This error appears if your Omeka job queue is not correctly configured. You can verify this by trying other plugins that also use the job queue, such as CSV Import.

To correct the configured PHP path, open application/config/config.ini in your Omeka installation and manually set its background.php.path.

For self-administrated setups, commonly used values for this entry include:

  • /usr/bin/php
  • /usr/bin/php-cli
  • The output of the command which php or which php-cli

For web hosting services or institutional servers, please consult your vendor or administrator for the correct path value.
