[EP-tech] Re: Issues with installing eprints on Ubuntu 12.04

So, I've edited my hosts file to map to the loop back IP on the server but no luck. I should point out that I am trying the access the Eprints server from the web browser on another system. I wonder how the mapping will work on this other system when its DNS has no way of relating ubuntu.localdomain.com to the server's IP.

Please clarify.

Thanks a lot Andrew. 

Cheers

Okay, so your host file is a text document that you can use to force web addresses to map to a specific IP. When you set up EPrints you have to specify the domain that it’s going to sit on; I used eprints.localhost and then had to edit this hosts file to tell Apache to look at 127.0.1.1 for eprints.localhost. There’s a beginners guide here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/27350/beginner-geek-how-to-edit-your-hosts-file/  and you’ll want to open it in gedit with either the root user or via sudo.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad someone else has experienced this problem. :)

Please can you explain what you mean by "add EPrints to my hosts file"

Cheers

Hi Niyi,

I had a problem with this the other week setting up EPrints on a Virtual box – there’s a step in the installation that I found easy to miss which involves adding EPrints to your hosts file. For the record, I set my local version up on eprints.localhost.

Hope that helps!

Subject: [EP-tech] Issues with installing eprints on Ubuntu 12.04

Hello everyone,

I hope this is the right place to raise this but i'm having some issues with installing eprints on Ubuntu 12.04.

I have followed all the information here http://sirls.arizona.edu/sites/sirls.arizona.edu/files/EPrintsInstall.pdf about 3 times but I keep getting "It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet" when I login to http://<my-eprint-ip>

Please help

Thank you
