Hi Vimal, Thanks for that link - I tried my best to follow the article, but I had no luck. If you have the time can you see if you can find my problem:
I want to access the staff client from Ubuntu Koha on my Windows 7 laptop, so I take it I have to connect the two computers via a router (I have a spare for this purpose). I want to do this through the LAN not the Internet. WALK THROUGH OF STEPS FROM THE ARTICLE: 1) *sudo gedit /etc/hosts* Enter the IP Address and Fully Qualified Domain Name In the Terminal *$hostname --fqdn* gives ansa-desktop - I take it this is my Fully Qualified Domain Name. Can I arbitrarily choose an IP for this? Such as 192.168.1.10 ? Or does it have to be of a different form? I have the following in the original *hosts* file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 ansa-dekstop Should I replace all of this text with: 192.168.1.10 ansa-desktop Or should I just append to the original file? FYI: when I did it, I replaced the original content with this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.10 ansa-dekstop 2) *sudo gedit /etc/hostname* Enter the hostname of your system without domain name I have the following in the original *hostname* file: ansa-desktop I did not change anything in this file as I thought it was OK according to the above instruction. 3) In System --> Preferences -> Network Connections Choose DHCP or Enter Static IP Number, subnet mask and gateway information When I did it I had the following: Static IP: 192.168.1.10 Subnet Maks: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 0.0.0.0 4) *sudo gedit /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf* Change the IP number in OPAC and Intranet virtual host. So I changed the following: ## OPAC <VirtualHost 127.0.1.1:80> TO ## OPAC <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:80> AND ## Intranet <VirtualHost 127.0.1.1:8080> TO ## Intranet <VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:8080> 5) Restart Apache */etc/init.d/apache2 restart* This failed. I restarted, but then the Staff/OPAC client on the Ubuntu machine did not work. So I restored all the changes to their originals and its back working now - but back to my original problem that I can't connect the two. Please let me know if you can help, it will be much appreciated - Should I also then create a static IP for the Windows laptop?
