This looks OK.

If you don't see anything then Plack is not enabled.

This is not correct - it seems it was not possible to enable Plack.

You never mentioned your operating system or the Koha version you 
installed. Did you follow these instructions when installing Koha?
* https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian

Today David Liddle wrote in his e-mail to you:

"You might want to also check the existence and content of the following 
files:

/etc/koha/apache-shared-intranet-plack.conf
/etc/koha/apache-shared-opac-plack.conf

as well as their references within the file of this instance-based name:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/library.conf

If you somehow wound up with an Apache configuration that isn't being
managed by the Koha tools, then it could be interfering."

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael
