[Koha] What's up with That? (installing on Ubuntu)

Hi Phillip.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and then following the instructions on the Koha

Could you provide a link to the instructions you used?

Did you install using the packages? (The recommended way for most standard
installations)?

What is the exact message you are getting?

If you have used the packages for installation you need to disable the
default Apache configuration, make sure your site configuration is enabled,
and enable listening on port 8080.

On Debian (not sure for Ubuntu, but I think it is similar and assuming you
have sudo installed rather than using root) it is:
sudo a2dissite default
sudo vi (or nano) /etc/apache2/ports.conf and add Listen 8080 after the
Listen 80 entry
make sure your site configuration is enabled under
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled (sudo a2ensite nameofyoursiteconfig)
 sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
