> You are awesome

:o) Thank you - glad I could help!

 

In my initial response I mentioned "deal with requests for the URLs with …/usr/share/eprints3/data/… in them by redirecting them (I can show you how)".

 

This is useful if anyone has bookmarked records with the old URL format, or anything that has harvested your repository before you fixed stuff.

 

I've created the file as a Gist - as the email list sometimes changes some characters:

https://gist.github.com/jesusbagpuss/feae833641fcaa056a45771e3c10f922

 

The code is copied below - but it's probably safer to use the link above.

It uses the 'EP_TRIGGER_URL_REWRITE' - there's an example of this in <eprints_root>/archives/<archiveid>cfg/cfg.d/rewrite_url_demo.pl, or if this file doesn't exist, look in <eprints_root>/lib/defaultcfg/cfg.d/rewrite_url_demo.pl

 

To implement the URL rewrites, create a file:

<eprints_root>/archives/<archiveid>/cfg/cfg.d/z_rewrite_old_urls.pl

And save the code into it.

 

Test the configuration:

<eprints_root>/bin/epadmin test <archiveid>

This should not return any errors.

Restart Apache.

Test a url that contains the old 'usr/share/eprints3/data' path e.g.

http://eprints.iliauni.edu.ge/usr/share/eprints3/data/cgi/search/advanced

or

http://eprints.iliauni.edu.ge/usr/share/eprints3/data/cgi/oai2?verb=Identify

and you should get redirected (with a 301 'Permanently moved') to the right place!

 

If there are any problems, remove the z_rewrite_old_urls.pl file and restart Apache.

 

Cheers,

John

# This is an example of how to use the URL Rewrite trigger.

# In this case, specifically an archive that was initially configured with

# a base path (url) of '/usr/share/eprints3/data' rather than '' (no default path).

#

# This file should be saved to:

# <eprints_root>/archives/<archiveid>/cfg/cfg.d/z_rewrite_old_urls.pl

#

# This trigger will rewrite any requests that match:

# <host>/usr/share/eprints3/data/<something>

# to:

# <host>/<something>

# with a permanent redirect (301 response).

#

# For info, the hash keys in %o (passed into the Trigger) are:

#                request # Apache2::RequestRec

#                   lang # e.g. 'en'

#                   args # "" or "?foo=bar"

#                urlpath # "" or "/subdir"

#                cgipath # /cgi or /subdir/cgi

#                    uri # /foo/bar - incoming request

#                 secure # boolean - true if request was https

#            return_code # set this to trigger an http response of that code

# For more info see: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Anatomy_of_a_request#EP_TRIGGER_URL_REWRITE

# or EPrints::Apache::Rewrite

 

use strict;

use EPrints::Const;

 

$c->add_trigger( EP_TRIGGER_URL_REWRITE, sub {

    my( %o ) = @_;

 

    my $old_path = "usr/share/eprints3/data";   

 

    if( my ($path) = $o{uri} =~ /^\/$old_path\/(.*?)$/ )

    {

        EPrints::Apache::AnApache::send_status_line( $o{request}, 301, "Moved Permanently" );

        EPrints::Apache::AnApache::header_out( $o{request}, "Location", "/$path".$o{args}  );

        EPrints::Apache::AnApache::send_http_header( $o{request} );

 

        ${$o{return_code}} = EPrints::Const::DONE;

        return EP_TRIGGER_DONE;

 

    }

 

    # if we're not doing anything, don't return anything, the request will continue as normal.

});
