Unfortunately I believe that moving to a new hostname/IP does require you to
notify CNRI. Although when we did it they were very helpful and made the
change exactly when requested. There are also some references in at least
one of the files in the handle-server directory to the IP addess
(config.dct). I suspect I just edited this manually.
One other wee thing, do you need to move the source files ? They are not
used by the running web application so you could just stick them somewhere
else for reference eg CVS or SVN.
Cheers, Robin.

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Moving DSpace & handle server to new server
We're planning to move our DSpace production environment to a new server.
(This may or may not involve upgrading from 1.4.2 to 1.5 at the same time,
but that's a different story altogether.)
As far as I can see, the easiest way to migrate DSpace from one server to
another is simply copying the dspace source and install directories from the
old server to matching locations on the new server, and populate Postgres on
the new server with the contents of a pg_dump from the old server. Right?
Now, my main concern is the Handle server, mainly because setting it up was
a bit hairy (docs didn't really align well with the real-world
process) and my personal installation notes are quite vague (stupid of me --
everything else is documented down to the last bit.)
So, will the Handle server migrate just as easily as the rest of DSpace?
What if the host name and/or IP address of the instance changes -- will I
need to reconfigure the Handle server somehow, and/or send configuration
updates to CNRI? (After two years of DSpace administration, I must admit I
still have no clue about how the Handle server communicates with DSpace and
CNRI... missing the big picture
*and* the hairy details.)
Any suggestions are welcome!
best regards
Mathias Hjelt
