Installation of KOHA and DSpace on the same Ubuntu server.

DSpace is an open source repository software package typically used for creating open access repositories for scholarly and/or published digital content. 

DSpace by default uses port 8080

Koha is a fully featured, scalable library management system.

Koha by default uses two ports that is 80 and 8080.

By this, you realise that there is a conflict with regards to the ports.

So, what we do here is to change the ports for Koha to different ports


Adding Koha ports

Open following file and add ports

sudo vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf

Type the following lines below such that they can work for both OPAC and Staff interface instead of ports 80 and 8080 since by default are also used by DSpace.

NOTE: You can use any different port of your own choice as long as they don't conflict with the ones already in use.

Listen 8000

Listen 8001


Restart Apache,

sudo service apache2 restart

Open following link in a broswer to confirm that the ports you have added are working,

http://127.0.1.1:8000
http://127.0.1.1:8001

After that you can start installation of DSpace.
