[Koha] Install Koha on AlmaLinux 8

[Alessandro Tedesco]

Hi,

I have workedaround the Onboarding Web Installer issues in creating
Superlibrarian Patron with the "create_superlibrarian.pl" and now I have
finished the Web Installation process.

However, when I try to connect to the Koha administration panel, I get the
500 Internal Server Error; and again, the only error that I see in /var/log/
koha/koha-error_log is related to z3950:
-------------------------
Can't open /var/log/koha/z3950-error.log (Permission denied) at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 151.:
/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl
End of script output before headers: mainpage.pl
Can't open /var/log/koha/z3950-error.log (Permission denied) at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 151.:
/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/errors/500.pl
End of script output before headers: 500.pl
-------------------------
Does anyone have any idea how to try to fix it?

Thanks and have a nice day!
Alessandro
