[Koha] Koha installation woes

Hi folks

We're trying to set up a little test server on our own: I'm following the instructions on https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian and we have a little server running Debian Stretch.

We've hit a wall:

We've done the following:
	added the apt key, 
	installed the apt sources.list for oldstable, 
	installed koha-common (apt-get update && apt-get install koha-common),
	installed MySQL (apt-get install mysql-server),
	enabled the 'rewrite' and 'cgi' modules for Apache2 and restarted Apache2,
	edited /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf as follows:
		DOMAIN=".myDNSname.org"
		INTRAPORT="8080"
		INTRAPREFIX=""
		INTRASUFFIX=""
		OPACPORT="80"
		OPACPREFIX=""
		OPACSUFFIX=""
		DEFAULTSQL=""
		ZEBRA_MARC_FORMAT="marc21"
		ZEBRA_LANGUAGE="en"
		USE_MEMCACHED="yes"
		MEMCACHED_SERVERS="127.0.0.1:11211"
		MEMCACHED_PREFIX="koha_"
	(so we're configuring for IP address access),
	Used koha-create to set up the virtual hosts and empty database (koha-create --create-db dmltest),
And this is where we've hit the wall. We can't seem to access the Koha installer: Pointing a browser to port 80 of the address gives us the Apache test page, and pointing to port 8080 gives us (on Chrome) error ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Can anyone point us to where we've gone wrong?

With kind regards from the Dalton McCaughey Library Team
