[Koha] Can't enable Plugins

[Bob Ewart]

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#comment-form

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:

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.
