Hi Zac,
The problem is that 127.0.0.1 is a loopback address which always points
to the computer on which it is set itself, meaning on Windows machine it
will point to windows machine and on ubuntu virtual machine it will
point to ubuntu machine. To be able to reach koha site on ubuntu virtual
machine you have three options:
1) use ubuntu IP address (in your case 192.168.1.68)
2) put the following line in windows machine and any other machine's
hosts file that will be accesing ubuntu virtual machine (on Windows 7
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts; on UNIX/Linux machines /etc/hosts):
192.168.1.68 ubuntuhost library.ubuntuhost library-intra.ubuntuhost
3) install a DNS server somewhere on your network and configure it (a
bit beyond the scope of running koha)
With best Regards
Puška

Hello
I am trying to install Koha following these instructions:
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages
My host machine is Windows 8, and Ubuntu is running on it inside
Oracle Virtualbox.
I have no idea what to input as the DOMAIN in /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf
I also don't know what domain to put in /etc/hosts
I have done this, as a guess:
** /etc/hosts **
127.0.0.1 locahost
127.0.1.1 ubuntuhost
127.0.0.1 library.ubuntuhost
127.0.0.1 library-intra.ubuntuhost
** /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf **
DOMAIN=""
Now, when I input "192.168.1.68" or "ubuntuhost" in the browser on my
windows PC, I get the "it works" message from apache on ubuntu. But if
I input "library.ubuntuhost" or "library.ubuntuhost:80" then it times
out.
I can ping "library.ubuntuhost" from ubuntu command prompt but not
from the windows host machine.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Zac Craven
