Re: [Dspace-tech] Install dspace unsucessful
Thanks for additional info. I am now starting from the first step using
Ubuntu's repository management system. At the moment, I finished
installing postgreSQL and now installing TomCat6.
In DSpace's installation instructions, I read:
"Note that DSpace will need to run as the same user as Tomcat, so you
might want to install and run Tomcat as a user called 'dspace'."
This is very confused as it should not be possible to install any software
package without being 'root' in Unix like system.
What should I do next ?

[Dspace-tech] Manakin and Admin Utilities With Apache Redirection
I've been trying to get the XMLUI interface to work with Apache redirection, but I can't access the admin utilities (everything else works): For example, this URL: http://10.4.36.18/admin/metadata-registry results in this error: HTTP Status 404 - /admin/metadata-registry type Status report message /admin/metadata-registry description The requested resource (/admin/metadata-registry) is not available. With this in the Apache access log: 10.4.36.100 - - [01/Apr/2009:08:09:29 +] "GET /admin/metadata-registry HTTP/1.0" 404 1018 "http://10.4.36.18/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032711 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.8" There's nothing in the dspace.log, nor in the Apache error log. But if I switch over to the jspui interface, it all works: 10.4.36.100 - - [01/Apr/2009:08:15:54 +] "GET /dspace-admin/metadata-schema-registry HTTP/1.0" 200 9649 "http://10.4.36.18/dspace-admin/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032711 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.8" 10.4.36.100 - - [01/Apr/2009:08:15:54 +] "GET /styles.css.jsp HTTP/1.0" 20018497 "http://10.4.36.18/dspace-admin/metadata-schema-registry"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032711 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.8" I have the following in /dspace/config/dspace.cfg: dspace.url = http://10.4.36.18:8080/jspui #dspace.url = http://10.4.36.18:8080/xmlui And the following in /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2009-04-01 09:58 ROOT -> /dspace/webapps/jspui/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2009-03-26 10:16 ROOT_xmlui -> /dspace/webapps/xmlui/ When switching between the interfaces, I change the ROOT symlink and the dspace.url appropriately, then restart tomcat.

[Dspace-tech] 1.5.X HandlePlugin and merging DSpace instances
Hi all, I'm doing some research on how to retain Handle resolving on existing items when merging several DSpace instances into one repository. When looking at the DSpace 1.5.X handle plugin implementation I found this comment along with corresponding code: // This parameter allows the dspace handle server to be capable of having multiple // name authorities assigned to it. So long as the handle table the alternative prefixes // defined the dspace will answer for those handles prefixes. This is not ideal and only // works if the dspace instances assumes control over all the items in a prefix, but it // does allow the admin to merge together two previously separate dspace instances each // with their own prefixes and have the one instance handle both prefixes. In this case // all new handle would be given a unified prefix but all old handles would still be // resolvable. This definetly sounds promising, but can anyone shed any light on this feature? If it works as advertised then all I have to do is import the items in a way that the old handles are retained in the database and somehow get the Handle server configured for multiple prefixes, right? There seems to be a only one mention of it on DSpace-tech and even then relating to Oracle problems.

The account used to install software, and the account used to run it, may be different. The instructions here seem to be aimed at someone who is installing Tomcat without the aid of a distribution's package manager and solely for use with DSpace. Since you are using Ubuntu's package manager, it probably created a user account specifically for Tomcat and installed the product to be run by that user. I use Gentoo Linux and the Tomcat packaged by Gentoo, and it does the same, setting up Tomcat to run as a user named "tomcat". The important thing here is that the user account used to run Tomcat must have sufficient access to the DSpace files. If Tomcat is set up to run as a user "tomcat" then I would install DSpace in such a way that it is owned by "tomcat", probably by just being 'su tomcat' before installing. You can use the 'root' account to create the [DSpace] directory and set its ownership appropriately, before installation. It is difficult to document this process literally, because different operating environments might use different account names. If you have some reason to run Tomcat as a particular user, then I would consider every reference to "dspace" as a user account to be a placeholder for the account that Tomcat uses, whatever that is. -- Mark H.

[Dspace-tech] Help with new map:action's
Hi all, We have developed new map:action's that insert information of downloads, views and searches in a table. It appeared to run OK, until we found out our problem in the other email I sent about spammers (thousands of access from the same IP). After a more careful look at the data, and more importantly, comparing the log files to the database, we are thinking that there are a lot of rows being duplicated a lot of times. It appears to be some sort of loop: what was supposed to be one row is inserted 5 times, sometimes at the same second. There's one line in the log file but various lines in the database. We noticed that the problem seems to happen more (but not exclusively) with bitstream downloads than the other pages, but so far I'm clueless to what's causing it. We have several actions, one for each kind of access (view, download, browse and search) and one generic action that insert the row in the database, and is called by the other ones. The last action is a simple class, the other ones extend AbstractAction. Also, the database one commits the context, but I don't know if there's anything else that must be done to ensure it's working correctly. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Install dspace unsucessful
Dear Mark, Your explanation is quite clear and I think I have been doing in a wrong way. Someone even document something like setting directories of tomcat6 (e.g. /etc/tomcat6 /var/lib/tomcat6 /var/cache/tomcat6 and /var/log/tomcat6) to be owned by user 'dspace' !! Well, I was silly enough (ignorance enough) to follow that and finally caused tomcat6 unable to start ! Another big point, I read from someone's document saying that a command like: update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm//usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java is also needed. (Specific to Ubuntu 8.10 with sun-java6-jdk package). Do we have to run this command every time when server is rebooted ? Panyarak Prince of Songkla University On Wed, 1 Apr 2009, Mark H.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Install dspace unsucessful
Hi, I reinstall dspace using 'tomcat6' as the user of tomcat6 and dspace's database... The installation seems to be alright, I guess.
