[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace backups on 3.2 failing

Fri Feb 17 15:00:55 EST 2023

Hi Brian,

Are you using the backup script to backup your database only, or were you attempting to backup the Solr index as well? I believe that backing up the Solr index this way has been broken for some time, and is not actually necessary. The next version of ArchivesSpace (3.4.0) will have the backup script only get the database. The Solr ‘/replication’ endpoint is intended for use by other nodes in a Solr cluster, and it isn’t really feasible to backup Solr data from the ArchivesSpace application without a lot of complicated configuration. There is more info here:

Hi Scott & Phil,

We're running into this same error attempting to run a backup (version 3.2.0) at Georgetown.  Were either of you able to resolve this?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Scott, what was the solution for this in the end? We’ve just upgraded to 3.2.0 at Sheffield and we’re seeing the same thing.

Thanks Andrew. Yeah, here it is (it's just the default solrconfig.xml from archivesspace)

  <requestHandler name="/replication" class="solr.ReplicationHandler" startup="lazy" />

Cheers
Scott

This email was sent to you by someone outside the University.

Does your external Solr's "archivesspace" core define a requestHandler whose class is "solr.ReplicationHandler" in its solrconfig.xml? Is the name "/replication"?

Andrew.

Hi folks

I upgraded an instance to v.3.2.0 on Friday, but notice that backups are failing (to do with the new external SOLR?). This is using

/apps/archivesspace/scripts/backup.sh --mysqldump --output ${BACKUP_DIR}/archivesspace_backup_$DATE.zip

as normal. Has the script changed substantially? We were on 2.8.1 previously.

Error looks like this:

Loading ArchivesSpace configuration file from path: /apps/archivesspace/config/config.rb

Otherwise the SOLR seems to be working fine, so I'm assuming my config is ok:

AppConfig[:solr_url] = "http://localhost:8983/solr/archivesspace"

AppConfig[:solr_verify_checksums] = false

AppConfig[:data_directory] = File.join("/apps/solr/server/solr/archivesspace/data")

I did wonder if it was the location of the data_directory that was the issue- it had been away from the solr core, but even after repointing that (above), I get the above error.

Cheers
Scott
