 === Running generate_apacheconf with an archive without a cfg/static/javascript/auto/ directory ===
-If you are upgrading an EPrints repository and your archive(s) do not have a <code>cfg/static/javascript/auto/</code> directory then <code>bin/generate_apacheconf</code> will fail.  This is because 3.4.6 [https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/issues/369 introduces] code that makes sure that the maximum upload limit is configured to be the same in the Apache configuration and in EPrints' JavaScript, which prevents you from trying to upload files larger than a certain size.  This is useful because if you just updated the JavaScript, EPrints would allow the upload to start but would then fail when the Apache limit was reached.  So not only would you not be able to upload the file but you would waste a load of time and possibly not understand why the upload failed.
