[Koha] Issue logging into staff interface [Plack log complains about missing encryption key]

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Martin,

in which file did you replace it?

You were on the right track there, but make sure to add the entry to the
koha-conf.xml file used by your koha instances/sites. You might have
changed the template instead of the used file.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
