Hi there
I have had some problems trying to get the CNRI handle server configuration done on our new Dspace 7.6 production RHEL 8 server. We are migrating from current 6.3 production server to 7.6 production server next Tuesday so already have handle prefix etc. and just need to set up the handle server config on new server to provide handle admins with new sitebndl.zip. I initially followed instructions on https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Handle.Net+Registry+Support just using the command [dspace]/bin/make-handle-config This failed to prompt for any information/questions - all I got was "writing simple Handle server configuration" – no error messages. However when I opened config.dct to check it it had a different IP address to the one we want to register and was missing the lines from server_config that were supposed to appear so figured something went wrong in the process. I ran the command again hoping to get a complete file and it seemed to work ok the second time (renamed previous config.dct and made a new one but sitebndl.zip unchanged) - however I still didn't get any prompts for information/questions. I sent the sitebndl.zip to CNRI handle admins and asked them what IP/ports had come through in the sitebndl.zip since I couldn’t specify in the question answers and they reported it was the IP address we didn't want and also port 2643 instead of 2641 (which is the default handle port and is the one we had opened in our firewall)? I found - https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/Dee91VMhkF8/m/mr7jCmmKAQAJ and figured I would try that method instead. I renamed the previous handle-server directory to handle-server-old and tried [dspace]/bin/dspace make-handle-config [dspace]/handle-server as suggested and that worked to bring up all the questions and the suggested default IP address and ports in the prompts were correct so assume the sitebndl.zip is too. However it finished with the error message below and I not sure if this is important or not for handle server operation (also had to add in the server_config parameters for the plug in manually to config.dct). "*WARNING: Error adding admin.war to server:* *java.io.FileNotFoundException: /[dspace]/admin.war (No such file or directory)* *You will have to add admin.war to the webapps subdirectory manually.*" Would someone be able to comment on whether or not we can just ignore that error (webapps directory in the handle-server directory from the original simple set up attempt was empty so hoping that admin.war isn't actually required)? I won’t attempt to start the handle server until Tuesday when we have officially cut over to the new production server so would be good to know ahead of time. Our local.cfg still has some placeholder/test definitions in it since we're not live yet - that may be why we had problems with make-handle-config (was just trying to do it early so could get the new sitebndl.zip to handle admins ahead of the change date).
