Re: [Dspace-tech] browse index config changes not reflecting in nav panel (1.6.2)

[Fred Edwards]

Got it folks...

it appears it WAS a cache issue...

however it doesn't seem to have been the XMLUI cache.. at least not only...

out of whimsy, actually mostly frustration, I deleted the cache in:

/var/cache/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/_/cache-dir

reinitialized the index and then it worked...

so it's resolved...


one final question regarding this, however...

is this something that should be cron'ed as part of regular maintenance?

say, once a month/week/day shut down the services, delete the cache files
and restart?


in the meantime, thank you all for the responses!!

Re: [Dspace-tech] browse index config changes not reflecting in nav panel (1.6.2)

[Peter Dietz]

Hi Fred,

If it is still possible that the odd behavior is just bad caching, here's my
two tricks.

- Add a non-sense unique parameter to the query string of the url.
localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/1234/5678?Unique-Uncached-Parameter

- And the other would be by running the clearcache script I wrote about in:

Re: [Dspace-tech] browse index config changes not reflecting in nav panel (1.6.2)

[Fred Edwards]

when I rebuild this is my procedure

stop apache
stop tomcat
mvn package
ant -Dconfig=[dspace-source]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg update
ant update_configs
ant init_configs
[dspace]/bin/dspace index-init
start apache
start tomcat


I'm using a XMLUI theme, pretty much modified for look only...

not sure if it'll help, or appreciated onlist, but I've attached two
screenshots showing how the nav panel differs in different locations of the
UI...

Hello Fred,

just to make sure what and where you did it. As you wrote you have 
"recompiled" I assume you did:

Edit dspace.cfg in
[dspace-source]/dspace/config

run mvn package
run ant init_configs
run [dspace]/bin/dspace index-init

Btw which theme are you using?

Re: [Dspace-tech] browse index config changes not reflecting in nav panel (1.6.2)

[Fred Edwards]

Sorry, I should have said that I was using XMLUI.

I've deleted the cache from the cache-dir but it wasn't successful

I shut down apache and tomcat

removed the cache

I removed items from browse.index settings in dspace.cfg and did an
index-init

and then I restarted tomcat and apache

I am still also no longer able to sort the order of items in the nav panel
by changing the browse index order in the config...

Re: [Dspace-tech] browse index config changes not reflecting in nav panel (1.6.2)

[Pottinger, Hardy J.]

FYI, the path to the XMLUI cache directory, on my RHEL5 box, is:

/var/cache/tomcat5/work/Catalina/localhost/xmlui/cache-dir

I have this alias set in my .bashrc file:

alias dspace.clearcache='sudo rm 
/var/cache/tomcat5/work/Catalina/localhost/xmlui/cache-dir/cocoon-ehcache.*'

I only empty these after I first shut down tomcat, figuring I'd rather not 
cause Cocoon undue stress. Though it's been a while since I've had to empty the 
cache.

Re: [Dspace-tech] browse index config changes not reflecting in nav panel (1.6.2)

[Graham Triggs]

Which UI are you using - JSP or XML?

If it's XMLUI, then it sounds like it might be caching elements of the
Cocoon pipeline, in which case you should stop the application and remove
the cache from within the web application directory, and/or disable Cocoon
caching.

[Dspace-tech] browse index config changes not reflecting in nav panel (1.6.2)

[Fred Edwards]

as a test, I've recently added a browse index to our dspace and initially it
correctly added the items to the nav. panel...

however, after removing the browse index in the config file the nav panel is
now doing weird things.

at the top level it is retaining menu items for browse that is no longer
there and clicking leads to an error page obviously...

go down a level or two into communities and collections you start finding
the nav panel in some areas do not show these links, others do...

I've recompiled countless times... re-indexed countless times...
re-initialized the index countless times...

the last go I re-added the browse indexes and still the same situation... in
some places on... in others off...

we have a quasi live collection or two in the server, and no test server
currently, so we'd rather not have to completely rebuild...

I'm also loath to:  ant fresh_install   without getting some feedback from
the community on how safe this would be...
