<p>Hi folks,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>found a bug in 3.2 which is fixed in 3.3 but posting here in case anyone else comes up against it as it's a bit of a random one and was causing two seemingly identical installs to behave differently.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The error looks something like:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;">------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;">---------------- EPrints System Error ----------------------------</span><br style="font-family: "Courier New",monospace;">

<p><br>
</p>
<p>the key bit is that its going from Apache::Rewrite to Update::Static and failing to copy onto the directory html/en<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The error is a missing "return OK" in EPrints::Apache::Rewrite after ln 274</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is in the handling for '/sword-app' URLS. Because the return is missing it falls through to treating the url as a static file. But by this time the path is empty. So in EPrints::Update::Static it tries to look for the file and update it if it's been
changed. But because the filename is empty it is doing a comparison between directories (the first of the static dirs and html/en) and if the static dir is older it will do nothing and all works. If the static dir is newer, it will try to do a copy of the
dir and fail with the above error message.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As I said, fixed in 3.3 but couldn't see it documented anywhere.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p><br>
