Re: [EP-tech] Not a valid repository identifier


Hi all,

 

Found the error.  I had a “broken”/unused archive in the directory

“archives”. 

 

This archive had no virtual hosts but seems to nevertheless have wrecked havoc with Eprints.  Removing the directory only keeping “ok” eprints archives solved the issue.

 

Thank you all for providing input and suggestions!

 

Regards,

Christer

Hi,

 

The tests seems OK:

 

eprints@live02:~$ /usr/share/eprints3/bin/epadmin test pub5

Everything seems OK.

eprints@live02:~$ /usr/share/eprints3/bin/epadmin test stud5

Subroutine make_header redefined at /usr/share/eprints3/archives/stud5/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Export/UppSokSet.pm line 10.

Everything seems OK.

eprints@live02:~$ /usr/share/eprints3/bin/epadmin test ex

Everything seems OK.

 

The warning for stud5 is as it should be.

 

Pub5 and ex do not work, stud5 works.

The command I run first when something like this happens is:

[EPRINTS_ROOT]/bin/epadmin test

 

If you have multiple archives, you can also test just one:

[EPRINTS_ROOT]/bin/epadmin test ARCHIVE_ID

 

This will flag any issues with the EPrints config (such as a missing semi-colon as suggested below).

 

Cheers,

John

A thought – it might just be when you copied the code into the email, but does your 10_core.pl file have a semi-colon on the end of the last line in the broken repository?

 

$c->{http_root} = undef

 

?

Cheers,

Alan

Hi,

 

Eprints 3.3.14/Ubuntu 12LTS.

 

I have made something stupid in my settings, probably in Apache.  I have two repositories on a server, pub5 and stud5.  Both worked excellently but suddenly one stopped working (yes, I did something in some Apache/SSL setting but can’t figure out what).

 

Now I cannot access and pages and the log explains why:

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------- EPrints System Error ----------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------

'pub5' is not a valid repository identifier:

PerlSetVar EPrints_ArchiveID pub5

------------------------------------------------------------------

EPrints System Error inducing stack dump

at /usr/share/eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints.pm line 147

        EPrints::abort('EPrints') called at /usr/share/eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints/Apache/Rewrite.pm line 62

        EPrints::Apache::Rewrite::handler('Apache2::RequestRec=SCALAR(0x7f5d18e9f888)') called at -e line 0

        eval {...} called at -e line 0

 

 

This is very weird as the repository is indeed pub5. So I assume some setting somewhere has been set wrong.

 

Problem is that I cannot find/understand what I have done.  Both repos have virtual host files looking like:

 

# START

<VirtualHost *:443>

SSLEngine on

  ServerName pub.epsilon.slu.se

 

  ServerAdmin eprints-adm@bib.slu.se

 

SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/star_epsilon_slu_se.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/star.epsilon.slu.se.key

SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/DigiCertCA.crt

 

PerlTransHandler +EPrints::Apache::Rewrite

 

  <Location "">

    PerlSetVar EPrints_ArchiveID pub5

    PerlSetVar EPrints_Secure yes

 

    Options +ExecCGI

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

  </Location>

 

  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/pub_ssl_error.log

  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/pub_ssl_access.log combined

  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE

  RewriteRule .* - [F]

 

  PerlTransHandler +EPrints::Apache::Rewrite

</VirtualHost>

# END

 

That is, one file have ServerName= pub.epsilon.slu.se and REPOID=pub5, the other stud.epsilon.slu.se with REPOID=stud5.  If I in the failing pub5-config file choose the other repo-id, then it works (so to me that means that the virtual hosts file are ok).  I then assumed that the problem is the REPO/cfg/cfg.d/10_core.pl files, but these are short and simple:

 

$c->{aliases} = [];

$c->{securehost} = 'pub.epsilon.slu.se';

$c->{secureport} = 443;

$c->{http_root} = undef

 

And with host 'stud.epsilon.slu.se' for the other (working repo).

 

/usr/share/eprints3/bin/epadmin test pub5

Everything seems OK.

 

I have also re-genreated all static pages.

 

Any suggestion what I have missed to check/change is most welcome.  Please let me know!

 

Regards,

Christer
