We're planning to move our DSpace production environment to a new server. (This may or may not involve upgrading from 1.4.2 to 1.5 at the same time, but that's a different story altogether.)
As far as I can see, the easiest way to migrate DSpace from one server to another is simply copying the dspace source and install directories from the old server to matching locations on the new server, and populate Postgres on the new server with the contents of a pg_dump from the old server. Right? Now, my main concern is the Handle server, mainly because setting it up was a bit hairy (docs didn't really align well with the real-world process) and my personal installation notes are quite vague (stupid of me -- everything else is documented down to the last bit.) So, will the Handle server migrate just as easily as the rest of DSpace? What if the host name and/or IP address of the instance changes -- will I need to reconfigure the Handle server somehow, and/or send configuration updates to CNRI? (After two years of DSpace administration, I must admit I still have no clue about how the Handle server communicates with DSpace and CNRI... missing the big picture *and* the hairy details.) Any suggestions are welcome! best regards Mathias Hjelt DHANKEN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
