Hi Paul, it doesn't look like the series of commands you issued are exact matches for those given at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian. Specifically, there are some Apache modules that your list of commands suggest may not have been enabled. The Wiki specifies: $ sudo a2enmod rewrite cgi headers proxy_http In your list, only 'rewrite' and 'cgi' were enabled. The command "sudo apachectl -M" will list your loaded modules. I'm not expert enough to say whether or not the others are needed for Plack. Additionally, you should check the status of Perl modules in the staff interface under "About Koha"
"Perl modules". If your Perl module list is complete and up to date, then I might be inclined to do the following:
$ sudo koha-disable library $ sudo a2enmod rewrite cgi headers proxy_http $ sudo systemctl restart apache2 $ sudo koha-plack --disable libraryname $ sudo koha-plack --enable libraryname $ sudo systemctl restart apache2 $ sudo systemctl restart koha-common $ sudo systemctl status koha-common If Plack has been enabled and started, you should see a line to that effect with the last command (and in the "Server information" screen of "About Koha"): koha-common[12684]: Starting Plack daemon for library:. As I wrote before, there will also be UN-commented, Plack-specific directives in the Apache site config that refer to Koha configuration files, for example: $ sudo grep -i 'include' /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/library.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf # Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-disable.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-opac-plack.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-opac.conf Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf # Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-disable.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-intranet-plack.conf Include /etc/koha/apache-shared-intranet.conf Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf The important thing is that your instance runs, and runs well. If and when you respond to these messages, please select "Reply to all" to ensure that the Koha mailing list is included. Hypothetically, IF you're still using the BeyondTrust/Bomgar Remote Support software there at JAARS, AND you have Shell Jump access to the Koha server, AND inviting External Representatives to sessions is enabled, THEN you could securely share a shell session with me when time zones and work periods play well.

Hi Paul, you might want to also check the existence and content of the following files:
/etc/koha/apache-shared-intranet-plack.conf /etc/koha/apache-shared-opac-plack.conf
as well as their references within the file of this instance-based name:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/library.conf
If you somehow wound up with an Apache configuration that isn't being managed by the Koha tools, then it could be interfering.

Hi Paul
Today you wrote:
I thought I had set up Plack but when I checked there was no variable 'PlackEnabled' in systempreferences when I ran this query.
SELECT * FROM systempreferences WHERE variable = 'PlackEnabled';
There is no such system preference in Koha.
I ran this in the cli sudo koha-plack --enable library Plack not enabled for library OPAC Plack not enabled for library Intranet but when I run sudo koha-plack --start it says Plack already running for library
Any ideas?
There seems to be something wrong... When Plack is already running the output should look as follows (as on my Koha demo installation with instance "koha" and Plack running):
$ sudo koha-plack --enable koha Plack already enabled for koha OPAC Plack already enabled for koha Intranet $ sudo koha-plack --start koha Error: Plack already running for koha: failed! $ sudo koha-plack --status koha Plack running for koha:.
The following shows the instances with Plack enabled and the instances with Plack disabled:
$ sudo koha-list --plack koha $ sudo koha-list --noplack
After enabling and starting Plack try restarting the Apache HTTP Server, according to some mailinglist threads it seems to have helped some in the past. Thus:
$ sudo koha-plack --enable koha $ sudo koha-plack --start koha $ sudo systemctl restart apache2
And again: Have you checked the log files in directory "/var/log/koha/instancename"? There should be various logfile names starting with plack...

Have you checked the log files in directory "/var/log/koha"?
Have you set up Plack as described here?

Hope this helps.
