[EP-tech] Re: Upgrading to EPrints 3.3.12

Hi Francis,

Many thanks for your response. Yes, you're right.
I've now changed the owner and group in /etc/apache2/envars to eprints and changed the eprints files to eprints:eprints.
Apache is now running as owned by eprints, but I still get the error when I try to create a new eprint:
  "Can't retrieve item with the ID "13"
Except I'm now at number "21"
The ID is being written to the database and the document ID is written to the document folder but it won't go any further and I'm unable to create the eprint.

Thanks.
Regards,
Malcolm.

The default ownership and group is eprints.eprints. If the default is
being used then the ownership and group of the Apache should also be
eprints.eprints.

On the other hand, if you had used the --with-user option while
configuring the eprints software then the ownership and group of the
Apache should be same as the one that you had used while configuring
eprints software.

Hope this helps.
