Hello John,

Hi Gunnar,

It might also be worth looking in
[EPRINTS_ROOT]/archives/[ARCHIVE_ID]/cfg/cfg.d/20_baseurls.pl - maybe compare
it with the default
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feprints%2Feprints%2Fblob%2F3.3%2Flib%2Fdefaultcfg%2Fcfg.d%2F20_baseurls.pl&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ce55e0eb78f73432a304408dd641a4e08%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638776786427411713%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C80000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XJF35iEQUhdtRQMiayvxP9YmOK0hPcjDLbHnkfd5oL4%3D&reserved=0

If your repository was created a while ago on e.g. v3.3.10, the logic in that
file might prefer http over https.

There is also a line in that file which sets the base_url, which will overwrite
the value you set in 10_core.pl.


This repository was created somewhere in 2012, so... quite likely! However, I
had already updated the values in 20_baseurls as well :-\


You can check the calculated values of all the config options using this
(replace EPRINTS_ROOT and ARCHIVE_ID with correct values):

perl -IEPRINTS_ROOT/perl_lib -e 'use EPrints; use Data::Dumper; $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 2; $s = new EPrints::Session( 1, "ARCHIVE_ID", 0 ); print Dumper( $s->{config} );'


Thanks for this snippet,it is most interesting!


It will dump a lot of data out (the EPrints session has a lot in it!), so maybe
pipe the output into a file or through 'less'.
The 'Maxdepth' will limit the amount of info. The things you're interested in -
URLs etc. should all live at the top config level, so it should show you useful
info.


Interesting indeed! However... what can I do now that I have confirmed this?

I found repeated URLs for my domain with an http:// protocol, for values that I
know I have declared to be https (and must be, I suppose, overwritten further
down the stack..?)

At least, I get:

However, I'm *sure* they are not part of my declared configuration: There is not
a single /http:.*ru.iiec/ under cfg/cfg.d. Where else should I be looking?
