Hi Karam, Hey, thanks for writing back. I discovered the solution after playing with another respondent's recommendations—I had created two instances in my relatively uninformed setup (discovered them through sudo koha-list) and the one I was not aware of worked first time.
Many thanks—I would have worked it out from your support if I hadn't cracked it already.
