[Koha] Koha multiple instance

[eugene jose espinoza]

I got it already, hope I can redo what I did. :) This time through koha-create. I did what MJ said, I installed build-essential, I was able to make work the debian package. 
Did you convert your regular install to a packages based install?

I can't recall, i tried http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installing_Multiple_Instances_of_Koha and when I can't make it work tried the debian package (koha-create). To and fro, just remove what i've created through koha-remove, re-configure apache (I'm using webmin by the way!) and got it

/etc/koha/sites/instance_name/... This represents how the configuration 
files for each instance.

As for /usr/share/koha_newinstancename: no. The source code for Koha doesn't 
change for a new instance, the database and the apache configuration does.
The apache configuration will point at the configuration files for the given 
instance found in the directory I listed above.

Of course. :)

Of course, because as I said, the source code doesn't change, only the 
configuration files (/etc/koha/sites/instance_name/...), the database, and 
the apache configuration files (/etc/apache2/sites-available/instance_name 
and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/instance_name)

Hopefully that makes some sense. Sorry if I have answered out of turn or 
incorrectly. :)
