RE: [EP-tech] Basic issues

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi Will,
I took a quick look at your install – but you fixed it already! 😊

One thing I did note was the _javascript_ vars eprints_http_root and eprints_http_cgiroot arew both pointing to http rather than https.

It looks like you’re redirecting http to https, so the ‘HTTPS Only’ advice in here: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Simplified_HTTPS_Configuration might be useful.

 

The tech list is available here: https://www.eprints.org/eptech/

I’ve corrected one errant link on this page: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Contact .

 

I can’t correct the ‘Archive’ link in the mail-list software itself though – someone in Southampton will need to do that.

 

Cheers,

John

Hi

 

I found the problem with accessing my site – I use NextDNS and simply needed to add my domain to the Allow list, so it was a simple browser issue at my end.

 

So, this thread is only remaining to report the dead links that are part of the eprints-tech stuff

Hi

 

I have installed eprints 3.4 at https://arcomabstracts.com/

 

In familiarizing myself with the configuration and operation of this, I am stumbling into some pretty basic issues that I cannot solve by myself. The most serious is that Firefox and other security conscious browsers cannot even open the site. I can open it in Chrome, and in Edge, on a desktop PC. I cannot open it in any browser on my Android phone. I cannot find what is causing these security issues. Do you have any suggestion, please?

In particular, the list archive for the tech mailing list throws a 404 error - https://www.eprints.org/tech.php/

 

Currently, I am blocked at every turn!
