When you say "not available", what do you mean exactly?

If you are using the IP address from the outside, you will need to have
the admin interface on a different port. If it is already on a different
port, then you will need to configure your external firewall to allow
connections inward on that port.

The recommended way (because nobody likes memorising IP addresses) is to
have two hostnames, library.organisation.com and
libraryadmin.organisation.com for example, and to set up the apache
configuration (using the "ServerName" directive) to respond to these
appropriately. This is called a name-based virtual host in Apache.
