Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6 & Handle server

2010-04-02 Thread Jason Fowler

I removed solr, and that didn't appear to really change anything.The hangup 
still happened. I did watch catalina.out again, and I saw these lines right at 
the hangup.

INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/5.5.26
Apr 2, 2010 1:54:21 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost start
INFO: XML validation disabled
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger 
(org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.sax).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

It seems it's hanging at that line. I looked at my log4j.properties, and there 
is nothing strange in it. It looks like the standard DSpace-supplied 
log4j.properties file. 

I googled around for an answer to the problem, but couldn't find anything 
definite.

Hi Jason,

You can disable the solr webapp by removing the whole solr directory from 
[tomcat]/webapps.

Your storage server may be slowing down the loading of the solr index, but 10 
minutes sounds quite severe. You could test it by moving the indexes to the 
local disk. They shouldn't get too big, so hopefully you'll have the space. 
They are normally kept in [dspace]/solr so move them to a local disk, then edit 
[tomcat]/solr/WEB-INF/web.xml

Look for:


solr/home
java.lang.String
/dspace/solr



And edit /dspace/solr as appropriate for the new location of your solr index.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6 & Handle server

2010-04-01 Thread Jason Fowler
Mark,

I'm not sure exactly how to disable the solr webapplication. Any suggestions?

The file access is pretty quick. We've never had any trouble before. We have an 
app server for running the webapps and a storage server for everything else.

It looks like the delay is before the solr servlet init log entry is
being called, IE before solr is loaded, disable the solr
webapplication from loading and test if the delay is still there

Likewise, what is the storage mount situation you are using here?   If

local file system and testing if that speeds your loading time.

Finally, we have rather large solr indexes of statistics in production
that do not have load times anywhere near this degree of slowness.

It looks like the delay is before the solr servlet init log entry is
being called, IE before solr is loaded, disable the solr
webapplication from loading and test if the delay is still there

Likewise, what is the storage mount situation you are using here?   If
file access is slow across this mount, that be slowing Lucene access
within Solr.  You may try, moving your solr data directory onto the
local file system and testing if that speeds your loading time.

Finally, we have rather large solr indexes of statistics in production
that do not have load times anywhere near this degree of slowness.

Hi Jason,

How slow is slow? (Is it the handle server that is slow to startup, or tomcat?)

DSpace 1.6 will take slightly longer than earlier versions to start up as it 
now has to start a new webapp (solr) and 'warm up' the solr indexes. Somewhere 
between 20 seconds and a minute should be normal.

As a tangent, You can run the webapps like solr on separate tomcat
instances if this becomes a concern. They seldom need to be restarted
as often as DSpace does.  In fact, there are very good scalability
strategies that are oriented around replicating solr instances across
a cluster of tomcat nodes and "sharding" the indexes to improve the
performance and scalability of the application.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6 & Handle server

Hi Jason,

How slow is slow? (Is it the handle server that is slow to startup, or tomcat?)

DSpace 1.6 will take slightly longer than earlier versions to start up as it 
now has to start a new webapp (solr) and 'warm up' the solr indexes. Somewhere 
between 20 seconds and a minute should be normal.

Thanks,

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6 & Handle server

2010-04-01 Thread Jason Fowler
I think I have my problem solved. It all had to do with the way I had 
dspace.BaseUrl configured. I removed the xmlui from the end, and everything 
went back to working like normal. 

The startup is still painfully slow, though. Would anyone have any idea why?

Subject: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6 & Handle server

I'm having a puzzling problem. I am updating my system from DSpace 1.52 to 1.6. 
I'm running RHEL Server release 5.3 (Tikanga).
My Java version is 1.5.0_20
My Tomcat version is 5.5.26 and I'm using mod_proxy_ajp to redirect to port 80.

I have upgraded correctly on my live server and everything works fine except 
handle (well, startup is a little slower, but I'm not sure why that is.). 
Whenever I run the handle server and visit a handle, the whole screen goes 
white and DSpace goes out in the weeds. Nothing works at that point. The whole 
system crashes. What makes it worse is that I don't see any cause for it in any 
of the log files. Does anyone have any ideas what causes this and how I might 
fix it?

I tested the upgrade pretty rigorously on a  Fedora 12 virtual machine with no 
problems prior to upgrading.  Of course, handle was the one thing I didn't have 
a way to test.

Jason,
Check your hosts file comparing with your virtual machine.
I had same problem that you my handle server is not worked, the hostname had
resolving a internal IP and we need to resolve a external IP (internet IP).

[Dspace-tech] DSpace 1.6 & Handle server

2010-04-01 Thread Jason Fowler
I'm having a puzzling problem. I am updating my system from DSpace 1.52 to 1.6. 
I'm running RHEL Server release 5.3 (Tikanga).
My Java version is 1.5.0_20
My Tomcat version is 5.5.26 and I'm using mod_proxy_ajp to redirect to port 80.

I have upgraded correctly on my live server and everything works fine except 
handle (well, startup is a little slower, but I'm not sure why that is.). 
Whenever I run the handle server and visit a handle, the whole screen goes 
white and DSpace goes out in the weeds. Nothing works at that point. The whole 
system crashes. What makes it worse is that I don't see any cause for it in any 
of the log files. Does anyone have any ideas what causes this and how I might 
fix it?

I tested the upgrade pretty rigorously on a  Fedora 12 virtual machine with no 
problems prior to upgrading.  Of course, handle was the one thing I didn't have 
a way to test.
