Validation errors for Digital Commons repositories

[Nyikos, Benedek (ELS-BKY)]

Dear OAI-PMH,

We are attempting to validate a Digital Commons repository using http://www.openarchives.org/Register/ValidateSite but we keep receiving an error saying that the OAI gaterway is returning a 500 error. On our end, it looks like the OAI gateway is fine:

https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/do/oai/

We have tried several other DC sites, with the same error:

https://academicworks.medicine.hofstra.edu/do/oai/

https://digitalcommons.ciis.edu/do/oai/

https://ro.ecu.edu.au/do/oai/

https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/do/oai/

We've been able to register DC sites in the past with no trouble, and our tech team doesn't know of anything that has changed on our end. Can you tell what's going on?

All the best,
Benny

I'm getting the same 500 issue with the validator on every base URL I tried. For eg

curl -I "https://demo.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=Identify"

return 200 OK, but 500 with the validator. It would be great to see the source code or at least the info necessary to reproduce the request with curl. Probably the IP if the http client is not relevant.
