[EP-tech] Re: Retired items lead to EPrints System Error

> I really don't know where to search and what to fix

How much do you know about running a server? Does the word ‘grep’ mean anything to you?

If so, from the eprints directory, try the following ***type these commands out – the quotes in this email may end up ‘special’***:

grep –r ‘replacedby’ perl_lib lib

(this will search all files in perl_lib and lib for ‘replacedby’).

 

grep –r ‘replacedby’ archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/

(this will search all your archive configuration files for ‘replacedby’)

 

Somewhere in one of these locations, there’s probably a reference to ‘replacedby’ – let us know what you find!

 

If ‘grep’ means nothing to you, we’ll have to start at a more basic level!

Cheers,

John

My version is 3.3.13 uprated from the eprint repositories (ubutnu server 12.04) from 3.3.12. I can see the corrupted retired items in a grey table, I can edit them, but when I try to press save and exit gives me the same error: "EPrints System Error Attempt to get value from not existent field: eprint/replacedby". The same happens if I try to view them. I really don't know where to search and what to fix ...


The strange thing that I have an identical repository for testing purposes and retiring works just fine there. I don't know where that problem came from.

Hi,

The way EPrints deals with later/earlier versions was changed at some point, and I think the ‘replacedby’ field became redundant.

I’d check all your ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/* and ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/citations/* files for referenced to ‘replacedby’.

 

If you need a hand working out what to correct, let us know. If you look at the new default config in ~/lib/defaultcfg/ you might be able to work out what changes might be needed too.

 

Cheers,

John

I've just checked

Retiring an item give me an "EPrints System Error Attempt to get value from not existent field: eprint/replacedby"

I am in big trouble :(

A corrupted database perhaps?

What should I do?

I have just checked all retired items (Item Status matches any of "Retired"). Pressing in any of the gives me a:
EPrints System Error
Attempt to get value from not existent field: eprint/replacedby

Any Ideas what could it be the problem?
