[EP-tech] Re: generate_views - no list pages...

OK, I've got the Ubuntu nicely running 14.04, and using eprints 3.3.12

I'd done the misc. apache 2.4 patches to sort out the errors/warnings as
suggested in http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/thread-19050.html

Re-generated views appears to be OK.  Restart apache.

But still, the sub-pages such as /view/year/2005.html show as 404 - not
being dynamically built when requested, from what I read from John below.

No clues from the apache access or error logs (apart from error.log
reporting that "script
'/usr/share/eprints3/archives/test/html/en/view/year/2005.html' not
found or unable to stat, referer: http://research.i.ac.nz/view/year/";

In the year folder, index.html gets generated and written to disk with
generate_views, but 2005.html does not (as it is created 'on the fly'?)
 But I note that though there is an (empty) index.template file, there
is no 2005.template file.  Should there necessarily be?

I'm thinking there must be some 'enabling' that I need to do for those
views before the sub-pages will generate as they should?  But
(obviously) new to the application, too!

Glad you're enjoying your experiences so far!

If your version of Ubuntu shipped with Apache 2.4, this will be useful: http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/thread-19050.html
If you have any other questions, you know where to ask!

Cheers,
John

Thank you for that, John...

I wasn't aware the .html (such as your 2013.html) was glued together
when requested - I'd assumed they were built (static) in the same was as
the index.html files.

So I seem to have all the same sort of files as you - but still getting
the 404.

Error logs for apache 'point' at what would be the .html, in that same
directory, but can't find it:

script '/usr/share/eprints3/archives/test/html/en/view/year/2005.html'
not found or unable to stat, referer: http://research.i.ac.nz/view/year/

I've got some updating of the server to do tomorrow, so may wait until
that is all stabilised before worrying with it much more...

So far, certainly enjoying eprints - a very mature product with most all
of the features my polytechnic is looking for, I think...

Hi Nick,
Have you created any of these views since last restarting Apache (if so, do a restart and check again)?

I think the lack of the '.html' pages is normal - they are glued together with the template when requested.
In our ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/html/en/view/year directory, we have (for 2013):
2013.default.export
2013.default.include
2013.default.page
2013.default.title
2013.default.title.textonly
2013.export
2013.include
2013.page
2013.title
2013.title.textonly
2013.type.export
2013.type.include
2013.type.page
2013.type.title
2013.type.title.textonly

If that doesn't help, look in the Apache access/error logs and see if the path reported for the 404 response matches where the files live on disk.

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech] generate_views - no list pages...

Hi

New to the list, and to eprints.  I've spent time over the weekend
getting to know the structure of the application, so have a fair idea of
how things are working, but have hit a 'wall'.

When I use generate_views <rep name> it does create the various
index.html pages for creators, divisions, subjects, years - as it should.

It creates the 'precursor' pages for the specific lists, such as
*.export, *.include, *.page, *.title, *.title.textonly - but it doesn't
make the resulting *.html files.

In the year folder, for instance, I have all of those for the (one year)
I have in the database: 2005 (as well as equivalent pages for
2005.default and 2005.type - but the only .html file in that folder is
the index.html

When you click, you just get the 404...

Am I missing something pretty obvious here?  As it getting to the
immediate step before, I thought maybe permissions?  But can't see
anything odd there - and it *is* creating the index.html, so can't see
that could be it.

But maybe someone can put me on the right track!

EPrints Release: 3.3.12
Database Driver: EPrints::Database::mysql [DBI 1.609, DBD::mysql 4.012]
Database Server Version: MySQL 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10-log

The underlying Ubuntu is several steps old, but can't see that as
significant?

Thanks...
