Download an appropriate EPrints Release

This feature requires EPrints version 3.2.1 or later |
This page contains notes concerning installing version EPrints 3.3 on Win32-based platforms. Windows is not a well-supported platform and these instructions are likely to go out of date, due to the complexity of getting a working Apache-Perl environment working.
Contents
Requirements
- Microsoft Windows XP or later
- Apache 2.0 or later
- MySQL 5 or later
- ModPerl 2.0 or later
For indexing and thumbnailing you will also need:
- ImageMagick
- xpdf (for the pdftotext utility)
- GNU Win32 tools
Download EPrints Windows Installation Package (MSI)
Download the latest Win32 build from the link at the top of this page - do not install this until ALL supporting software is in place and in the places outlined!
Supporting Software
MySQL
Download and install 64bit MySQL from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
During the MySQL configuration Wizard:
- Change default character set to Best support For Multilingualism
Apache
Download and install the 64bit Apache 2.2 from http://www.apachelounge.com/download/ to C:\Apache2.
- Add C:\Apache2\bin to the windows path environment variable. Failure to add this path will result with a missing libaprutil-1.dll error when you attempt to run EPrints.
Perl
Download and install the 64bit Strawberry Perl 5.16 from http://strawberryperl.com/ to C:\Strawberry
Nod_Perl
Download and install the 64bit mod_perl for Strawberry Perl 5.16 from http://people.apache.org/~stevehay/.
Perl Modules
At a command-prompt run:
> cpan install Win32-Daemon > cpan install Win32-DriveInfo
Indexing and Thumbnailing Tools
To get indexing and thumbnailing working will require some configuration file changes.
When you have installed a tool you need to tell EPrints where to find it. Edit perl_lib\EPrints\SystemSettings.pm:
$EPrints::SystemSettings::conf = {
...,
executables => {
convert => '/ImageMagick/convert.exe',
pdftotext => '/xpdf/pdftotext.exe',
},
};
For a full list of tools look in lib\syscfg.d\executables.pl.
Configuration
Edit the Apache configuration file C:\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf and add below the last LoadModule line:
# LoadFile C:/perl/bin/perl510.dll # Not necessary? LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
And at the end of the file:
Include C:/eprints/cfg/apache.conf
Getting Started
To create the indexer service entries (EPrints 3.3+), as administrator run:
> perl C:\eprints\bin\indexer install
Before starting Apache configure a new repository, see Getting Started with EPrints 3.
You will need to manually restart the indexer if you change the repository configuration.
