Hi Sebastien,

I have applied your patches and report success in running Eprints 3.3.12 on Ubuntu 14.04. As added benefit the URLs look much nicer now that no HTML escaping is done on non-ASCII characters. Thanks a lot for fixing this!

To give you and other users a few more details: I had a testing installation of Eprints 3.3.12 running on Ubuntu 13.04. The upgrade to Ubuntu 13.10 entails the upgrade from apache 2.2 to apache 2.4. This leads to a few problems due to the changes in the apache API which are fixed by the first three patches. The upgrade from Ubuntu 13.04 to 14.04 entails the upgrade to Perl 5.18 which in my case broke quite a bit. The symptoms are various redirection loops and errors due to undefined parameters. I figured that this was due to bad URL rewriting but couldn't find out how to fix it. Your 4th patch in your list seems to fix this. I will now start serious testing and report if I encounter more issues.

Hi all,

If needed, I added a few patches on GitHub/3.3 branch to make EPrints work over Apache v2.4:

- See last comment on https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/214  [ use of remote_ip ]
- https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/237 [ NameVirtualHost deprecated ]
- https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/236 [ Order allow,deny deprecated ]

Not directly relating to Apache v2.4 but this will also be relevant if you're using Ubuntu 14+:

- https://github.com/eprints/eprints/commit/157db0d27d423d38f9c0fc31ce47e519cd861d45 [ utf8::decode and URI parameters ]


Hopefully this will be it. I'll do more sanity checking on the use of "utf8::decode" in EPrints but the latter patch should solve most issues.

Seb.

My 14.04 already uninstall and back to 12.04, and I forget the error. But from web, I always get http 500/http 503 (also forget which one). Maybe I will try on my localhost with 14.04.

I hope you can find the solution.

I already write about this incompatible eprints on ubuntu 14. But nothing answer.

I read your email on this matter - if you could provide more information, this would be great (copy/paste of errors in Apache's error logs is usually a good start).

I'll reply to the mailing-list when I have all the required patches. I have one so far (*) :-)

Thanks for your answer,
Seb.

Right now,I restore my eprints back to 12.04. If you can solve this error..maybe I can upgrade my OS to 14.04.

Hi all,

We are aware of some issues with using EPrints on Ubuntu 14 - more
specifically Apache 2.4 as v2.4 is bringing an updated API
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/developer/new_api_2_4.html).

We are currently working at fixing those and releasing patches ASAP.

If you have experienced issues using the aforementioned configuration,
please reply to this email with any relevant information.

Thank you,
Seb.
