The “worker-output.log” is normally under /var/log/koha/instance_name_of_koha/

I tried Mengü's suggestion of editing manage-marc-import.pl <http://manage-marc-import.pl> , to no avail. Still hangs at enqueuement; no messages, no errors, simply hangs and spins my CPU into a frenzy. Responses to George's message below:

Hi Michael,
Could you check the following things:
1) if your rabbitmq-server is running ?
Yes.
1.1) if yes, then check if the cluster of nodes in rabbit exist , the command is:
rabbitmqctl cluster_status
Cluster status of node rabbit at kiko ...
Basics
Cluster name: rabbit at kiko
Disk Nodes
rabbit at kiko
Running Nodes
rabbit at kiko

rabbit at kiko: RabbitMQ 3.9.21 on Erlang 24.3.4.2

1.1.1) if not shows you something in json format you can try to start it with command
rabbitmqctl start_app
N/A, rabbitmq is already running.
1.2 ) If no , start it and check the logs from your rabbitmq-server at /var/log/rabbitmq/ and check if the service is start it normally .
N/A, rabbitmq is already running.
2) check the worker-output.log on your koha if koha write there something and have koha connection with rabbit server .
I cannot find a file called "worker-output.log" anywhere in my Alma installation.
Best Regards,
George

Hi Cindy, apologies for the double-response: I had unsubscribed from the koha list so my response didn't get added to the thread. I wanted to remedy that, and also say that, because I had unsubscribed, I missed Mengü's suggestion of updating manage-marc-import.pl <http://manage-marc-import.pl> . I am eager to try that fix and will report back later today or tomorrow with my findings. Here's my original response to Cindy before re-subscribing to to the koha list:
Yes, my koha-conf.xml does contain that block because I added it during the initial setup. (You're right, it wasn't there originally.)
However, it doesn't help; I still cannot import batch bib records in Koha
22.11 the way I could in Koha 22.05. The enqueuement hangs and sends my cpu through the roof until I navigate away from that page. I've gotten one off-list suggestion that upgrading to the newest Koha fixes the problem.
Unfortunately for me, I don't really have time for that right now, so I have (at least temporarily) abandoned my efforts with Koha.
Thanks for your suggestion!
Bests,
Michael
