[Koha] Koha 16.11.04 - Setting a template cache directory

[Doug Dearden]

Hi Prof,

Here is what I did.  I have multiple instances/sites running, if you have more than one instance do this for each one.
Login to a terminal session on your server as a regular user (koha, not root)
cd /etc/koha/sites/(instance name)
sudo nano koha-conf.xml   This brings up the editor nano and loads the koha-conf.xml file into it.  Use a different editor if you are more familiar with it.  Scroll down to the bottom of the file.  Near the bottom you should see the tag </config>.  Add a line right above that that reads:
<template_cache_dir>/tmp/yourinstancename</template_cache_dir> 
replacing yourinstancename with the instance/site name.  Save the file (in nano, Ctrl-o then Ctrl-x to exit).  Repeat for each instance/site you have.
Using your browser go to the staff interface for the site in question.  Reload the About page.  The warning should be gone.  Check the OPAC also.
If things don't load normally or you get an error, go back and check your spelling.  A typo will break things. ;)
Back in your terminal session
cd /tmp
ls -all
You should see your instance names listed.  When you are happy that all is well:
exit

Best,

Hello!
Could anyone please point me to a simple step by step instruction to
set <template_cache_dir> entry in my koha-conf.xml file?
Thank you in advance...
