I am trying to install and run Koha on my laptop at home. My laptop has Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10 installed on it with a dual boot option.
I am a computer programmer who has worked on a browser based library management system in the past so I am familiar with most of the concepts and steps here. Although the system I worked on only ran on Windows we did use Apache on some sites so I am also familiar with configuring Apache. My intention is to initially run it on my computer as "localhost" while I familiarise myself with it.
I have gone through the process of installation as detailed on wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian without error as far as: "Access the web interface".
So to summarise my system has:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Koha 18.11 current stable
MySQL database
I have completed the following steps without error:
1. Install Koha
2. Install the database (MySQL)
3. Configure the defaults
4. Create a Koha instance
The next step "Access the web interface" did not work.
At this point I get the standard 'Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page' telling me that Apache is working but the site may be down for maintenance etc.
My koha-sites.conf file has:
DOMAIN=".localhost"
It seems to me that there is a configuration directive to find the Koha default.html or index.html that is missing or looking in the wrong place. Can anyone help me find where this configuration directive is or tell me what I'm doing wrong. I imagine it is something very simple.
