Cheers John, I am going to take the dog for a quick walk and go through all you've listed. The file location of the coversheeted version is especially good, I hadn't thought of that. The indexer logs too...
I'll let you know how I get on!
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
Here's my checklist:
* have you restarted the indexer? (It has a copy of the EPrints config in memory, so might not be aware that it should be doing things...yet! A restart of the indexer should help).
* are there any clues in ~/var/indexer.log?
* what about ~/var/opennoffice.log?
* is the OpenOffice service running?
* Are there any AddCoversheet events in the event queue?
If I remember properly:
-items in the buffer don't normally have the coversheet applied.
-when an item is made live, the first download of the document will trigger an addition of the AddCoversheeet to the event queue
-your browser may be caching the downloaded document. Try appending a querystring https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frepo.com%2F1%2F1%2Fthesis.pdf%3Fa&data=04%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C84aa2787403747252be408d988beb42b%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637691176744725612%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=EDno3YQTGC2Earw1m70uc9Ew8DQ6kSddO3gaayhhYgk%3D&reserved=0 sort of thing.
You can also check the documents directories on the filesystem for thumbnails, and possibly a covered version that's not being served for some reason. The covered-sheeted version will have the same filename as the original, but be in a different 'pos' related subdirectory.
Any of that help?
Cheers,
John

Hello everyone,
I hope we are all keeping well.
Can anybody help me with the coversheets plugin? I have installed it and the dependencies, uploaded a coversheet template, set it to active and deposited several items that should be suitable for a coversheet to be generated.
When I deposit an item (through Elements) to the repository it goes into the review and no coversheet tasks appear in the Indexer. I move it to the live archive and no coversheets appear. The item does not have a coversheet added to it.
Even if there is some way to troubleshoot this or logs I could look at to get a clue.
At the moment the sheet is set to be added to items of type "Thesis".
There were some things I noticed and have changed. First being the template couldn't be uploaded. There was no "coversheets" folder in cfg/static so I added one and it worked. Permissions fully open as it's on the test server and I'm narrowing down problems.
The next thing I changed was in z_coversheet.pl<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fz_coversheet.pl%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C84aa2787403747252be408d988beb42b%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637691176744725612%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=k1pTOVRXqO0utJ2lRZCM6X273m9vWrLj3ruBVkUWYH4%3D&reserved=0>:
$c->{gs_pdf_stich_cmd} = $c->{archiveroot} . "/bin/tools/stitchPDFs ";
to:
$c->{gs_pdf_stich_cmd} = $c->{archiveroot} . "/bin/stitchPDFs ";
because that matches the actual location of stitchPDFs.
Looking in bin I can see the following aren't set to be allowed to be executed by any user or group:
DocumentConverter.py
remove_coversheets
openoffice-local.pl<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fopenoffice-local.pl%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C84aa2787403747252be408d988beb42b%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637691176744725612%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=PRfmh4o7YZ884dOqTcHakyFIjilh0IhLsYZ74IHfTC4%3D&reserved=0>
I will open them up and have another attempt, but if anybody has any more guidance it will be massively appreciated.
Thanks,
James
