Morning #koha - Im install koha 18.11.05 on debian 9.9.0 (stretch). I have set up my library db and created my domain, however when trying to access the domain it is redirecting me to completely the wrong site. |
| 07:30 |
|
Frank_P |
my library is "csx" and my domain name is ".koha.co.za" (co.za is for south africa) when accessing https://csx-intra.koha.co.za it redirects me to an internet provider?? |
| 07:32 |
|
Frank_P |
sorry http://csx-intra.koha.co.za |
| 07:32 |
|
ashimema |
So, do you own koha.co.za |
| 07:32 |
|
ashimema |
The domain name |
| 07:33 |
|
ashimema |
You need a DNS server out there in the big wide world to translate the DNS name to the IP address for your server |
| 07:35 |
|
ashimema |
If you don't want to buy the koha.co.za domain name then you could use a free dynamic DNS provider like http://duckdns.org/ or something and have an address like library.me.duckdns.org and staff.me.duckdns.org |
| 07:36 |
|
ashimema |
For demo purposes that would be perfectly reasonable I would think |
| 07:36 |
|
Frank_P |
i dont own koha.co.za nope, i thought i could select any domain as long as its not in use. and i have no idea why afrihost (the website it redirects to) would own that domain. During the installing i saw that there was 2 ways to set up the domain, but i could only see the setup for "small networks" and i couldnt see the setup for DNS |
| 07:36 |

Hope that helps Frank_P |
| 07:37 |
|
Frank_P |
oh wait, i do own a domain though |
| 07:37 |
|
Frank_P |
but im using it for a website |
| 07:37 |
|
Frank_P |
could i use that? |
| 07:40 |
|
ashimema |
You should be able to yes |
| 07:41 |
|
ashimema |
So long as you can access the DNS controls for that domain |
| 07:41 |
|
ashimema |
You want to add cname records for the two subdomains you want to register for koha |
| 07:42 |
|
ashimema |
I.e. if you own mywebsite.com you'll want to add library.mywebsite.com and library-intra.mywebsite.com records to map to you Koha servers up address |
| 07:43 |
|
ashimema |
DNS isn't too complicated once you wrap your head around it |
| 07:43 |
|
Frank_P |
im not sure if i have access to the DNS, i have access to cPanel for the domain, in order to install plugins like wordpress etc. but this sounds quite complicated... so i may just use the free one that you linked above for now |
| 07:43 |
|
ashimema |
As for why some isp own it.. isp's often pre-register loads of domains to sell on to you |
| 07:44 |
|
Frank_P |
lol decision decisions... tough one. let me login to my domain and see what i have access to |
| 07:44 |
|
ashimema |
Cpanel has a DNS module if I remember corrrectly |
| 07:46 |
|
ashimema |
https://www.pickaweb.co.uk/kb/[…]cords-via-cpanel/ looks like a promising guide for cpanel dns managrment |
| 07:46 |
|
ashimema |
Sorry I can't be of much more help there.. it's years since I've used cpanel I'm afraid.. |
| 07:47 |
|
ashimema |
Though an X Koha dev (still a lurker here) worked for cpanel for a fair while after she left us. |
| 07:49 |
|
ashimema |
A quick scan of that article makes me think I mislead you on cname.. I think it'll be an 'A record' you'll need to creat for each subdomain. |
| 07:49 |
|
ashimema |
Good luck |
| 07:50 |
|
Frank_P |
thank you soooo much for your help. Im on the phone to my IT guy who helps me with my site. Ill let you know how it goes |

ashimema: hey, so i managed to set the two sub domains. and i can access "csx.koha.sasoltech.co.za" but i cannot access "csx-intra.koha.sasoltech.co.za" although the same process was applied to both |
| 08:39 |
|
ashimema |
So, that sounds like an issue back on the Koha server end now.. |
| 08:39 |
|
ashimema |
First place I'd check is the Apache vhost definitions under /etc/Apache/site-enabled |
| 08:40 |
|
ashimema |
There should be a conf file in there for your site.. it'll contain two directives. One for staff one for opac |
| 08:41 |
|
ashimema |
Check the servername for the staff one matches the name you gave it on the DNS system. |
| 08:41 |
|
ashimema |
If it doesn't, make it match and then restart apache |
| 08:41 |
|
ashimema |
I'm about to dissapear for the rest of the weekend I'm afraid, last day with the kids before being away for kohacon for a week |
| 08:42 |
|
ashimema |
I'll be online tomorrow no doubt though.. glad to see your getting closer and closer though now. Well done for hanging on in there |
| 08:42 |
|
Frank_P |
thank ou. before you go though |
| 08:42 |
|
ashimema |
Fire away |
| 08:42 |
|
Frank_P |
that file youy mentioned is empty |
| 08:43 |
|
Frank_P |
no text |
| 08:43 |
|
ashimema |
Huh.. what |
| 08:43 |
|
ashimema |
The directory /etc/apache |
| 08:43 |
|
Frank_P |
sudo nano /etc/Apache/site-enabled - Directory does not existy |
| 08:43 |
|
ashimema |
Sites |
| 08:44 |
|
ashimema |
And I think it's Apache but it might be apache2 |
| 08:44 |
|
ashimema |
Not at my pc right now to check I'm afraid |
| 08:45 |
|
Frank_P |
the whole directory doesnt exit "[Directory '/etc/Apache' does not exist] |
| 08:45 |
|
Frank_P |
>.< |
| 08:45 |
|
Frank_P |
lol ill spend some more time on this. dont worry go enjoy your day with the kids =) |
| 08:45 |
|
ashimema |
If your seeing the opac it must exist somewhere |
| 08:46 |
|
ashimema |
'cd /etc/ap' then hit the tab key . That should then cycle through options that are available there with an autocompletion |

Hi all, I have installed and setup a Koha server, and i have successfully connected it to a domain, however how do i access the web installer? when i load the page it takes me to a page titles "Apache2 Debian Default Page" and says Apache server was installed correctly, but I was expecting to see the Koha web installer |
| 10:21 |
|
ashimema |
'sudo a2dissite default' followed by 'sudo service apache2 restart' should do the trick |
| 10:21 |
|
* ashimema |
goes back to kids |

thanks ashimema, i did that and then i got to the "System Maintenance The Koha online catalog is offline for system maintenance. " page. Now ive installed lynx which isnt in the Debian guide https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian |
| 10:38 |
|
ashimema |
not sure why you installed Lynx? |
| 10:38 |
|
ashimema |
so the 'system maintanence' page comes up on the OPAC when you need to do a db update (or follow the online installed) in the staff client |
| 10:39 |
|
ashimema |
just head to the staff client URL in any browser and login using the mysql username and password |
| 10:39 |
|
ashimema |
http://csx-intra.koha.sasoltech.co.za/ I believe in your case |
| 10:39 |
|
Frank_P |
I searched for my error and came across this: https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]#Web_Installation |
| 10:40 |
|
Frank_P |
yes I did what you said as above but i still get "System Maintenance The Koha online catalog is offline for system maintenance. We'll be back soon! If you have any questions, please contact the site administrator" |
| 10:40 |
|
Frank_P |
lynx also didnt work unfortunately |
| 10:40 |
|
ashimema |
feels like you're still not hitting the staff client then.. |
| 10:41 |
|
Frank_P |
well when i did the original setup, i used the wrong domain .koha.co.za - could there be residual files referring to that that i havent changed? |
| 10:41 |
|
Frank_P |
i checked in /etc/hosts ive checked in /ports.conf |
| 10:42 |
|
ashimema |
could well be |
| 10:42 |
|
ashimema |
`/etc/apache/sites-enabled/koha-instance_name.conf would be where |
| 10:44 |
|
Frank_P |
ahh, my apache folder is apache2: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled |
| 10:47 |
|
Frank_P |
strange |
| 10:48 |
|
Frank_P |
/etc/apache3/sites-enabled/koha-instance_name.conf says that would be a new file (no text yet) rofl... i dont know how i could have messed this up... installation was smooth until trying to access the web installer |
| 10:48 |
|
Frank_P |
sorry apache2* |
| 10:48 |
|
ashimema |
apache2 |
| 10:49 |
|
Frank_P |
yea it says the directory exists but no koha-instance_name.conf |
| 10:49 |
|
Frank_P |
i also tried koha-instance_csx.conf |
| 10:49 |
|
Frank_P |
not sure if "name" was a reference |
| 10:50 |
|
ashimema |
see what file are listed in the directory |
| 10:50 |
|
ashimema |
`ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled` |
| 10:50 |
|
ashimema |
`instance_name` was meant to be replaced by you by what you called your koha instance ;) |
| 10:52 |
|
Frank_P |
may i ask a favor. I may have confused an instruction on the /etc/hosts list - i have tried various different interpretartions but none have worked. but it could still be my error. Can you explain exactly what lines I should have. Ill explain quikcly |
| 10:53 |
|
Frank_P |
one first load of /etc/hosts I had: 1) 127.0.0.1 localhost 2) 127.0.1.1 csx.koha.sasoltech.co.za CSX. |
| 10:54 |
|
Frank_P |
Instruction said after "local host" input 2) server IP, name of your server |
| 10:55 |
|
ashimema |
your average /etc/hosts file need only contain |
| 10:55 |
|
ashimema |
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost |
| 10:55 |
|
Frank_P |
but the example was different from my default so i think i took out the wrong line 127.0.1.1 |
| 10:55 |
|
ashimema |
nothing else.. as you're using DNS you don't want/need to have anything extra listed within hosts |
| 10:56 |
|
ashimema |
so.. very quick lesson in name resolution |
| 10:56 |
|
ashimema |
when you head to my-pretty-page.com in a browser (or anything else for that matter).. you're computer will first look at `/etc/hosts` to see if there's an entry for it.. and if there is it will use that.. next it will go out to the internet and ask a DNS server for what the name should resolve to |
| 10:57 |
|
ashimema |
so.. if you have stuff in hosts it will overrule a public DNS entry |
| 10:57 |
|
Frank_P |
understood |
| 10:57 |
|
ashimema |
hense the 'just stick to the bear minimum in /etc/hosts' advie |
| 10:57 |
|
ashimema |

okay, almost there. in reference to these instructions: https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]ain_name_for_Koha |
| 10:58 |
|
Frank_P |
127.0.0.1localhost 127.0.1.1name-of-your-server # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters |
| 10:59 |
|
Frank_P |
the bottom following lines i added in: fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix they were not there by default - should i remove them |
| 10:59 |
|
Frank_P |
and |
| 11:00 |
|
ashimema |
yeah.. debian will have setup any ipv6 stuff correctly at install time if you have ipv6 |
| 11:00 |
|
ashimema |
if it's missing it means debian probed for an ipv6 address at install and didn't get assigned on by your local network |
| 11:00 |
|
ashimema |
all good |
| 11:01 |
|
Frank_P |
it said after localhost i should add "192.168.1.136 libraryname.domain.co.za 192.168.1.136 libraryname-intra.domain.co.za" |
| 11:01 |
|
Frank_P |
but thats for small mnetworks not DNS correct? |
| 11:01 |
|
ashimema |
I wouldn't bother personally |
| 11:01 |
|
Frank_P |
so i can remove those lines now? |
| 11:02 |
|
Frank_P |
lastly, you said mine should have 1 line saying "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" - but in the guide never said to change "localhost line" |
| 11:02 |
|
ashimema |
either remove it or replace with |
| 11:03 |
|
ashimema |
192.168.1.136 is an internal address |
| 11:03 |
|
Frank_P |
yeah mine is 192.168.0.101 |
| 11:03 |
|
ashimema |
well.. leave the localhost line that you have in there |
| 11:03 |
|
ashimema |
I wasn't sure whether you'd replaced it so I gave what my systems get by default |
| 11:04 |
|
ashimema |
try doing a `sudo ifconfig` and seeing what you're external ip address is |
| 11:04 |
|
ashimema |
the one you'll have used when adding the DNS rules? |
| 11:04 |
|
ashimema |
that's the address you need if you want the second line |
| 11:05 |
|
ashimema |
your.external.ip.address libraryname.domain.co.za libraryname-intra.domain.co.za |
| 11:05 |
|
Frank_P |
interesting part on that: mine doesnt tsay eth0 or wLan like the guide |
| 11:05 |
|
Frank_P |
mine says enp0s3: |
| 11:06 |
|
Frank_P |
um so you have 1) 127.0.0.1/8 |
| 11:06 |
|
Frank_P |
amd 2) 192.168.0.101 |
| 11:06 |
|
Frank_P |
i used the 2nd one |
| 11:10 |
|
ashimema |
`curl ifconfig.me` should give you the external address |
| 11:12 |
|
Frank_P |
curl:command not found]\ |
| 11:13 |
|
ashimema |
wow.. you don't have curl installed.. i thought that was always installed these days. |
| 11:15 |
|
Frank_P |
when running `ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled` i get [csx.conf] which is correct |
| 11:17 |
|
Frank_P |
[First place I'd check is the Apache vhost definitions under /etc/Apache/site-enabled] cant find anything here. gonna try the cycle with tab as you mentioned |
| 11:18 |
|
Frank_P |
ive tried /etc/apache/site-enabled |
| 11:18 |
|
Frank_P |
ive tried /etc/apache/sites-enabled |
| 11:18 |
|
Frank_P |
ive tried /etc/apache2/site-enabled |
| 11:18 |
|
Frank_P |
ive tried /etc/apache2/sites-enabled |
| 11:19 |
|
Frank_P |
nice!!! i found it and theres wrong info =D haha let me change it and see if it works |
| 11:20 |
|
Frank_P |
virtual host is supposed to be 80 or 8080? and where does 8081 come in? As i havent seen that port listed anywhere |
| 11:25 |
|
Frank_P |
It working!!! =D thank you ashimema. I am in the web installer |
