A few things here: * do you have the plugin directory defined in koha-conf.xml, a la <pluginsdir>/var/lib/koha/instance/plugins</pluginsdir> * are the directories listed above owned and grouped into instance-koha (instance will be the name of your instance) * are the permissions correct for that directory *and* it's subdirectories (for plugins, usually 755 is good) Package installs, except in exceptional and highly non-standard circumstances, don't use the www-data user. Use the system user koha-create created for you, as that's what your instance is running with (you can see the user it's using in /etc/apache2/sites-available/instance.conf under AssignUserID) I hope this helps.

Hi Satish,

What you probably need to do is to change the ownership of the directories to be whatever user identity the apache server is running with. You can find this with a command like:

# ps -ef | grep apache

On my Debian system the user is 'www-data'

Then change the ownership of the directories accordingly.

Hope this helps,

Chris Brown

Hi,

With Koha 17.11.06.000 On L-Ubuntu 16,04 Desktop from package installation method,

I am getting follwoing error while uploading .kpz file at Home › Tools › Plugins.

*Cannot unpack file to the plugins directory.Please verify that the Apache user can write to the plugins directory.*

What is the right permission ?? . As a root user, I have created plugins directory

drwxr-xr-x 6 gechlibrary-koha gechlibrary-koha 4096 Jun 8 22:48 gechlibrary drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 12 17:28 plugins

I tried to change, chown -R gechlibrary-koha:gechlibrary-koha /var/lib/koha/plugins/

drwxr-xr-x 6 gechlibrary-koha gechlibrary-koha 4096 Jun 8 22:48 gechlibrary drwxr-xr-x 2 gechlibrary-koha gechlibrary-koha 4096 Jun 12 17:28 plugins

Alias /plugin/ "/var/lib/koha/plugins/" is updated in /etc/apache2/sites-available/gechlibrary.conf

In both cases, I am not able to to perform upload plugin.

Please help.
