I've never run Koha in a production environment, but I think this is
something to with the environment variables.

Were you logged in to your server as root?

I think you need to use sudo koha-shell yourinstancename (then Koha will
have the right settings for your instance of Koha).

This should work with package installs, but if Koha was installed a
different way then I'm not sure.

Hopefully, others can comment further on how this should be done correctly,
and the location of the files (as I don't know).

(I've included your reply to me and sent to the mailing list - for some
reason the default with the general mailing list is to reply to the sender
and not reply all.)
