Hi all,

I have downloaded http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00.tar.gz
and began installing it on Debian/etch (in a Linux vserver environment).

Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix?

Aside: there were a couple of other problems with this "out of the box"
debian based install of Koha 3.0 which had to be fixed along the way, e.g.
seven missing perl modules and libgd not found.

I'll report on the entire process from unpacking to a running Koha/3.00.00
once I get to the end.

cheers

It sounds like there might be problems with DNS (/etc/hosts not having your hostname); could you report on the result of this command?

$ perl -e 'use Sys::Hostname; use Socket; print hostname() . "\n"; print gethostbyname(hostname()) ? "dns good\n" : "dns bad\n";'
