[Koha] Koha installation puzzles

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello Fred,

I have no idea what means the "is transient or generated." error. But
you should make sure koha-common is started.

The wiki is wrong (I will edit it). There is no more --use-memcached
option (to koha-create), it's mandatory now.

Do you manage to access the interface? If so, go to the about page and
confirm there that memcached is configured correctly.

Regards,
Jonathan
