[EP-tech] Re: Unable to login after upgrading from 3.2.8 to 3.3.8

Hi Alex,
I'm getting an odd behaviour, perhaps because of a mis-configuration at the Apache level....
I run a few tests with cURL, and I noticed that when using the HTTP header 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' (note: this is sent by Firefox), your Apache server returns a 401 without content. Without that header, I get the content from EPrints as expected. I think this comes from Apache because the format of the 401 response doesn't look like EPrints'.
Check if you have mod_deflate (responsible for gzip/deflate) in your Apache/httpd conf, if so, disable it & try again. 

Seb.

Seb,

Yes, we are using a "special login" which you set up for us some months ago when we found that off-campus users could log into Eprints.

I tried:

firefox http://10.11.161.159/cgi/local_login?
firefox http://10.11.161.159/cgi/users/home?
firefox http://10.11.161.159/cgi/users/login?

All the above fail to return anything.

Also, accessing http://10.11.161.159 with IE8 results in the top half of the home page being blackened out, as you will probably be able verify for yourself.

Regards,

Alex
