A few things here: * do you have the plugin directory defined in koha-conf.xml, a la <pluginsdir>/var/lib/koha/instance/plugins</pluginsdir>
* are the directories listed above owned and grouped into instance-koha (instance will be the name of your instance) * are the permissions correct for that directory *and* it's subdirectories (for plugins, usually 755 is good) Package installs, except in exceptional and highly non-standard circumstances, don't use the www-data user. Use the system user koha-create created for you, as that's what your instance is running with (you can see the user it's using in /etc/apache2/sites-available/instance.conf under AssignUserID) I hope this helps.
