[Koha-devel] Koha 3 Hosting

[C W Nel]

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.

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Getting the install page in the staff client means you have a newer
version of the files than you had on the other server.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.
