[Koha] Editing koha-sites.conf to allow for multiple instances

[Quỳnh Vũ Đỗ]

Hello,
I think that you should attribute two different ports to your intranet
(Staff login) and your OPAC. Something like:

> INTRAPORT="8000"
> INTRAPREFIX=""
> INTRASUFFIX="-admin"
> OPACPORT="80"
> OPACPREFIX="opac"
> OPACSUFFIX=""
In this situation the port "80" is the default one for the web server
Apache to 'listen" and will display the OPAC interface (if it is public).
To log in the intranet (Staff login) to administer Koha and the library
database, then you would need to add ":8000" to the end of your URL like "
https://your_domain:8000/".

In the case of two Koha instances running on the same server. I think that
you would have a koha-conf.xml for each instance (under
/etc/koha/sites/instance_name/) and you should have, in my opinion, two
different sets of ports like ports 8000 and 8080 for one instance and ports
9000 and 9090 for the second instance. The port numbers I would choose are
such that you can remember which instance you want to access on the server,
and then which one is the OPAC and which one is for staff login.

You would also need to indicate the ports to which the (Apache) web server
should be listening in the file /etc/apache2/ports.conf, which for the
example above would be inserting the following lines in that file:

LISTEN 8000
LISTEN 8080
LISTEN 9000
LISTEN 9090

As I'm not a specialist, especially for running two instances of Koha, I
hope other contributors will correct me if I've been wrong somewhere.
Best regards
Quynh
