Setting up Ubuntu

Install EPrints perl dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl libunicode-string-perl \ libterm-readkey-perl libmime-lite-perl libdbd-mysql-perl

$ sudo cpan install Readonly
Configuring MySQL
It is strongly recommended that you set a root password in mysql:
$ mysqladmin -u root password <new password>
Create an 'eprints' system user
$ sudo adduser --system --home /opt/eprints3 --group eprints
Add the 'www-data' user to the 'eprints' group:
$ sudo adduser www-data eprints
Install EPrints
Download EPrints 3. Unpack and install the tarball:
$ tar xzvf eprints-3.x.y.tar.gz $ cd eprints-3.x.y $ ./configure --with-smtp-server smtp.yourdomain $ sudo ./install.pl
Set up Apache
Edit the Apache configuration file:
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
And add this line to the end of apache2.conf:
Include /opt/eprints3/cfg/apache.conf
Set up the indexer as a service
$ sudo ln -s /opt/eprints3/bin/epindexer /etc/init.d/epindexer
Make the indexer start automatically when the machine is rebooted:
$ sudo update-rc.d epindexer defaults 99 99
