Hi txs: We needed the same. After some research and testing, I could work it out. Here is how (not necessarily the only way):
Context: We have 1 instance of tomcat. Every new dspace instance is running as a different webapp, ie, with different names. 1) Create new dspace databases: $ createdb -U postgres -E UNICODE -O dspace dspace-1 $ createdb -U postgres -E UNICODE -O dspace dspace-2 $ createdb -U postgres -E UNICODE -O dspace dspace-3 2) Create new dspace source directories: $ mkdir /srv/dspace-1 $ mkdir /srv/dspace-2 $ mkdir /srv/dspace-3 3) Create new dspace config files: $ cp [dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace.cfg [dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace-1.cfg $ cp [dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace.cfg [dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace-2.cfg $ cp [dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace.cfg [dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace-3.cfg Edit each config file, change the following (using the first instance as an example): dspace.dir = /srv/dspace-1 dspace.url = http://your-dspace-url:80/jspui-1 db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspace-1 4) Create dspace instances, using ant: $ ant -Dconfig=[dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace-1.cfg fresh_install $ ant -Dconfig=[dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace-2.cfg fresh_install $ ant -Dconfig=[dspace-source-dir]/config/dspace-3.cfg fresh_install 5) Create administrator accounts: $ /srv/dspace-1/bin/create-administrator $ /srv/dspace-2/bin/create-administrator $ /srv/dspace-3/bin/create-administrator 6) Include each dspace instance in Tomcat server.xml Edit /usr/local/tomcat/conf/server.xml. Include the following in <host> tag: <Context path="/jspui-1" docBase="/srv/dspace-1/webapps/jspui/" debug="0" reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true"/> <Context path="/jspui-2" docBase="/srv/dspace-2/webapps/jspui/" debug="0" reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true"/> <Context path="/jspui-3" docBase="/srv/dspace-3/webapps/jspui/" debug="0" reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true"/> Regards, Alvaro PS: There is another way: running multiples intances of Tomcat, one for each dspace instance. This option is too expensive in CPU.
