Re: [Koha] Koha setup: using single for staff client and OPAC
Jim, Yes, you can certainly run the intranet and OPAC on the same port. Just use virtual hosts in Apache. Regards, Jared 2012/1/9 Jim Maroon storyp...@gmail.com Hello, folks. I was wondering if I could get some advice. There is a controversy at our library about allowing outside access for the staff client. Our network administrator (who will have nothing to do with our Koha system) is concerned that opening a second port for the staff client creates additional risks. We have since worked out a compromise, but then I ran into the below link. In it, the author implies we don't need to use two ports, as he is only suggesting using port 80. I'm assuming that is for both staff and OPAC access from outside the firewall. ** ** http://openlib.org/home/krichel/courses/lis9012/doc/koha_installation.html Here is the relevant quote: Also note we are using port 80 for both servers, I don't see a reason to do otherwise. Apache can run many different virtual servers. Normally, each server has its own domain name. So, does this mean we could run both staff and OPAC on port 80? If so, I think this would go a long way toward resolving this issue and answering his security concerns.

Re: [Koha] Koha setup: using single for staff client and OPAC
Excellent. But is it accessible then only via the intranet, or could we access it from the Internet, as well? That is the real issue we are facing. Sorry for my ignorance. I'm not much of a network guy.

Re: [Koha] Koha setup: using single for staff client and OPAC
Thanks, all, for the swift and helpful responses to my question. Turns out that doesn't answer his security concern (now I'm confused as to what his concern is), so we're still stuck where we were. Anyway, thanks again. --Jim ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
