Essentially then, and to hopefully accurately paraphrase Mark W.'s comments . . .
If the server where dsp...@mit currently resides continues to run, and if we continue using the same database location, then the handle-server should run. However, if we move the database to a new location, then the handle-server needs to be configured to use the new location... How is that done, reconfiguring the handle-server to use a new location? -- is it the simple setup of the new handle server and notification to CNRI, or is there something on the dspace application side besides the handle.dir? Also, why would I have to update the old installation -- we will be retiring that? Again, pardon my newbiness . . . I haven't set up the handle-server prior to this.
