Can anyone tell me what might be the problem with my attempt at OAI validation? The email response I received from the Openarchives.org registration site is below.
I don't know whether it is a problem with oaicat.properties and resumptionToken or that my server is just not configured correctly. In any case, the validation request returns an HTTP 500 error. When I tried the Repository Explorer as suggested in the email, my site seems to validate fine. Thanks in advance for any help.
