<p>Hi James,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So we are not cross purpose, please could you tell me which version of the coversheets plugin you are using. Is it the one that can be currently downloaded from:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbazaar.eprints.org%2F350%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Cf8935d3d6e8a4f0e00e808d988ccc276%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637691235277578277%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=j6YbHJ%2FgUhNxvwMxhDQyaAsZZVhf2TyZACHi%2BaFGhuQ%3D&reserved=0" originalSrc="http://bazaar.eprints.org/350/" shash="awk63WqNOnTSCER2sHQizdSyUYtDxMSvcd3ZzdPlCqnB0T21suujJTnDpiQ7FaLaP0hts9/5IOpYDCC+myEvT/5d/3Ge+kIcL4HRvIHtbF3rUkgu5mK+gS4luiXE8fFRNtouolZelxpco/GaXjJQhi+SvRbIhA3BlKqC62SnNVY=" target="_blank">http://bazaar.eprints.org/350/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If not please could you tell me where it is from. Not having the cfg/static/coversheets / directory in your local archive will be a problem. You will also need to copy the variously numbered sub-directories from you live repository.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There does seem to be some confusion on the correct location for the stitchPDF scripts should go according to the coversheets wiki page [1]. I think $c->{archiveroot} . "/bin/tools/stitchPDFs " is the more appropriate location. So it is probably better
to move the script that change the command. I will update the wiki page to that effect.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If you reinstate the coversheets directory as describe above, coversheets should start being applied but also I would expect an error id they were not. The other things to sort out are making sure OpenOffice is running. It is possible that something may
still be at issue that does not cause the indexer task to fail and it "succeeds" to quickly for you to see in the event queue. I would look in EPRINTS_PATH/var/indexer.log to see if you can see anything going on?<o:p></o:p></p>
