Nicholas: Some suggestions for documentation changes. I think that installer.pl should be the recommended installation method for 1.2.x now. installer.pl will: Check for perl modules Prompt for an installation directory for the OPAC files. Default value is /usr/local/koha/opac/ Prompt for an installation directory for the Intranet files. Default value is /usr/local/koha/intranet/ Prompt for an installation directory for koha.conf Default value is /etc/koha.conf Prompt for a name for Koha's Mysql database Default value is Koha Prompt for the hostname where the database is located Default is localhost Note: Using a database hosted on another server will probably break installer.pl at this point, as it uses mysql client tools (mysql and mysqladmin) for creating and populating the database. Prompt for a mysql user for Koha to use Default is kohaadmin Prompt for a mysqlpassword for the Koha user There is no default Prompts for an email address for the Apache Virtual Hosts Default is webmaster@YOUR.DOM.AIN Prompts for the domain name or ip address of the server Default is the installing machine's hostname Prompts for a port for the OPAC virtual host Default is port 80 Note: Using port 80 for the OPAC interface will "hide" any other web content being served from Apache's default root directory. If the server is serving other web content already, the OPAC interface should be put on a port other than 80. Port 8000 might be a good suggestion. Prompts for a port for the INTRANET virtual host Default is 8080 * Copies all of the files to their final locations * Prompts for the MySQL root password There is no default * Creates and Updates the Koha database * Prompts to install the sample data Default is No Note: If you are installing Koha for evaluation purposes, I have a batch of sample data that you can install now. If you are installing Koha with the intention of populating it with your own data, you probably don't want this sample data installed. If you do _not_ install the sample data, the script will prompt the user for a library branch and a printer Default is "Main Library", "MAIN" and "Library Printer", "lp" The install.pl displays a message stating that the INTRANET interface can be reached at: http://your.machine.name:8080/ and the OPAC can be reached at: http://your.machine.name:80/ Last prompt is to restart the apache webserver. Default is No Steve Tonnesen.
