Hi,
<<< The 123456789 prefix is a bogus, non-existent prefix and the default value
if you don't specify your actual handle prefix (assuming you have one).>>>
We are not registered with Handle server so we do not have handle prefix that’s
the reason we are using 123456789.
I came across few handles:
http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/221922
http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/handle/2160/1
Does this mean that these universities have registered with Handle server and
has 2160 or 1810 registered as institution id?
How do we get this institution id generated for us?
One more thing to notice in these handles that they do not have 'jspui' in the
URL.
We got of jspui in the handle url, making it longer.
https://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/jspui/handle/123456789/2564
Is there any way to get rid of jspui here, we haven't got xmlui yet?
Thanks
Kirti

The 123456789 prefix is a bogus, non-existent prefix and the default value if
you don't specify your actual handle prefix (assuming you have one).

No, for now, you have to keep it.

Do not do this. This indicates you're the institution with handle prefix "1",
which you surely aren't. Handle redirects would be broken (there's a
hdl.handle.net permaling automatically generated with this prefix).
SOLUTION: I assume you're running a web server (e.g. Apache HTTPD) in front of
your servlet contaniner (e.g. Tomcat). What you want to do is add an URL
rewriting module (e.g. mod_rewrite) that will intercept all reqests in form of
"^/[1-9]*$" (regex notation) and turn them into redirects to
"/jspui/handle/123456789/$1". In mod_rewrite notation, this would be:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/[1-9]*$ /jspui/handle/123456789/$1$1 [L]
(This is off the top of my head, I didn't test it)

That's right, there's the "[dspace]/bin/dspace update-handle-prefix"
command for updating existing items, but DO NOT change the prefix for the
reasons I said above.

Like I said above, don't change the handle prefix.
