14:33 pdurbin Happy Open Access Week! A Dataverse event on Thursday is listed at https://datamanagement.hms.harvard.edu/open-access-week-2020

16:37 pdurbin nightowl313: thanks for answering that question on the list!
16:41 donsizemore joined #dataverse
16:43 nightowl313 I hope it was the right answer! Trying to get a little more involved in a helpful way!
16:47 nightowl313 I installed and tested DVUploader ... I don't have a live DOI yet, though, so can't upload anything ... but it seems to work (ie: it tried to upload but couldn't resolve the test DOI, obviously). I supposed I could add our live DOI credentials to our test site. Technically, I don't really need direct upload enabled for it, right ... just if we are going to upload files larger than 5G and more than 1000?
17:20 pameyer I'd be a little suprised if DVUploader didn't have an option for uploading without a resolvable DOI (might've been tricky to develop/test without it)
17:20 pameyer but I haven't really looked at it at all, so it's very possible I'm wrong
17:20 pdurbin Yeah, I agree. It probably works with a fake DOI.

17:54 dataverse-user Hi, I have installed dataverse v. 4.17. We decided to use handle, it is installed correctly because I was able to create and resolve a handle. The problem is that I cannot create datasets, I get an error. In domain.xml I have: <jvm-options> -Ddataverse.handlenet.admcredfile = /../admpriv.bin </jvm-options>  <jvm-options> -Ddataverse.handlenet.admprivphrase </jvm-options>  <jvm-options> -Ddataverse.handlenet.index = 300 </jvm-options>
17:59 pdurbin dataverse-user: what is the text of the error?
18:00 dataverse-user Error - The dataset could not be created.
18:01 pdurbin Hmm. Anything in server.log?
18:04 dataverse-user [2020-10-19T13:53:45.949-0300] [glassfish 4.1] [SEVERE] [] [edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.HandlenetServiceBean] [tid: _ThreadID=48 _ThreadName=jk-connector(1)] [timeMillis: 1603126425949] [levelValue: 1000] [[   Cannot read private key null: java.lang.NullPointerException]]  [2020-10-19T13:53:46.029-0300] [glassfish 4.1] [SEVERE] [] [edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.HandlenetServiceBean] [tid: _ThreadID=48 _ThreadName=jk-connector(1)] [timeMillis
18:09 pameyer if I'm interpreting that correctly, it might be that you don't have admprivphrase (I'd guess admin passphrase), and the dataverse code assumes that one exists
18:09 pameyer setting that to an empty string _might_ work, if your handle config doesn't use a passphrase
18:10 pdurbin pameyer: your guess is as good as mine. I've never set up Handle before.
18:13 dataverse-user ok, can you tell me how I modify admprivphrase and configure it with empty string?
18:23 pdurbin dataverse-user: someone on the mailing list might know. You opened a ticket, right? This one? https://help.hmdc.harvard.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=295503
18:31 dataverse-user I haven't user
18:35 pdurbin dataverse-user: I would suggest posting that error about a private key to https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community in the hope that someone who uses Handle can answer.
18:36 dataverse-user ok, thanks!
18:41 pdurbin You're welcome. Anything else we can help you with?
18:42 pameyer pdurbin: I'm pretty much guessing from the exception trace, 30s of looking at the code, and my imaginary idea of how handles might possibly work
18:43 pameyer google group is probably good idea - some folks on there have used handles before
18:45 pameyer for changing it, I think you need to delete the jvm option and re-add it.  I've managed to forget the asadmin command syntax though
18:47 pameyer looks like `asadmin delete-jvm-options -Ddataverse.handlenet.admprivphrase` , `asadmin create-jvm-options=""`
18:47 pameyer but the quote escaping can be fiddly sometimes; but be easier to shutdown glassfish/payara and edit domain.xml directly
18:48 pdurbin yeah

19:14 dataverse-user Thanks for the help but it didn't work out
19:16 dataverse-user Thanks for the help but it didn't work out. I will check at google group
19:16 pdurbin sounds good
19:20 pdurbin poikilotherm: I'm getting edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.api.e​rrorhandlers.ThrowableHandler in server.log when I expect to see a real error. This means I need to add a handler?
20:57 pdurbin nevermind

22:00 nightowl313 sorry for all the questions ... anyone know if there is a way to edit the text of emails sent from dataverse? (ie: the one sent when someone logs in for the first time)? we would like to change the link to the harvard user guide to our user guide
22:02 nightowl313 we changed the jvm option for the nav menu, but the email still shows the other
22:03 nightowl313 we just have so many new things going on at once right now ... so lots of questions!
22:05 pameyer @nightowl313 I don't know for sure, but I suspect that would need a change to either the bundle properties or code
22:06 nightowl313 i thought maybe that would be the case ... the new user emails are being flagged as spam by our mail server because they are not https
22:06 nightowl313 the guide that is
22:07 pameyer because a url in the email is http?
22:07 nightowl313 yes, sorry ... the url for the user guide is http
22:08 pameyer ah - if I'm remembering right, that's an easier fix
22:08 pameyer curl -X PUT -d https://$your_guide_url http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:GuidesBaseUrl
22:10 nightowl313 oh my goodness! just looked through the apis and saw that ... we set the other one (NavBarGuidesURL) but I guess not that one!
22:10 nightowl313 thank you so much
22:10 pameyer I don't think that guides.dataverse.org supports https though; looks like it's not listening there
22:10 pameyer no problem :)
22:10 pameyer there are _many_ configuration options
22:12 nightowl313 yea, I know! i've looked through them several times, but I think I must miss some
22:15 pameyer I sometimes run into the problem of not knowning what I'm looking for is called (in general, not specific to dataverse guides)
22:16 pameyer you may not need it for the guides url; but I'm pretty sure that the internationalization work would build in enough flexibility to change the content of emails - but that might be more trouble than you need to go to this time
22:19 nightowl313 yes, something to look into at some point ... thanks so much! I'm trying to not dominate this chat with too many questions! and, trying to lurk in case there's anything that I can answer
22:20 pameyer no worries - questions are good :)
22:22 pameyer and channeling pdurbin - it may be worth a github issue for switching the default guides url to https.  if it's something that happens to you, it may be something that happens to someone else
22:23 nightowl313 ah good idea ... i'll post one ... we are using proofpoint which catches anything not https .. which is really probably a lot of things, but it seems to be getting more and more difficult to not have https on the web
22:27 pameyer yeah... there's a trend for browsers to flag http as insecure too
22:32 nightowl313 i just went to submit a ticket and noticed that someone else already did a few days ago! lol ..
22:34 pameyer :) that definately happens
22:35 pameyer I've sometimes joked that dataverse already has an issue for everything
22:35 nightowl313 I "seconded" it!
22:35 pameyer great - that helps djbrooke prioritize things

23:59 nightowl313 so, tried dvupload on our prod dataverse, with real DOIs and getting "Dataset Not Found" on a valid DOI ... if I type the DOI in the web browser it goes to it, so it is definitely there and reachable... any ideas?
