Thanks Chris, I have a few more questions, and some error messages that I hope you can help with.
First, am I correct that when using the basic OAI the baseURL is hardcoded and unchangeable? This is my issue with getting my Fedora instance indexed by OAIster and the reason I'm going down this OAIprovider path now (for now just getting the 'basic' OAI working would be great). I've spent most of the morning configuring the OAIProvider service, but have gotten to where I get errors that start with: javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to initialize ProviderServlet proai.error.RepositoryException: Unable to initialize fedora.services.oaiprovider.MPTQueryFactory java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not initialize table mapper org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (Unknown database 'riTriples') Does this point to OAIprovider not configured correctly, or Fedora? I installed FC 3.0 with RI on, and I can see that FEDORA_HOME/data/resourceIndex is populated, should the missing databases listed be created before I kick off OAIprovider, or should those have been there from before?
