My repository is EPrints based and accepts file uploads and metadata from Symplectic Elements.

 

Recently a colleague was attempting to upload a file through Elements to an existing EPrint that already contained documents. Unfortunately, Elements rejected the upload:

 

"An error occurred whilst uploading the file to the repository. Please reload the page and try again, or contact your system administrator if the problem persists."

 

Other files are still going through from Elements and for each attempted upload there is a corresponding xml file in the expected area of the repository server.

 

I have raised this as a ticket with Symplectic, but was wondering if anybody else had experienced this and might know what to do?

 

If anybody could give me some pointers as to how to solve this it would be brilliant.

 

Thanks,

James
