Hi, I got interested in this discussion and tried to attach an a pdf to a record in koha. (Followed bywater solutions video on https://youtu.be/mbYgsodcPaU)
My pdf cannot however open. I get a request denied from 127.0.0.1. It opens if I log in from the server but not from any other computer. My koha version is 20.11.11 on ubuntu 20.05. What am I missing? Thanks for your help. James On Wed, 18 May 2022, 17:19 Caroline Cyr La Rose, < caroline.cyr-la-r...@inlibro.com> wrote: > Hi Heather! > > > Thanks so much for your answer!
