Re: [EP-tech] Admin Screen JavaScript Problem

Hi James,

"appeared to be some eprints updates amongst them."

Do you mean you have EPrints installed as an OS (RPM or Deb) package?  If so there may be a number of issues if EPrints source code has been updated.  The first thing I would do is check to see if there are any updates required to the database:

bin/epadmin update_dry_run REPOID

If these looks sane then run "epadmin update REPOID" to actually do the update.

If you are getting Internal server error messages you can usually see them in the webserver error log files. As I assume you have HTTPS enabled this will likely be in the ssl_error_log or a similarly named file. (Check what you have set in your archive's ssl/securevhost.conf file).

It may be that you need to tinker with the ingredients included fro EPrints.  One requirement of upgrading an existing EPrints 3.4 repository to 3.4.4 is to add the prototypejs ingredient to flavours/pub_lib/inc.  This the first step in trying to make EPrints _javascript_ API agnostic and ultimately replace EPrints underlying _javascript_ library (Prototype) either with a more commonly used JS library or just to use native JS.

I am not sure what would be causing PNG images to give internal server errors that does seem very odd.  Hopefully the error messages in the webserver log files will explain.

Regards

David Newman

Hi All,

I've just applied some Ubuntu updates and to my horror noticed there appeared to be some eprints updates amongst them.

Now the page where I login to edit an eprint or upload files etc. is messed up. All of the tabs (Preview, Details, Actions, Messages, History and Issues) show all of their content under each tab. Eg. under details I see the preview, details, actions and so on. Same if I click on another tab.

It is also not allowing me to upload files. I can go through the motions of adding a file, but when I click "upload" the page appears to refresh and do nothing.

My guess is that this has introduced some _javascript_ problems. Irritatingly I think I've fixed this same problem previously.

Can anybody offer some advice on where to look? If I "inspect" the page in Crome I can see that we can't access minus.png, plus.png, warning.png etc giving a "500 (internal server error)".

Thanks,
James
