Dspace Handle Server

Posted on March 14, 2005 by Wesley Wright

Well, this went easier than I thought, although I was sweating nervously during the process.

I configured the CNRI’s Handle system for use with Dspace, following the official Dspace instructions  and these notes.

Requested a global handle from CNRI. Received from jeuler@cnri.reston.va.us

"Hi Wesley: Thank you for your interest in CNRI’s Handle System. You have been assigned prefix/naming authority 0.NA/2051. Your handles will be of the form 2051/hdl1. The information below shows how your prefix was configured but since this is for a DSpace implementation the administration information is not very relevant. There is more documentation on handle.net but mostly you’ll want to follow the DSpace documentation especially in regards to their HandlePlugin."

opened up ports 2641 and 8000 on Badger Started the handle server (should probably get this into a startup file, too!) And it worked! except I needed to update all the old Dspace entries that used the default fake handle 123456789

To that end, I halted dspace, ran a postgresql dump 

pg_dump -c -U dspace dspace > dspace.sql

edited dspace.sql, replaced all instances of 123456789 with 2051, then reloaded database 

psql -U postgres dspace < dspace.sql

So now, visit http://hdl.handle.net/2051/2184

Dspace updates

Posted on March 10, 2005 by Wesley Wright

After much discussion, badger finally received 240 GB of free disk storage via an NFS share on okapi.uvm.edu . This is temporary until TSG can spec out, order, and install a dedicated drive (apparently the NFS space is needed back in a few weeks).

Took the opportunity to upgrade to release 1.2.2 Beta 1 of Dspace

Currently copying from zoo about 9 GB of geology images for insertion into system
