Hi Jewel The other consideration relates to the port 8080 part of your URL. If you want to get rid of this then you need to have your Apache HTTPD server use something like mod_proxy_ajp to redirect (configurably) port 80 requests to port 8080 (I think that's what it does in my simple terms - hey, I'm no sys admin). A sample setup would be (in $APACHE_HTTPD_HOME/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf):
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so ProxyPass /things/you/don't/want/redirected ! ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/ ProxyPassReverse / ajp://localhost:8009/ (8009 is the AJP connector port). The other thing we do slightly differently is redirect tomcat's ROOT webapp to dspace using a symlink: ln -s /tomcat/home/webapps/ROOT /your/dspace/installation/webapps/jspui Obviously, replace "jspui" with "xmlui" if you are using the manakin interface. I hope this is of some assistance.
