Re: [Dspace-tech] Moving DSpace handle server to new server
Whether we'll carry over the hostname to the new server or not depends on what's most feasible, considering all dependencies. Still trying to figure out what dependencies were facing. Can you or anyone confirm that a mere IP address change (i.e. hostname remains the same but IP changes) does not affect handle configs, while a change in hostname needs the Handle server to be reconfigured and a new sitebundle needs to be sent to CNRI? thanks, -mathias -Original Message- From: Mark Diggory [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13. maaliskuuta 2008 19:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Mathias Hjelt; dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Moving DSpace handle server to new server It really depends on if your changing the hostname/domain as well.
