Installing Koha on a Sun Server?
Does anyone know how to install VirtualBox software on a Sun Solaris UltraSparc Sunfire 280R server with Solaris 9 OS...? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott Kushner Information Systems Librarian Middletown Public Library

Hmm you'd think it would be doable, given they are all Oracle now. I have run Koha itself on Solaris before, but not inside virtualbox. Solaris has its own virtualisation method doesnt it? maybe doing it with that would be easier Chris

AFAIK, VirtualBox is x86/amd64 emulator, so it won't work on Sparc procesor. Download page[1] does provide Solaris version of VirtualBox, but for x86/amd64. 1: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads -- Dobrica Pavlinusic 2share!2flame dpavlin@rot13.org Unix addict.

You'll probably need to upgrade to the latest version of Solaris, which is 10 9/10. That was the word we got from Sun Support when we were running an older version of Solaris 10, and had no success getting VirtualBox installed. Once we did that installing VBox was easy, and it's running fine now. We have Koha running on Debian in one VM. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Greg -- Greg Lawson Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N.
