Re: [Koha-win32] new install

[Rob Weir]

Hi Laurie:
The typical windows install uses Apache virtual hosts to route requests to the two interfaces. The Opac interface is set as the default, so you can reach it using just the server's IP address or domain name. However to reach the administrative interface, you need to associate the alias "intranet" with the IP address of the server. If you have a DNS server on your network, you can ask your IT manager to add an A record that links "intranet" with the IP address of your server.

The other option is to add  a couple entries to the hosts file on your local workstation for each of the interfaces. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.1.25, the entries would look like:

      192.168.1.25    opac         #    Koha Library Software OPAC
      192.168.1.25    intranet     #    Koha Library Software INTRANET

If you do this, apache will take the incoming requests and route them to the correct interface. There is a little additional information on this on the Koha wiki at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohawintroubleshoot

If you aren't familiar with the hosts file and need more help with that, write again.

We recently downloaded KOHA to our server which is located two floors away
from the library and my office machine.  Currently, I can only access what
will be the public interface from my office PC however, I can get into the
Administrative interface if I get directly on the server by physically
entering the server room and entering the parameters directly into the
server from there.  

My problem: How do I gain access to the Administrative interface from my
office PC since that computer will be the machine responsible for all KOHA
interactions (circ, cataloging, etc)?  Has anyone else run into this
problem?  

The server is a WIN 2000 server and my office system is a WIN 2000 machine.


Thank you.
