I've installed Koha 3.6 - as provided by Vimal Kumar on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. This works excellently.
However, I want to access the web Staff/OPAC client via LAN, so that I can open the clients on another computer (Windows 7) in addition to accessing it on the Koha machine.
Vimal directed me to this website: http://kohageek.pbworks.com/w/page/51840331/Network%20Configuration
Here is a break down of the instructions, and what I did. This method failed, and I reverted my files back to their original content, and my Staff/OPAC clients work again now, but are still not accessible on LAN.
I've got a router for this, and I connected each computer to the router - they can see each other on the network.
1) sudo gedit /etc/hosts
Enter the IP Address and Fully Qualified Domain Name
My original file contains the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ansa-desktop#The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts) ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I replaced the top part with:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.10 ansa-desktop
2) sudo gedit /etc/hostname Enter the hostname of your system without domain name
My file contains the following:
ansa-desktop
I didn't make changes in this file - it look right to me.
3) In System --> Preferences -> Network Connections Choose DHCP or Enter Static IP Number, subnet mask and gateway information
I chose the following:
IP: 192.168.1.10
Subnetmask:255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (automatically set)
4) sudo gedit /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf Change the IP number in OPAC and Intranet virtual host.
My original file contained the following and the IPs in bold was subsequently swapped with my selected static IP (192.168.1.10):

5) Restart Apache /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
This failed (I forgot the error message, but can recreate it if required).
I also have Webmin installed and configured, as part of the Koha install - if this should be relevant.
I have also looked at this article, but couldn't gleam from it a resolve for my problem:stackoverflow article
If anyone can tell me why this didn't work and how to make it work, I would really appreciated it.
Thanks Jurgens
