[Koha-devel] Koha 3 Hosting

[C W Nel]

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.

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.
