Does anyone have an up-to-date and complete step-by-step guide on how to set up the Handle server with DSpace 1.4.2? If such a guide exists, would't it be a good idea to include it in the DSpace documentation or put it on the Wiki?
I'm currently in the process of trying to get this set up and I'm mildly annoyed by the lacking documentation in [dspace-source]/docs/install.html. The first problem I ran into was that "make-handle-config" gives me "Warning: data not encrypted" -> a quick Google on that led me to http://www.thesesalive.ac.uk/archive/ERAInstallation-1.9.html#_Toc824950 72 which suggested running "dsrun net.handle.server.SimpleSetup" instead, which is also mentioned in DSpace's install.html. However, any documentation I've seen so far fails to mention that you should NOT put a passphrase on your keys -> I did it, and now the handle server won't start. A quick Google on "Invalid passphrase" -> found a thread suggesting that "yes it's in the documentation if you read the make-handle-config script".. Helpful indeed, in retrospect. Furthermore, docs/install.html isn't very clear on how to proceed once the above obstacles are out of the way. More Googling -> found http://sunsite.utk.edu/diglib/dspace/#handle which makes the important point that one should ignore the official Handle documentation altogether (e.g that about "homing" your prefix etc). It also gives some useful step-by-step instructions which, in my opinion, could be integrated into docs/install.html. (Install.html implies you should start the Handle server prior to even applying for a prefix, and fails to explain how to put the obtained prefix into the Handle server's config..) So, now that I'm waiting for a reply from CNRI on how to proceed with the passphrase issue (I did not find any solution for removing the passphrase OR for making the handle server startup prompt for it), I'm still not certain that I've got everything else right. Hence my question, does anyone have a complete and up-to-date guide on how to do this properly, without taking the trial-and-error path?
