Your config file likely has these variables exported already (most likely as apache/apache or www-data/www-data), so be sure to comment out or replace any existing definitions.<br><br>After making the changes, you will have to restart Apache before they take effect. It will also be necessary to revert ownership of the documents directory back to eprints/eprints. In configuring our repository, I found that running apache as eprints and setting blanket ownership within the eprints directories to the eprints user helped to solve essentially all permission issues.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Casey<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><div id=divRpF184991><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> eprints-tech-bounces@ecs.soton.ac.uk [eprints-tech-bounces@ecs.soton.ac.uk] on behalf of Fran Callaghan [fran.callaghan@dcu.ie]<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, March 16, 2012 9:15 AM<br><b>To:</b> eprints-tech@ecs.soton.ac.uk<br><b>Subject:</b> [EP-tech] File upload failed</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>I’ve just installed 3.2.9 via yum and created a test repository.
