Handle Service - Ports?

[Sarah Butash]

Good Morning,

We have recently moved our DSpace Application to a new virtual server and from RHEL6 to RHEL8.  This has proved to be a bit of a challenge!

We use a handle service to help direct the request traffic.  I have documentation from a predecessor that refers to one port configuration while having a server admin suggesting other ports.  Does the DSpace application define any ports within configuration files?  I haven't seen any such information, but I've only barely dived into the config files.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.  Have a great day!

Sarah

Hi, Sarah.

Here are configuration instructions for the Handle Server. It sounds like most of this was already done, because you're discussing a migration:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-TheHandleServer

I believe the port configuration is stored in a file called "config.dct".

The instructions above say that you need TCP port 2641 open. Depending on your configuration, sometimes if you don't also have the UDP port  (usually 2641) referenced in config.dct open to traffic also, the handle server will seem slow-ish. 

There's also a handle server FAQ here which references port 8000 (and that's also likely to be in the config.dct file):
