Hello,
we have tested plack a little further. We have achieved much more stability but are still encountering very serious bugs, before filing a report for each of them, i would like to ask here whether it does sound like something that is happening because of plack, and whether this has been identified before :
- A vast majority of records are giving a "The record you requested does not exist" message when trying to display the detailed record, even though the record does seem to exist in the database, and i was even able to check out items linked to said record.
- trying to place a reservation and a document from a result list results in an error, maybe unsurprisingly given the above :
Can't call method "field" on an undefined value at /home/koha/src/C4/Items.pm line 1625.
at /usr/share/perl/5.18/CGI/Carp.pm line 378
- i noticed a delay between changing circulation rules and seeing them applied when checking out items (the rule was saying i could borrow 13 items, i brought it down to 2, but was then able to checkout 3 items without getting a notice. Shortly after i was getting proper notices telling me i was exceeding the quota)
- There were numerous encoding problems with non ascii characters, this might be linked to Bug 13815 - plack loose CGI qw(-utf8) flag creating incorrect utf-8 encoding everywhere; but this was not just patrons. Cataloging frameworks, authorised values, fund names were all affected.
- exporting data from cgi-bin/koha/tools/export.pl also lead to a crash, which seems to be linked to UTF-8 issue too:
:11: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0x80 0x3C 0x2F 0x73
<subfield code="p">5.40�</subfield>
^
at /home/koha/src/tools/export.pl line 683
Let me know what seems geniunely new and plack related to you and i will file the bugs.
Thanks!

Hello all,
we have been talking about plack quite a lot in the last hackfest, and i must say i am not that comfortable with the technical aspects and hardly understand what the issues are, but...
I tried it with the help of our sysops a couple days ago, and i must say koha does feel *really* fast with plack enabled. If you havent yet, you should try. It really made me realize why this should be a priority for us to get it to work.
Now, it turns out it really doesn't work for us. It keeps crashing every few minutes. We haven't had time to investigate any further, but before pouring more time in this i wanted to know whether anyone was using it seriously (including for the staff interface), and what your conclusions are. Importantly, i would also like to know more about the recommended configuration, and the areas we should have a close look at in our set up.
Thanks for your advice!
