Hi, another problem with the 1.2.1 - 1.4 upgrade:
I am installing the upgrade on another server. I made a fresh environment with new versions of Tomcat (5.5) and Postgres (8.1) and copied the whole thing over: dspace directory, assetstores, database dump. It seems to work pretty well until now, except a few issues that I am slowly staring myself blind upon. The first one is in that previous mail .. the incorrect rendering of some characters in the titles, and the other one is this: I get an error upon clicking on a displayed entry. I *assume* that this is because it is not possible to port the handle over to another machine just like that, and want to at least get a fresh start by starting out with the handle set to the default 123456789/ . But when I change the handle setting in dspace.cnf to 123456789 - nothing changes. It keeps generating URL's like http://lib-ir.lib.sfu.ca:8080/dspace/handle/1892/3409 and not http://lib-ir.lib.sfu.ca:8080/dspace/handle/123456789/3409 after clicking one of those, dspace.log shows this: 2008-04-07 00:59:55,393 INFO org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.DSpaceServlet @ anonymous:session_id=CF40451CD0DCBD8596A6F02F0C189E22:ip_addr=64.180.221.18:view_i tem:handle=1892/3390 2008-04-07 00:59:55,430 WARN org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.InternalErrorServlet @ :session_id=CF40451CD0DCBD8596A6F02F0C189E22:internal_error:-- URL Was: htt p://lib-ir.lib.sfu.ca:8080/dspace/handle/1892/3390 -- Method: GET -- Parameters were: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.HandleServlet.displayItem(HandleServlet.java:286) at org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.HandleServlet.doDSGet(HandleServlet.java:164) at org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.DSpaceServlet.processRequest(DSpaceServlet.java:151) at org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.DSpaceServlet.doGet(DSpaceServlet.java:99) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) (etcetera) and DSpace displays: Internal System Error The system has experienced an internal error. Please try to do what you were doing again, and if the problem persists, please contact us so we can fix the problem. any hint as to what might be causing this persistent memory of the old handle prefix .. and how to wipe that? (or other suggestions ... maybe I am all wrong in thinking it is caused by the fact that I cannot use the same handle prefix on another server?)
