Hi, Thanks for your answer, Jan. I did not see anything about cookies. I compared with a test version we were using before (it's a 3.3.11 installed from binaries). Although the naming of the cookie has changed (in 3.3.12, the name contains the hostname), it seems that they are correctly set. I tracked the login process with Data::Dumper and I managed to get the connection working when using the admin account. But I had to modify (very lightly) two files. And as I am very far from being an Eprints expert, I don't like it very much... Here are the diffs (testing for empty strings in addition to the original "defined" test) : > diff --git a/cgi/users/login b/cgi/users/login > diff --git a/perl_lib/EPrints/ScreenProcessor.pm b/perl_lib/EPrints/ScreenProcessor.pmWhat do you think about that ? Did this patch hide a bad config on our server ? Thanks Gilles Le 05/03/2014 13:00, Jan Ploski a

I would start troubleshooting this by looking at Firebug's network panel and comparing the exchanged request/response sequences during login to a working configuration, paying particular attention to Host and Set-Cookie / Cookie headers. My guess is that due to some Apache misconfiguration (maybe a mismatch in hostname actually used by Apache and the one EPrints thinks it should use) cookies are not being exchanged correctly, so that you end up in some "half-logged in" state. Other than that, you can insert "use Data::Dumper; print STDERR Carp::longmess(Dumper($variable));" anywhere in the code to output a stack trace and $variable's content to Apache's log, and trace undefined values back to where they should be set.

The library team has made the choice of EPrints to manage the documents produced by our research teams. So, I am trying to install EPrints 3.3.12 on the dedicated server (the server is still in intranet zone, for now, so I can't post useful links) : * CentOS release 6.5 (Final) LSB_VERSION=base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarc * MySql 5.6.15 * Perl 5.18.2 * Apache 2.2.26 with mod_perl 2.0.8 Installation of EPrints seems OK : * "epadmin create", to create the test repository + modification of httpd.conf * import of testdata * generate_views * "indexer start" But, I still get errors when running unit_tests... * one error on 30_search.pl * fails (exists) on 84_sword.pl "1/27 Bailout called. Further testing stopped: Failed to parse http://-----.cirad.fr/sword-app/servicedocument :1: parser error : Space required after the Public Identifier" And on the web interface I run through several problems : 1. When I try to login with the admin account created during "epadmin create", I get a page "Moved" instead of the "Manage deposits" page. I have found that another user reported the same problem (http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/18174.html) but I didn't find any answer to his mail. If I go back one page, I return to the home page and I can see that the connection has been done. I am identified under the admin account... 2. If I try to edit the user profile through the "Profile" link, I get an error : "user does not exist. It may have been erased." The url of this page is http://-----.cirad.fr/cgi/users/home?screen=Workflow%3A%3AView&dataset=user&dataobj= If I tweak this URL, adding "1" at the end, I obtain the profile page... 3. On this profile page, if I click on "Edit", this produce a "500 Internal Server Error" The Apache log has a line related to this error : "Can't call method "action_buttons" on an undefined value at /opt/www/eprints-3.3.12/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Workflow/Edit.pm line 206." Note: if I don't click "Edit" but rather one of the links on field titles (as Name or User Type), I get to the edit page (http://-----.cirad.fr/cgi/users/home?screen=Workflow%3A%3AEdit&dataset=user&dataobj=1&userid=1&stage=default#name) without a problem. 4. I get the same kind of problems when trying to edit documents. From the "Manage deposits" page, I can view documents but not edit them : same "500 Internet Server Error" but with a different line in the error_log " Can't call method "render" on an undefined value at /opt/www/eprints-3.3.12/perl_lib/EPrints/Workflow.pm line 446.". As for the user editing, if I click on a title link from the view page of a document, I correctly reach the edit page. 5. Last problem. When I try to search the repository (http://-----.cirad.fr/cgi/search//simple or advanced), I get a redirection error from firefox : "The page isn't redirecting properly - Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete" Has anybody any clue or advices of things I should look at... With all my apologies for this long message... Thank you for your assistance.
