RE: [EP-tech] Help with redirect loops in EPrints 3.3.16

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

Hi Gunnar,
The 'frontpage' URL is probably an easy one to trace.
It gets set in the EPrints::Repository module (unless explicitly declared in the config somewhere):
$config->{"frontpage"} ||= $config->{"http_url"} . "/";
so trying to trace how/where 'http_url' is getting set in the archive's cfg.d directory is probably the next step.

I would grep through the ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/ directory for 'http_url' and/or 'http:' - in case there is something that is setting e.g.
 $c->{http_url} = 'http://'.$c->{hostname};
which your search might not have picked up.

Cheers,
John

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

Thanks for this snippet,it is most interesting!

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?
