The error is because you have managed to mess up your instance's
koha-conf.xml :-(

The easiest way IMHO would be generate a dummy instance and copy over the
relevant part of the plugin from the new dummy instance's koha-conf.xml and
changing the instance reference to your actual instance when you do the
overwrite.

Hope this helps
