[Koha] Installed new server can no longer access KOHA.

[Mark Tompsett]

Greetings,

This is why I much prefer looking at the Wiki, because the warning is more 
ominous and fear inducing.
"Disable Default Site
If you are running Drupal or any other web service on the same machine, do 
not disable the default site! If you are unsure, do not disable the default 
site! When in doubt, always talk with your system administrator, network 
administrator, or IT Department.
The following is intentionally not boxed to prevent problems arising from 
improperly disabling the default site.
If and only if Koha is the only thing on this server, then feel free to run 
this to disable the default site: sudo a2dissite 000-default"

Additionally, given people's laziness leading to just cut and past the boxes 
in, this command is generally overlooked.

This is written for the librarian with no linux experience trying an Ubuntu 
install. The problem is the Ubuntu pages give a little more detail than the 
Debian in terms of intermediate steps, but approach it from the "Oh shoot, 
this person knows nothing about networking or apache configuration". The 
Debian pages assume a higher level of networking and apache configuration 
understanding than that, last I checked.

As for the INSTALL file, that update was way better than the previous 
version. :P

GPML,
Mark Tompsett

There is probably some other apache site configured with a higher
priority than Koha.  This is a choice you or Ubuntu made with your
Apache configuration.  It is not really a Koha problem, but
http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL.ubuntu;hb=HEAD#l415
says

415 Disable Default Site
416 =================================================================
417
418 These short instructions assume that the default site is
419 not needed.  Talk with your system administrator, network
420 administrator, or IT Department to CONFIRM THIS BEFORE RUNNING
421 the following command:
422     sudo a2dissite 000-default

Hope that informs,
