[EP-tech] Re: EPrints Bazaar down?

Thanks - having gone round and round in circles with this, I've finally found that adding 

SetEnv http_proxy [proxy address]

to the archive apache .conf file has done the trick.

Thanks for all your help!

This might be the best answer:

There may be other ways to achieve this - on an old Solaris server I used to have an 'envvars' file in my apache/bin directory (e.g. not in the EPrints directory).
This contained the lines:
http_proxy=http://wherever.your.proxy.is:3128
export http_proxy

Looking at the code for EPM (perl_lib/EPrints/EPM/Source.pm), it checks for 'HTTP_proxy' - I'm not sure if the case matters in this instance...

Cheers,
John

Have now established with the networks team that we needed to change the
environment variables to use the web proxy, but while this has enabled
access when I use wget, EPrints is still not picking it up. Is there
another setting I need to change in EPrints to get this to work?

Yes, it seems that our networks team made some changes which are causing
the problem.

They now want to know what ports and protocols the bazaar uses - is
there an obvious way of determining this?  I'm sorry if this is a
totally silly question...

Has anything changed on your server recently?
I used to get a similar thing on a dev server that had to go via a proxy.

Try doing a wget from the server - to see if it can see the bazaar.
If you can, but it's not accessible vie EPrints (therefore Apache), you may need to configure something in the Apache.

It shouldn't have just stopped for no reason - either something has been updated/enforced on your server; something that was in the network pathway is no longer there (or not open to your server) - e.g. a proxy, or something else...

Cheers,
John

Access via Eprints.  The website seems to work just fine.

On the Available page, there's usually a list of available plugins, but
I'm getting nothing.  Searching is resulting in an error:

An error occurred while talking to the EPM source EPrints Bazaar

Seems to be OK here.
Are you talking about direct access to it (http://bazaar.eprints.org/ ), or access via your local install of EPrints (Admin -> System Tools -> EPrints Bazaar)?

Cheers,
John

Hello all,

Is it just me or is the EPrints Bazaar down for everyone?
