[EP-tech] Re: EPrints for Windows?

Additional (weird) information about what I wrote: out of curiosity, I checked the web page again. Now, the welcome message is the one I had edited in the index.xpage while it was not early, after I had launched the generate_views, but the logo is still the old one. I retried the generate_views, same error.

OK, so I installed a virtual machine framework on my PC, then Ubuntu 11.10, and then lamp and eprints.
After having done that (didn't notice any errors or warnings), I tried branding the home page, but:
  1. 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.
  2. I set a new logo, and edited the index.xpage
  3. I then typed "bin/generate_views myarchivename", and had the following warnings:
    Warning! No values were found for eprint.view.year [date] - configuration may be wrong
    as well as for "subjects", "divisions", "creators".
    And the home page was unchanged.
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/...

Thanks for helping me get over this (I haven't used a *nix platform in over 10 years).
