Hi Mitocariu Emilian,

The way that the admin search for EPrints, (i.e. the one linked of "Search Items" on the admin page), changes somewhat between earlier and the latest versions of EPrints 3.3.  The easiest way for me or others to advise would be if you could post a copy of /usr/share/eprints3/lib/cfg.d/eprint_search_staff.pl.

Hello,

I'm trying to migrate the data from an old eprints server (ubuntu 10.04, eprints 3.3.7) to a new one (ubuntu 16.04, eprints 3.3.15). Maybe worth mentioning i had some problems when trying to install eprints and i used the steps from here http://www.eprints.org/tech.php/22140/attachment/message.html to successfully install it.

I moved the repository to the new server, but when i use the import script on the XML I exported from the old server, i get this error:

eprints@myserver:~/bin$ ./import library --verbose --migration archive XML library.xml

I also tried the method on your wiki (https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Moving_a_repository) with the mysqldump but when i do "./bin/epadmin upgrade library" i get the same error.

If you have any idea what the problem might be i would be very glad.

Thank you.
