[Koha] Koha Plugin Error: Cannot unpack file to the plugins directory. Please verify that the Apache user can write to the plugins directory.

[Ashok Francis]

Dear All,

I need your help in koha plugin setup.

I followed this blog for koha plugin cover flow.
http://kohageek.blogspot.com/search/label/plugins I followed all the steps.
But When I upload the plugin, I am getting the following error.


*Cannot unpack file to the plugins directory.Please verify that the Apache
user can write to the plugins directory.*


Please help me to fix the problem.

Ashok.

Ashok,

You are following out-dated instructions. Vimal's blog post which was
useful when published it, refers to way things were back in v 3.12 which is
like 11 versions OR 5+ years old.

Things have changed. Please refer to the "Plugin system" section of your
Koha user manual.

For 18.05 the relevant instructions are available at
https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/html/14_plugins.html

cheers,

Thank you so much for your email.

I followed the link that you have sent. When I checked the page "about
koha" I have following warning in this page.
XML configuration file
*Warning* You are missing the <log4perl_conf> entry in your koha-conf.xml
file. Please add it, pointing to the log4perl.conf file for your Koha
instance.
*Warning* You are missing the <upload_path> entry in your koha-conf.xml
file. Please add it, pointing to the configured file upload directory for
your Koha instance.


But I have no idea how to fix the problem. Can you please help me ?

Thank you,

Ashok.

XML configuration file
*Warning* You are missing the <log4perl_conf> entry in your koha-conf.xml

^^^ this you can ignore.

*Warning* You are missing the <upload_path> entry in your koha-conf.xml

file. Please add it, pointing to the configured file upload directory for
your Koha instance.

^^^ this you need to fix.

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
