Hi Sami, I'm running koha 3.18 on debian wheezy (7) installed via apt-get install koha-common. I got a little farther following http://kohageek.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-setup-plugin-system-in-koha.html... He said that the lines in koha-conf.xml need to go before the last </config> line near the end of the file and the Alias /plugin/ line should go at the end of library file in /etc/apache2/sites-available. Once I got the updates in the proper place and enabled UseKohaPlugins, _Tools Plugins_ appeared on the Tools page as did _Report Plugins_ on the Reports page which was as described in Chapter 14 of the 3.18 manual. However there was no Plugins option under the More menu in the tool bar. When I went to Tools->Tools Plugins I expected to be able to upload some of the Bywater Solutions sample plugins. This is what I got:

-- Bob Ewart Chapter 14 in the 3.18 koha manual needs to be updated to include /library/ where appropriate and to tell where the lines should be inserted. On 12/09/2014 06:33 AM, Sami M. Rasheed <sami_rasheed@yahoo.com> wrote:

- Create the directory /var/lib/koha/plugins - Add the lines <pluginsdir>/var/lib/koha/plugins</pluginsdir> <enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins>" to your koha-conf.xml file - Add the line Alias/plugin/ "/var/lib/koha/plugins/" to koha-httpd.conf file - Restart your webserver - Enable UseKohaPlugins system preference.
Problem: Plugins still disabled.
Plugins disabled! To enable Koha plugins, the system preference UseKohaPlugins must be enabled, and the flag enable_plugins must be set in the Koha configuration file How I can enable Plugins.. Thanks.------------------------------------------------------Sami Al-Asheh
