Re: [EP-tech] Move repository

Thanks a lot for your thorough instructions Kahena.

I followed the steps you lined out, and everything seems to be working as a charm. It is not a live system, as I am in the process of moving to a new VPS, which has the ability to take snapshots.

I will report back, if I encounter any side effects.

All the best..

Hi Ian,

 

I am not sure if you have had any success yet, but you can try the following which I think should work on eprints versions >=3.3.11.

 

Ideally, you should test on a non-production system and/or ensure you have a backup in place to fully restore if this does not work.

 

Please also note that $EPRINTS_HOME refers to wherever your eprints installation resides eg. /usr/share/eprints3/

 

I hope this helps; please let us know how you get on.

$EPRINTS_HOME/bin/epadmin config_core *repository_id*

 

->where *repository_id* = your repository id

-> make the changes to the eprints hostname here. The old ones will be presented as the defaults

If you manually edited myrepo.conf you will lose those changes here.
