<div dir="ltr">Hi Sebastien,<div><br></div><div>I have applied your patches and report success in running <span class="">Eprints</span> 3.3.12 on <span class="">Ubuntu</span> 14.04. As added benefit the URLs look much nicer now that no HTML escaping is done on non-ASCII characters. Thanks a lot for fixing this!</div>
<div><br></div><div>To give you and other users a few more details: I had a testing installation of <span class="">Eprints</span> 3.3.12 running on <span class="">Ubuntu</span> 13.04. The upgrade to <span class="">Ubuntu</span> 13.10 entails the upgrade from <span class="">apache</span> 2.2 to <span class="">apache</span> 2.4. This leads to a few problems due to the changes in the <span class="">apache</span> API which are fixed by the first three patches. The upgrade from <span class="">Ubuntu</span> 13.04 to 14.04 entails the upgrade to Perl 5.18 which in my case broke quite a bit. The symptoms are various redirection loops and errors due to undefined parameters. I figured that this was due to bad URL rewriting but couldn't find out how to fix it. Your 4th patch in your list seems to fix this. I will now start serious testing and report if I encounter more issues.</div>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
If needed, I added a few patches on GitHub/3.3 branch to make
EPrints work over Apache v2.4:<br>
<br>
- See last comment on
<a href="https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/214" target="_blank">https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/214</a> [ use of remote_ip
]<br>
- <a href="https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/237" target="_blank">https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/237</a> [ NameVirtualHost
deprecated ]<br>
- <a href="https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/236" target="_blank">https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/236</a> [ Order allow,deny
deprecated ]<br>
<br>
Not directly relating to Apache v2.4 but this will also be
relevant if you're using Ubuntu 14+:<br>
<br>

<a href="https://github.com/eprints/eprints/commit/157db0d27d423d38f9c0fc31ce47e519cd861d45" target="_blank">https://github.com/eprints/eprints/commit/157db0d27d423d38f9c0fc31ce47e519cd861d45</a>
[ utf8::decode and URI parameters ]<br>
<br>
<br>
Hopefully this will be it. I'll do more sanity checking on the use
of "utf8::decode" in EPrints but the latter patch should solve
most issues.<br>

<p>I hope you can find the solution.</p>

I read your email on this matter - if you could provide more
information, this would be great (copy/paste of errors in
Apache's error logs is usually a good start).<br>
<br>
I'll reply to the mailing-list when I have all the required
patches. I have one so far (*) :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks for your answer,<br>
Seb.<br>

Right now,I restore my eprints back to 12.04. If you can
solve this error..maybe I can upgrade my OS to 14.04.

all,<br>
<br>
We are aware of some issues with using EPrints on
Ubuntu 14 - more<br>
specifically Apache 2.4 as v2.4 is bringing an updated
API<br>
(<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/developer/new_api_2_4.html" target="_blank">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/developer/new_api_2_4.html</a>).<br>
<br>
We are currently working at fixing those and releasing
patches ASAP.<br>
<br>
If you have experienced issues using the
aforementioned configuration,<br>
please reply to this email with any relevant
information.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Seb.<br>
