Newbie Looking for Help!

Hello-
 
I am a retired librarian who has been asked to revitalize our church library. Issue number 1 for me is replacing the single user/non-MARC catalog--I use the term loosely--software that supports the collection. My research pointed me to koha.
 
I have installed V2.2.9 on a test machine at home and like what I have seen thus far. I am also able to access the OPAC from other machines on my home network by simply doing an http call to the IP address of the test machine. I have not, however, figured out how to access the "Intranet" (staff client, or whatever the proper termonology is) piece via the network. The documenation suggests that the version I downloaded and installed is intended for single machine use only. I have has yet been unable to locate anything that would either a) point me to a production, as opposed to a demo, release or b) explain what is needed to access the staff piece of the system from another computer on the network. (I have been playing with the httpd.conf file on the Apache server and think the solution might be there, but, again, to without success.) Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
 
TIA

Hi Mark,

I'm much more familiar with Koha 3.0 and later, but one thing you
could try is connecting to http://<hostname>:8080.

Regards,

Galen

Mark,

I enclose my notes for fixing KOHA (version 2.2.9 on Windows) to be accessible on the intranet. Please let me know if it worked.

Good luck - Marek

--------
Koha229


1) Replace koha-vhosts.conf with the content below. Replace KURA in the configuration below
with the name of the machine where you installed KOHA
The file location is typically C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf
-------------------------------
#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#


#
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
 NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost _default_:*>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-opac
    DocumentRoot /usr/koha229/opac/htdocs
    ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/ /usr/koha229/opac/cgi-bin/
    Redirect permanent index.html http://KURA:80/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl
    ServerName opac
    ErrorLog logs/opac-error.log
    CustomLog logs/opac-access.log common
    SetEnv PERL5LIB "c:/usr/koha229/intranet/modules"
</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost KURA:80

<VirtualHost KURA:80>

    CustomLog logs/intranet-access.log common
    SetEnv PERL5LIB "c:/usr/koha229/intranet/modules"
</VirtualHost>

-----------------------------------------------
2) In hppd.conf (the same location C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf) add a line:

Listen 8080

----------------------------------------
3) If you have a problem with editing MARC subfields, use the following hack:

Here is the error as reported in the apache intranet error log:  [error]  can't opendir c:\\usr\\koha228\\intranet/value_builder: No such file or directory at C:/usr/koha228/intranet/cgi-bin/koha/admin/marc_subfields_structure.pl line 143., referer: http://intranet/cgi-bin/koha/admin/marc_subfields_structure.pl?tagfield= 245&frameworkcode=MONO

The program might be looking for value_builder in the wrong place. This is the default path to the value_builder folder: C:\usr\koha228\intranet\cgi-bin\koha\value_builder

Make a copy of value_builder and move it here: C:\usr\koha228\intranet\cgi-bin\value_builder

------------------
4) Restart Apache. You should be able now to access the Intranet entry point by pointing your browser to http://YourServer:8080
