Re: [EP-tech] Problems with view generation: EPrints System Error

Hi Alan,
No idea why our system generates these files, there are even more for this one author. I would have expected to get just 
http://eref.uni-bayreuth.de/view/person/Kaiser=3AMario.html

I'll have to check my scripts for probable causes.

Thanks for this tip.

Verena

Hi Verena,

Another thing to possibly look at:
You appear to have (accessible in the English version of the site)
http://eref.uni-bayreuth.de/view/person/Kaiser=3AMario.html,
http://eref.uni-bayreuth.de/view/person/Kaiser=3AMario=3A.html,
http://eref.uni-bayreuth.de/view/person/Kaiser=3AMario=3A=3A.html

and possibly more.  I don't know If your system is actually generating an HTML file for each of those variants, for each user, in both languages, but that may be part of the issue with the 300 000 + files?

Regards,
Alan

Hi Martin,

The deletion of older files is definitely a good idea, I'm looking at that now.

Not sure about the --generate menus option, but I'm going to try it out with our Eprints test repository.

Thanks!

Verena
