Can anyone please help with Koha 3 Virtual hosting issues? We are currently hosting Koha2.2.9 without a problem. I basically copy the Koha 3 database and change the database name in koha-conf.xml. On running the web page on port 8080, the system comes up with the installation page. Is there anything else to be changed? Thanks for any advice.
It's not nearly so simple as copying the database. Check out the Upgrading from Koha 2.2 to Koha 3.0 page on the Koha wiki: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30 On Wed, 2008-10-08 at 15:14 +0200, zang@zang.co.za wrote:

Thanks for the reply. I actually am not upgrading. I did a separate Koha 3 installation and want to set it up for multiple hosting. I just need to know what is to be done. The procedure that I followed with Koha 2 does not work with Koha 3.

This is where I'm getting confused. Why are you copying the Koha 2 database to use with Koha 3. Anyway, the thing to know is that there are significant differences between Koha 2 and Koha 3. The install process even is quite different. You did get the most important thing right though, which is to make sure the other Koha install is on different ports. I might have gone a different way though. If you have control over the DNS it's better, IMO, to go with Name virtual hosts rather than port virtual hosts. That's what I've done. All of the virtual hosts end up on the same port, making managing firewalls and links easier, and are accessed instead by different dns names. If you don't have control of the DNS though that's not possible. Anyway, if you are doing a clean install of Koha 3 there are instructions included in the source code. Check out the INSTALL.* files. On the other hand, if you are trying to migrate from Koha 2 to Koha 3 well, that's a different story. The link in my previous post covers that topic. Good luck.
Thanks Michael. I actually am not copying the Koha 2 database to Koha 3. There are 2 different servers, one running Koha 2, the other Koha 3. Will again have a look at the INSTALL files. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hafen [mailto:mdhafen@tech.washk12.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 6:20 PM To: C W Nel Cc: koha-devel@lists.koha.org Subject: RE: [Koha-devel] Koha 3 Hosting On Wed, 2008-10-08 at 17:22 +0200, C W Nel wrote:

Obviously I misunderstood your first post. Looking back it seems that you are trying to copy your Koha 3 install from one server to another. I'll proceed on this topic then. If this is the case it should work fine. Copy the database and all the installed files, and it should work fine. Apart from changing the database stuff in koha_conf.xml as you mentioned you did. Getting the install page in the staff client means you have a newer version of the files than you had on the other server. That's my best guess. Good luck.

Sorry for not being clear. To make a long story short, the basic problem is as follows: Changing the database name in koha_conf.xml causes the install page to appear, even though a database of that name exists. If I can understand why, I can most likely solve the problem. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hafen [mailto:mdhafen@tech.washk12.org] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 6:40 PM To: C W Nel Cc: koha-devel@lists.koha.org Subject: RE: [Koha-devel] Koha 3 Hosting Obviously I misunderstood your first post.

The installer appears when the file version is greater than the database version. The file version number comes from $INSTALL/intranet/cgi-bin/kohaversion.pl the database version comes from the systempreferences table, in the Version variable. Those are the two places to check then. Good luck. On Wed, 2008-10-08 at 19:36 +0200, C W Nel wrote:
