=== Broken Actions ===

Links which call Perl cgi scripts are broken – e.g. Under Manage Deposits, click New Item. Select an Item Type and then click Next. You will be returned to the Manage Deposits page, rather than to the next step in the workflow. This appears to be because the form action is pointing to http://publications.modhist.ox.ac.uk/cgi/users/home#t rather than /publications/cgi/users/home. As far as I can see, this is a bug, rather than a configuration mistake, though I'm happy to be advised otherwise.

The workaround I have for this bug is to install patch 252, which can be downloaded from http://files.eprints.org/252/

The patch seeks to resolve the problem by introducing a configuration variable users_url in 20_baseurls.pl. The use of perl_url has been replaced with users_url for all links to scripts in cgi/users. For insecure use, users_url can be set to perl_url. When https is requires, it can be adjusted appropriately.

Apply the patch to the EPrints 3.x source (patch -d eprints-3.0/ -p0 < users-url.patch) and re-run configure and install.pl. Add the following lines to /opt/eprints3/archives/repos1/cfg/cfg.d/20_baseurls.pl :

  $c->{secure_urlpath} = $c->{securepath};
  $c->{secure_url} = "https://".$c->{securehost}.($c->{secureport}!=443?":".$c->{secureport}:"").$c->{secure_urlpath};

  # Mod_perl scripts for users scripts
  # If not using https, make this the same as perl_url
  # Otherwise make it  $c->{secure_url}."/cgi"
  #$c->{users_url} = $c->{perl_url};
  $c->{users_url} = $c->{secure_url}."/cgi";

Similarly for /opt/eprints3/archives/repos2/cfg/cfg.d/20_baseurls.pl. Restart Apache. It should now be possible to upload documents, step through workflows etc.

However, some bugs with image urls remain.
