[EP-tech] Re: Importing files from another system

Maybe you are missing some other field (filename for instance, although it's already in url)?

This worked for me:

  <documents>
  <document>
    <files>
      <file>
        <datasetid>document</datasetid>
        <filename>my_file.jpg</filename>
        <mime_type>image/jpeg</mime_type>
        <url>file:///path_to/my_file.jpg</url>
      </file>
    </files>
    <format>image/jpeg</format>
    <language>en</language>
    <security>public</security>
    <license>cc_by</license>
    <content>published</content>
  </document>
  </documents>

Cheers,

	Jose

Yep - that didn't work either :o\

According to this:
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Import_From_URL
I was also missing a <files> around the <file>.
I've added that and re-tried all the options, so far none work :o\

Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
John

Have you tried for local files

	<url>file:///path_to_file</url>

?

Nothing silly in the verbose output.

I can wget the file over http (when trying the http method), but even using the file from the local filesystem doesn't work :o\

run the command with --verbose --verbose and try to see what happen. Can you go to port 80 from the server to another server? Check your firewall settings.
