[EP-tech] Debian9 full-upgrade to Debian10 likes to remove eprints

[drn at ecs.soton.ac.uk (David R Newman)]

Hi Thomas,

It is good to know that both installing on Debian 10 and upgrading from 
Debian 9 to Debian 10 seem to both work.? It would be useful for clarity 
if you could detail the exact steps that you had to take to 
keeping/upgrading MySQL between Debian 9 and Debian 10.? I assume this 
may involve adding MySQL's own APT repository so that it continue to 
exist according to your operating system and be upgraded to the 
appropriate version.

On the topic of the error message you are seeing when loading the login 
page.? Looking at that line of code, it looks like you assessment is 
fairly accurate.? Please could you answer a number of questions:

1. Does cfg/cfg.d/10_core.pl exist for you archive and is $c->{host} set 
to the hostname for you testing clone and the URL you are accessing 
/cgi/users/login on in your web browser?

2. Have you run "epadmin generate_apacheconf --system --replace" before 
reloading Apache?

3. Do you have HTTPS enabled on this test clone in 10_core.pl or another 
file in your archive's cfg/cfg.d/ directory (e.g. https.pl).? If so what 
is $c->{securehost} set to?

I think the first two are the critical questions.? The third might just 
complicate my advice if I assume you have HTTPS enabled and you don't or 
vice-versa.

Regards

David Newman
