You will need to contact handle.net to re-generate a new sitebundle.zip for your site. handle.net does not rely on DNS names and uses the IP address of the machine. So either keep the same IP of the current machine if you are going to do this as you describe above. Or contact them with the IP address of the new machine.

One thing to note (it may not matter for you but we learned this the hard way) is that handle.net depends on IP and *NOT* DNS.

[Dspace-tech] debugging import utility
G'day, We are attempting to import items in the `Simple Archive Format` They are properly exported from our vireo instance. We are running into problems because the test and actual imports reveal no problems. (my definition of problem being errors spit back at me) These are the `tee'd` files. ./import -a -e kay...@uic.edu -t -c 123456789/8765 -s /home/kayiwa/etd/1/ -m /home/kayiwa/etd/1/etd20121106.map**Test Run** - not actually importing items. Destination collections: Owning Collection: UIC Dissertations and Theses Adding items from directory: /home/kayiwa/etd/1/ Generating mapfile: /home/kayiwa/etd/1/etd20121106.map ***End of Test Run*** and $ ./import -a -e kay...@uic.edu -c 123456789/8765 -s /home/kayiwa/etd/1/ -m /home/kayiwa/etd/1/etd20121106.map Destination collections: Owning Collection: UIC Dissertations and Theses Adding items from directory: /home/kayiwa/etd/1/ Generating mapfile: /home/kayiwa/etd/1/etd20121106.map The generated mapfile is empty and as you can guess nothing is actually imported. Is there a way to make the import utility run verbose? Any other hints to help in troubleshooting what we could be missing? Cheers, ./fxk -- The time for action is past!

[Dspace-tech] Contexts on Dspace and Apache Tomcat6
Hey all I have a stumper here. Mostly because only one of my machines *the production one* [0] fails to work with dspace. The scenario is: We tried to enter the directly on server.xml and it failed. We followed this well reasoned argument against it and use the Contexts as highlighted here http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13335.html and we still get the same results. The strange thing right now is I have an identical but currently down machine that I was able to get running. Thanks for sending me tips on debugging tomcat (Redhat's yum version) which otherwise shows now error except the HTTP Status 404 description The requested resource () is not available. ./fxk -- "Beer busts, beer blasts, keggers, stein hoists, A.A. meetings, beer nights..." --Homer Simpson -- Everyone hates slow websites.

[Dspace-tech] dspace default statistics
In the default dspace installation, what exactly does the error below mean? Passed log directory is not a directory According to the install documentation. All one would have to do is customize the perl scripts stat-general etc., My assumptions here are one is supposed to set the directory in dstat.cfg to point to the location of the file dspace.log -yes? Certainly the original file seems to suggest that. With that done the perl scripts will run. I am running this in dspace 1.3.n thanks in advance. ./fxk - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
