[Dspace-tech] Handle Server Problem

[George Kozak]

I have run across a problem that I hope someone can help me with.

We have been running DSpace for a while at Cornell University. This week,
I was checking some of our links as we were going live with our
dissertations and theses soon when I discovered that our handles were no
longer working.

I am not sure what is wrong, handles are being generated when items are
installed, but when I try and click on a handle such as
http://hdl.handle.net/1813/57, I am getting "

Error - Handle Cannot Connect to Server".

Since it has been ages that I looked at this and we installed DSpace and
the Handle Server, I wonder if someone could give me some clues to follow
to debug this. Where should I look first to see why this isn't
working? Thanks!

Hi George.

Your handle server probably isn't running. When restarting your
server, make sure you run the dspace/bin/start-handle-server command.

Hi
Are you sure that the cnri handle server can access your dspace handke
server? namely, is your dspace machine behind a firewall? does it have a
public ip? if behind a firewall are the correct ports open?( cnri webpage
has help on which ports to open.
greetings

Hello,

I have installed the handle server alongwith 1.1.1. When I start the
handle server, it just shuts down and error.log has the folowing output :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of this we are not able to resolve handles globally. Everything
else is working fine.Dspace is assigning handles without any
problem.

Can somebody help??

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

I've had this problem before, and although I have yet to find the time to
resolve it, it has been suggested to me that the BadPaddingException is
being thrown because of a difference between the version of the Handle
Server currently available from CNRI and the version supported by 1.1.1 of
DSpace. The recommendation is to install from the handle.jar that comes
with DSpace.

Cheers

I can not get our handle server to run on Windows 7. I am getting the
following error (found in the handle-server directory error.txt file).
Any help would be appreciated.

I tried a couple of things people suggested such as making sure I was
running the command prompt as an administrator, restarting the server to
make sure no odd java processes were running, and restarting all of the
DSpace services. I still am getting an error when I try to start the
handle server. Could it be due to running an encrypted handle?

I got this error when I tried to start it this morning.

Hi,

If you have restarted the handle and killed any processes, I suggest you
check the relevant ports are open on your network...

This type of thing drove me crazy for the longest time, also when I run the
initial script I answered no to encrypting the handle.

Kevin

[Cameron, Jacob]

The ports are open on our firewall. We just upgraded to a new version
of DSpace and the exact same rules for the firewall still apply.

Anyone got any tips on how to resolve the issue?

[Tim Donohue]

Hi,

You didn't note which version of DSpace you are using.  But, as of DSpace 6.0 (and above), there is now a Windows version of the "start-handle-server" script ( "[dspace]/bin/start-handle-server.bat") which should be used to easily start the Handle Server on Windows.  You also should check to ensure that the ports that the Handle Server is trying to use (usually ports 8000 and 2641) are both open and nothing else is running on them.

If you are already using DSpace 6.x, you may also want to check your DSpace logs to see if additional errors are being reported there when you attempt to start the Handle Server.

Let us know if this is of any help.

Thanks Tim. I'm using DSpace 5 but I need to upgrade to 6 anyway, so I'll try that and see how it goes.
