Re: [EP-tech] apache fails to start eprints

Hi Herbert,
>From your email, you've got two archives: bin and eprints3 (is that correct?).
If you test each individually, is either OK?
>bin/epadmin test bin
>bin/epadmin test eprints3

Are the timestamps on any of the files in ~/archives/*/cfg/, or ~/lib/ recent (has anyone changed anything / added anything through the Bazaar)?

I think this additional piece of error message:
"Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at (eval 90) line 13."
is useful, but trying to get from there, to the exact problem is tricky.

As this looks to be related to a metafield, you could try something like:
> grep -rin 'field' lib archives/*/cfg/ | grep '13:'
Which will find 'field' in config files, and show any that appear on line 13 of a config file.

If you're familiar with the Perl debugger, you could run the 'epadmin test'  command with that?

Cheers,
John

Hello John,

thanks for your quick response.

mycomputer # locate field_property_defaults.pl

/opt/eprints3/lib/defaultcfg/cfg.d/field_property_defaults.pl
/storage/plus/archives/bin/cfg/cfg.d/field_property_defaults.pl
/storage/plus/archives/eprints3/cfg/cfg.d/field_property_defaults.pl

Those files are identical, even though the first one comes from the most
recent eprints version.

I should perhaps mention that I symlink my eprints3 archive
to the /storage partition from /opt.


> What happens if you run:

That's similar to what the apache logs tell me

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at (eval 90)
line 13. Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference
at /opt/eprints3/bin/../perl_lib/EPrints/MetaField.pm line 252.

Best,

h.h.
