Hi Sue, Thanks - I've had those errors as well - How do you switch to xpdf? Thanks, Susan Thornton, Susan M. (LARC-B702)[RAYTHEON TECHNICAL SERVICES COMPANY] wrote: Hi Susan, I'm not sure if the problem we were having is related to yours since you're dealing with .jpg files (we have all .pdfs), but we saw lots of similar errors prior to switching from the use of PDFBox to xpdftotext and xpdftothumbnail. When we were using PDFBox, approximately 10% of the documents in our repository would not filter due to errors that looked suspiciously like the ones you're getting. Now that we've switched to xpdf, 100% of our documents filter successfully.

Hi all, Well, my problem is bigger than expected as the files aren't loading quickly on either production or test. Although we're still checking out university networking issues, I'm still curious to see if anyone has had trouble opening larger files through the Dspace app. For example, here's a couple of larger files (although they're still on ~24 mb) on our production instance: https://dizzyg.library.vcu.edu/bitstream/10156/2476/1/TESI%20VALE.pdf These files never open, but rather just spin.

hi Claudia, It does have the proper rights - checked that yesterday eve.

I've also tried to specify the set in the oai call to no avail. Has anyone else come across something like this with Dspace OAI?

Our code basically writes the bitstream_id of the documents that cannot be filtered, whether it's due to invalid characters, non-OCR'd documents, or the Java heap space error, to a locally-created table. Once a bitstream_id is written to that table, filter-media will not attempt to filter it again, and skips it. A report is created from the entries in the local table and is sent to the Users for research and possible rescanning. We have identified a lot of documents this way that were scanned, but not OCR'd.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Understanding Workflow Authorizations
Hi Claudia, Yesterday afternoon when I was pulling my hair out, I thought this was probably a customization that we implemented last year. Apparently, no one testing over the past year has noticed that the file link is gone during approval (including myself!). We have a strange set up here in that we did customizations and got the system ready a year ago, but no one wanted to use it until now... I switched the logging to debug mode and noticed that resource policies are selected before the preview task page is displayed. So I thinking that the embargo patch that I loaded (and customized) last year to accommodate our ETDs is the culprit. I've also loaded Tim Donahue's Configurable Submission system... Thanks again for your help - I'll take it from here and email the list if it's not my own customization bug...eek...

[Dspace-tech] Understanding Workflow Authorizations
Hello all, I thought I understood the workflow authorizations in Dspace, but I'm beginning to think I may not - Here's the scenario 1 - User uploads an item. 2 - Collection admin logs into the 'My Account' page and sees the submission. 3 - Collection admin 'Takes the Task' and then 'Accepts the Task'. 4 - On the 'Perform Task' page, collection admin sees a summary of the metadata, file name and description and license as well as opens to 'Approve', 'Reject' etc. I thought at this point, the admin would be able to open the file to look at it; however, there is no link for the file. Maybe a silly questions, but is there an authorization that I can set to allow the collection admin to be able to open the file while it's still in an unapproved state? I have given the collection admin the following authorizations: default_item_read default_bitstream_read collection_admin Thanks for your help, Susan - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Dspace-tech] advanced/wildcard authorization help!
I cannot access the items file at all from the item display page either being logged in or not. I can see the metadata, however. With default_bitstream_read VCU users, default_item_read VCU users set I would assume the same thing :) With both set (and nothing set for anonymous), you would be able to see my collections page, but when you clicked on an item, you would get prompted to login. That works great. What doesn't work in this scenario is the ability to actually access the file (pdf, txt, etc.) for the item. Does this make sense? Claudia Jürgen wrote: Hi Susan, what do you mean by can't see the item's file? with default_bitstream_read VCU users default_item_read VCU users set on a collection any item and it's bitstreams submitted to a collection should only be visible to VCU users.

Hi Claudia, I am always checking 'New items should be publicly read' which may be the source of the problem. I'm going to try to create another collection this way and see how it goes. thanks again! Claudia Jürgen wrote: Hi Susan, hmm, that seems a bit weird. Basically, if you want to set up a collection with it's content both item and bitstreams restricted this is done during the creation of the collection. Uncheck the first box in the Describe the collection page which states New items should be publicly readable. In the next step enter your Collection information, then you got to Authorization to Read. There select the group which should be able to access (read) the items. Finish your collection creation and this will result in the appropriate rights of DEFAULT_ITEM_READ and DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ set to the group you selected.

Thanks Stuart, I ended up writing a php script to connect to the ldap server from our dspace server. Worked. Long story short. There were about 3 changes going on at the same time. The only one I had control over was a stupid error on my part - through the course of the past few weeks, the config file was clobbered (only on 1 line) and one letter was changed in the ldap object context.

If it does, the problem will be with DSpace (although you say you have changed anything so hopefully it is fine), or if it doesn't, the problem will be with the LDAP service. If it does also fail, it gives you a nice tool to take to the LDAP administrators to show that connections are not working. They should be able to turn on tracing to watch authentication attempts to their LDAP service to see what is happening. Good luck!

Hello all, Not sure that this is really the right place for this question...but since I've been seeing a lot of Apache/Tomcat questions lately on the list, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm wondering if you all are aware of any drawbacks to running Tomcat with SSL rather than Apache with SSL. Currently, I have Tomcat 5 configured to run on :80 and SSL on :443. What are the differences between doing this and running Apache on :80, SSL on :443 and running Tomcat behind Apache? Is anyone aware of performance issues with Dspace (or other Tomcat) applications? The only reason I need SSL is for our Dspace login page which uses LDAP. Are most folks using Apache?

You can edit it in: [tomcat]/dspace/styles.css.jsp JSPs usually automatically compile whenever they are changed, you don't need to worry about editing them in [dspace-src] and then recompiling and redeploying DSpace. The only caveat is to remember to copy your final version back into [dspace-src] so you don't loose your changes.

I'm getting ready to do this (I don't like having to recompile each time I change a style) and wanted to see if there were any gotchas. Is there a central location that I change the path from .jsp to .css? Thanks in advance! - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
