[Dspace-tech] OAI server could not be reached in DSpace 5.2

[Ruben]

Hi all,

I installed a new DSpace 5.2 with Mirage2 and now is running with a database upgraded from DSpace 1.7. All works well except OAI harvesting, which when I try to enter OAI Harvest URL and OAI Set Id and save it, shows the message "OAI server could not be reached". I tried to run dspace bin doing a ping test onto this set_id-harvest_url pair and the message was the same. I'm sure this URL is reachable because I tried to harvest it at http://demo.dspace.org and this message is not showed. OAI interface is enabled because I can access to url_base/oai/request?verb=Identify, and proxy configs were set up well, so I don't know what's happening...

Someone can help me?

Thanks in advance

Is dspace running on a corporate or institutional network that has a firewall? Almost certainly the issue is that there is a firewall / proxy between dspace and the OAI server.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for your response. Yes, we use a proxy, but I configured this DSpace with the same pattern than the others DSpaces that we have in the same network. The VM in which DSpace is hosted have the proxy variables set up and have connection to outside, and in dspace.cfg I filled out this parameters:

# proxy server for external http requests - use regular hostname without port number
http.proxy.host = ip_proxy

# port number of proxy server
http.proxy.port = port_proxy

Do you know how to be sure this issue is related with proxy settings?

Fixed!!

catalina.properties (Tomcat) also must have proxy settings.

Cheers

Hi Stuart,

I am having the same problem with Ruben but the difference is that I have set up Apache in front of Tomcat using modjk. Here is my post to dspace-tech mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dspace-tech/S-qUNvRLbN4/ucN7TeuBBAAJ. In cases where the OAI server is behind a proxy server, what would be your solution to this?

Hoping for your positive response regarding this matter since the post I made did not have any responses.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
