Hi Jayan
This didn't appear to have any adverse effect - things started working
when I ran it again. I have some documentation I've put together which
highlights some of these issues and (at least in my mind) clarifies and
consolidates some disparate knowledge which is currently scattered
across the web.
Now if I could just figure out how to add a new page to
http://wiki.dspace.org ... anybody?
Regards

Hi!
I was just wondering whether running the simplesetup one more
time would have any adverse effect. I hope the second time passphrase
can be left blank. http://sunsite.utk.edu/diglib/dspace/#handle
Just a thought
Cheers! Jayan

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Handle server startup fails - looking for
InnaKlimbovskaia, Rafa Carreres or Mathias Hjelt
Hi all
I've just migrated our production dspace instance to a new
server and had to reissue CNRI with a sitebndl.zip. In the SimpleSetup
it prompts you to enter a passphrase. Ignorantly thinking this sounded
like a good thing to do, I did that. Now my handle server won't start up
- I found this thread from last year (see below) but the actual solution
was not posted. I was wondering if Inna (or anyone else out there) can
tell me how to remove the passphrase so I can use my handle server. Or
alternatively, is anyone using a passphrase with a working handle
server??
Also, according to the openssl FAQs, "Leaving a private key
unencrypted is a major security risk" so do I really want to remove the
passphrase? Furthermore, these openssl commands seem to issue/remove
.pem files and I can't see none o' those in my [dspace]/handle-server
directory. I would echo Inna and Mathias Hjelt's comments that this
should be clearly stated in the bundled/online documentation in large
letters eg: If using the SimpleSetup, DO NOT ISSUE A PASSPHRASE! I'm
happy to update the handle documentation once I've sorted some of these
issues out.
I currently have no persistent identifier functionality on my
production dspace, so sorting this out is quite important.
According to Dan Scott (are you out there?) the solution "was
described in a July 30, 2007 post to the list by Rafa Carreres." but I'm
stuffed if I can find the post (Rafa Carreres are you out there?).
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you very much.
Kind regards
Gary

Thank you Christian!
That explains the problem. It would be nice if someone updates
documentation, so it actually say not to use passphrase...
Thank you again,
Inna
