[Koha] Install Koha on AlmaLinux 8

Sat Apr 23 03:36:43 NZST 2022

Hi Alvaro,

thank you very much for your reply!

I have changed the /var/log/koha files permission as follow (see below),
and now I have managed to enter Koha Administration Panel!
Only one question: is it safe to keep all these file in chmod 666?
