Hi,

The nice person at DataCite informed us that DataCite does not support a test version anymore for the mds interface that DSpace uses. DataCite now has a REST Api as their main offering, and they offer a test version, api.test.datacite.org. We are in the midst of a test for our Beta phase of our project, and want to use our test account. I tried using the Fabrica url, doi.test.datacite.org, but while I can login myself directly here, DSpace gets a 404 when trying to register an item.

2020-05-26 17:09:00,626 WARN org.dspace.identifier.doi.DataCiteConnector @ While registration of DOI doi:10.0042/amad-22553, we got a http status code 404 and the message "<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>Error</title>

</head>

<body>

<pre>Cannot POST /doi/</pre>

</body>

</html>

We are running DSpace 6.3 with Postgresql 9.6.3. Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Paul

Hi,

I got a further info email from DataCite to say that, in fact, they had technical problems with mds.test.datacite.org, and these have been fixed. It wasn't shut down. I tested it and indeed it is working! So please ignore my initial message. Sorry for the confusion.

Best regards,

Paul
