname, and try /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname), and replace this hostname in place of localhost in Apache and other configuration files.

About the second part: i am not able to answer this

regards,
krishnan

Happy Friday all,

I am trying to set up a Koha installation on a machine that will not be 
accessed from other machines.  In other words the machine doesn't need 
an i.p address that will be used by anyone.  Can I just use the 
127.0.0.1 or would I need something else?

Second questions, I would like to have my reading levels be searchable.  
Can I set up MARC line 521 to be searchable or would I need to put these 
levels in as subject headings?

These questions have become much too big for me and my little brain to 
think about for a Friday.  I appreciate any help/insite someone would 
like to give.

Have a good weekend

home.
