Yesterday, I went to configure the handle server on another instance of
DSpace.  I received the following error when using the DSpace script
"make-handle-config".  It seemed no matter what I did, it kept repeating
itself. (I checked all user permissions, directory permissions, groups, etc.)
This was following the documentation in ch. 3.3.4.
Here is the error:

Writing simple Handle server configuration
Error setting up the server:
java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at net.handle.server.SimpleSetup.responseToPrompt(SimpleSetup.java:930)
        at net.handle.server.SimpleSetup.getIPAddress(SimpleSetup.java:572)
        at net.handle.server.SimpleSetup.main(SimpleSetup.java:96)
./make-handle-config: line 90: /dspace/handle-server/config.dct: No such file or directory ./make-handle-config: line 99: /tmp/handleconfig7751: No such file or directory

But, when I ran the "manual" technique written:

Instead of running:
java -cp /hs/bin/handle.jar net.handle.server.SimpleSetup /hs/svr_1
as directed in the Handle Server Administration Guide, you should run

 [dspace]/bin/dsrun net.handle.server.SimpleSetup
        [dspace]/handle-server
ensuring that [dspace]/handle-server matches whatever you have in dspace.cfg for the handle.dir property.

This worked perfectly fine.  So what's going on here?

Perhaps the make-handle-config script really isn't need in lieu of the manual instructions that do work?
