Re: [Dspace-tech] v1.6 updating dspace.cfg?
Just to clarify Mike, before doing the ant update_configs, did you run: mvn package from [dspace-source]/dspace? So the process I generally follow is: cd [dspace-source]/dspace mvn package cd target/dspace-x.x.x-build.dir ant init_configs (or ant update_configs) (or ant -Dconfig=/[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update) (or ant update_configs -Doverwrite=true) I don't mean to confuse you with this last line, it's just that I'm confused myself about it - see my post "Poorly worded documentation" (still haven't had any replies to that one, so I'm not sure if I'm the only confused numbskull or if everyone else is so confused they don't know what to tell me). Finally, I can't remember off the top of my head, but after this process you may need to restart your servlet container (in your case, tomcat).

Re: [Dspace-tech] v1.6 updating dspace.cfg?
Hi If you update the config file using ant, make sure you specify the flag overwrite=true; E.g. ant update_configs -Doverwrite=true If you don't specify this, the new config file will be written to dspace.cfg.new.

[Dspace-tech] v1.6 updating dspace.cfg?
Hi, I just installed a vanilla DSpace 1.6.2 and had it running in the most basic way (i.e. just updating the basic config with the info required to get it up and running, before the application was built using “ant fresh_install”). I had the application responding at http://dspacedev.stir.ac.uk:8080/jspui/ and was able to log on using my newly created admin account, but didn’t do anything to the system (in terms of setting up Communities and Collections etc). The next thing I tried to do was to make a minor config change (just a simple change to “dspace.name”) in order to test the process of making config changes and getting them into DSpace 1.6 . . . Unfortunately, despite banging my head against it for quite a while I’ve not been able to incorporate this simple change into DSpace :-( Following the manual, I made the change to dspace.cfg in [dspace-source]/dspace/config As the user running Tomcat, I did the following: cd /usr/src/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.6.2-build.dir ant update_configs - and expected this to update the config file in [dspace]/dspace/config, however, when I check this file, it is still the old version (i.e. doesn't contain the updated dspace.name value) . . . I see that there are 2 new files in the [dspace]/config directory – dspace.cfg.default and dspace.cfg.new, but neither of these contains the updated value for dspace.name that appears in the config file in [dspace-source]/dspace/config . . . I've checked permissions (always the first place to start ;-) ), and everything appears to be owned by my tomcat user, so I don't think that is the issue . . . Have I misunderstood the process? Or perhaps I’m doing something wrong? Any pointers, hints, or tips welcome :-) Cheers, Mike Michael White eLearning Developer eLearning Liaison & Development (eLD) 3V3a, Cottrell University of Stirling Stirling SCOTLAND FK9 4LA Email: michael.wh...@stir.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0) 1786 466877 Fax: +44 (0) 1786 466880 http://www.is.stir.ac.uk/aboutis/teams/aldt/eld.php -- The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2009/2010 The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
