[Koha] Cataloging question - Electronic resource with no link (MARC21)

[muiru james]

Hi,

I got interested in this discussion and tried to attach an a pdf to a
record in koha. (Followed bywater solutions video on
https://youtu.be/mbYgsodcPaU)


My pdf cannot however open. I get a request denied from 127.0.0.1. It opens
if I log in from the server but not from any other computer.

My koha version is 20.11.11 on ubuntu 20.05.

What am I missing?

Thanks for your help.

James
