[Koha] Error after upgrading to latest version of Koha (16.11.08)

[Marc Véron]

Hi George,

Your answer went to the digest, I copy it here to keep the messages 
together.

Questions:

Is plack started for your Koha instance?
koha-plack --start <instance name>

What happens if you do the following?

- log in to staff client as the database user ( koha_<instance name> )
- create a new user, give it superlibrarian permissions
- log out
- log in to staff client as the user you just created
- log in to OPAC as the same user

Marc

Hi Marc,

I cleared the cookies in the browser (using Chrome latest version on Ubuntu
16.04 LTS and MariaDB)

Memcached was not installed so I installed it and started it.

Plack did not install so I went through the process of setting up Placek
and restarting apache.

On the staff client if I log in as the master user koha_<instance name>, I
do get a menu. When I select functions at that menu it takes me to the
login screen. If I log in with my patron credentials (which I set for all
librarian functions), I still get the error message I reported earlier.
However, the line number is now 829 in the same module. The OPAC reports
the same error in line 492 as before.

I have been in the 16.07 series for some time. I can send the database
backup if it will help isolate the upgrade issues. It was created prior to
the upgrade on April 26, 2017. We have been down since April 26.
