Configuring the Apache2 Web Server
Two IP addresses
This is IP based virtual hosts. We use two IP addresses, one for the OPAC and
the other for the staff client. Your Koha server needs to have at least two Network
Interfaces cards.

This is just a test environment; here we
can't get a host name and a DNS entry.

Our server has or we can setup two IP
addresses.

Staff Client Port - 80
In our organization, it is difficult getting
firewalls opened for non -standard port
8080.
Standalone machine
If you intend to use Koha on a standalone machine, then the plan is fairly straight
forward. We use the machine's localhost address or the corresponding local loop IP
address - 127.0.0.1. As the machine is not networked, it is easy to use port 8080 or
any other port for that matter.
