Hi Jewel, The example on the DSpace wiki is using an unencrypted handle so output will be slightly different to when using an encrypted handle.
I would suggest in the first instance using an unencrypted handle initially. Probably the easiest way to achieve this would be to back up the [dspace]/handle-server directory. Clear out the existing files and then re-run [dspace]/bin/dsrun net.handle.server.SimpleSetup [dspace]/handle-server. Once the handle server service is working correctly, you can either re-send the sitebndl.zip to handle.net (keeping the handle unencrypted) or then replace the files in [dspace]/handle-server with the previously backed up files (encrypting the handle). If the dspace-handle.bat runs correctly, the output should show the ports listening. You will need to ensure your firewall allows access for ports 8000 and 2641 (TCP and UDP).

I just took the defaults when asked the questions to register for a handle. How can I make these unencrypted? And something I really don't understand is when I go to test my handle service is even asks me for the passphrase while the example on the wiki has totally different output, it shows the ports listening.

Using the service wrapper to run the handle as a windows service means the handle service can start automatically on server boot. If your keys are encrypted, you will be prompted to enter your passphrase each time before the handle server can start. > > I'm not currently aware of being able to pass the passphrase as an application parameter directly on start-up. > > I hope this is of some use, > > Regards > Chris > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ > Chris Yates > Technical Repository Support Officer > > Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services > Prifysgol Aberystwyth Aberystwyth University > > E-bost / E-mail [email protected] > Ffon / Tel: (01970 62) 8489 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jewel [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 07 January 2009 19:43 > To: [email protected] Tech > Subject: [Dspace-tech] Handle Setup on Windows 2003 > > I have successfully installed DSpace on a Windows 2003 server.
