[Koha] Koha 3.20 and Plack Server

[Craig Butosi]

Hi all,

Progress. James' suggestion to change the && instances to && in opac-plack.sh (as well as intranet-plack.sh, unlock-intranet-plack.sh and unlock-opac-plack.sh) did the trick - no more syntax errors. However, my output after restarting koha-common is now:

root at vps43351:~service koha-common restart
* Restarting Koha ILS koha-common

This looks like a permissions issue, but I am unsure about how to properly correct this as I thought that working in root would avoid any such issue. Both error logs have root as their owner with 644 permission (the only other owner being library-koha on my server)

SO,

At this point, I have the following outcomes:

1. Visiting library.craigbutosi.ca:5000 gives an "unable to connect" browser page (apache configuration issue perhaps?);
2. Running plackup to test Plack using

     KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib sudo -u library-koha -E plackup --reload /usr/share/koha/misc/plack/koha.psgi

and then visiting library.craigbutosi.ca:5000 leads to a (never before seen) "not found" message on the page; the command-line output after running plackup is

    174.118.34.28 - - [04/Oct/2015:22:35:38 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 9 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0"

I get the impression that I need to configure my apache sites file for a redirect, as mentioned on http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Plack, no?

Thanks for your time everyone!

I followed the (somewhat outdated) instructions here: http://www.generalthreat.com/2013/04/serving-koha-common-with-plack/ and made sure that my pathways were corrected in the scripts. I'm using the port 5000 option rather than the unix socket option. After restarting koha-common, I received the following output:

I'm not entirely sure whether there is a syntax error in the code; everything looks correct, but I could be missing something here. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to proceed? I'd love to get Plack up and running to see the performance difference. If there's a better way to install Plack or configure it for 3.20, I am all ears too!

hmm, i think line 5 should be..
test ! -z "$1" && site=$1 && shift

not...
test ! -z "$1" && site=$1 && shift
