OK, so I installed a virtual machine framework on my PC, then Ubuntu
11.10, and then lamp and eprints.<br>
After having done that (didn't notice any errors or warnings), I
tried branding the home page, but:<br>
<ol>
<li>When I "su eprints", it asks me for a password (but it hadn't
asked me to set one during config); I bypassed that with "sudo
su eprints", but would appreciate understanding what happened
here.</li>
<li>I set a new logo, and edited the index.xpage<br>
</li>
<li>I then typed "bin/generate_views myarchivename", and had the
following warnings:<br>
Warning! No values were found for eprint.view.year [date] -
configuration may be wrong<br>
as well as for "subjects", "divisions", "creators". <br>
And the home page was unchanged.</li>
</ol>
I couldn't find any reference to that warning anywhere and how to
fix this to get the generate_views to work (I am using the online
wiki doc as reference, and understand it's not that up-to-date,
including the address of the installation, which is not /opt/... but
/usr/share/...<br>
<br>
Thanks for helping me get over this (I haven't used a *nix platform
in over 10 years).<br>
