[Koha] koha 2.2.9: not available from inernet on its port

[H. S.]

My apologies for replying to Joe only in my last email. I am not familiar
with gmail. I had wanted to reply to the list. I usually use Gmane, but it
seems like koha's group over there is very sluggish. In any case, the
solution is in my reply below.

Here are two changes that worked in the stanza I mentioned above:

1.
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:8000>  <--- I put the IP address here

2.
Redirect permanent index.html
http://mydomain.com:8000/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl   <--- put the domain
name here.

Similarly for the intranet stanza.

Then I was able to browse koha from the internet and also login as admin.
Now I need to play with it a bit :)

thanks,
->HS
