Handle server won't start

[euler]

Dear All,

I just migrated a DSpace instance running version 8.0 to a different VPS. Previously, I had no problem running the handle server, but after migrating to this new VPS, and doing all the necessary changes, I can't seem to make the handle server run. Below is the error when I run ./dspace start-handle-server

"2024-10-15 07:04:30.843+0800" 25 Started new run.

I want to mention that issuing the command [dspace]/bin/make-handle-config doesn't do anything, so I end up using [dspace]/bin/dspace dsrun net.handle.server.SimpleSetup [dspace]/handle-server command which asked me the usual questions when setting up the handle server.

The VPS's OS is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which is also the same as the previous VPS. Please give me any advice on this.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Colleagues,

I want to ask for help regarding this issue. I can't start the handle server. I have tried deleting the .m2 directory to trigger downloading dependencies, I also upgrade my openjdk from 17 to 18. I also tried checking out the dspace-8_x branch. I've lost track of how many times I've run mvn clean -U package. Below are the errors from the log files when I run start-handle-server:

Just so you know, the handle server is working perfectly on the previous server. I just moved/migrated this instance to a new VPS. I'm at lost of the cause why the handle server won't start. I'm troubleshooting this issue for almost 2 days now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

I started having the same problem.
Were you able to solve the problem?

Hi Mehmet,

I made the handle server work by downgrading the bouncycastle dependency from 1.78.1 to 1.78.

~/dspace-src$ git diff
diff --git a/pom.xml b/pom.xml
index 4e2df6abf0..3fe91fd379 100644

I hope this helps others who have the same issue. I have no idea why it did not work for this specific server when I have other repositories that I have installed with no problem using the 1.78.1 version of bouncycastle.

Best regards,
