Hi James:

>my current issue seems to be that the archive data server is not working.
Correct, that's what this means:
>"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Couldn't execute the archiver.info<http://archiver.info> request java.io.IOException: Unexpected Response from Server:  Internal Server Error"

The old archive manual,  https://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/kasemir/archiver/manual.pdf, has sections about the setup and testing of the ArchiveDataServer.cgi (4.3.1, 4.3.3, ..).
You can try to connect to the ArchiveDataServer.cgi via "telnet" to see if the web server is executing it at all.
If it's running, it will also update a file /tmp/archserver.log (something like that, don't remember the exact name in /tmp) with the recent requests. If the archiver.info request already fails, that should indicate that the ArchiveDataServer.cgi is really not invoked at all. Your web server might return the binary bits of the ArchiveDataServer.cgi file instead of executing it.
