Re: [Dspace-tech] Two instances on one server - solved

[Mika Stenberg]

Just to for the record,

Robins solution worked. By assigning different ports to each handle 
server they can run on the same server smoothly.

Thanks for the tips.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Two instances on one server

[Mark H. Wood]

I would add that I've learned *never* to use a form of the name
"dspace" for directories, users, databases, .war files, etc.  If an
instance will present itself as "Foo" then I'd name the [DSpace]
directory "foo", the database "foo", and the database user "foo", the
webapp.s "foo.war" and "foo-oai.war", and let the username used to run
Tomcat be "tomcat".  Otherwise, multiple instances on one host can be
confusing.  I ought to submit a patch for the documentation.

Even if you use identical sources for each instance, if I were you I'd
maintain three separate directory trees in which to configure and
build them, to preserve what's left of my sanity.

On one server I have three instances, each with its own IP-based
virtual host setup.  Given that I needed to do that anyway, a happy
side-effect is that each can be at the root of its own URL local-part.
The handle resolvers are listening on separate addresses, so the
standard ports don't conflict.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Two instances on one server

[Robin Taylor]

We do have more than one handle server running on the same machine. Cant
rememebr the details of what we did but looking at the
handle-server/config.dct file I can see that we are using different ports
for the "server_type" = "server" entry in each installation.

Hope that is some help.

Cheers, Robin.

Just repeat the normal install process but place the files on another

Running two instances is not a problem. However it seems you cant run two
handle servers on a same server so the other instance would have to be left
without working handles.

If someone has a solution for the handle problem, please let me know.

[Mika Stenberg]

Just repeat the normal install process but place the files on another 
directory and name the db for the second installation as dspace2 for 
example.

Running two instances is not a problem. However it seems you cant run 
two handle servers on a same server so the other instance would have to 
be left without working handles.

If someone has a solution for the handle problem, please let me know.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Two instances on one server

[Graham Triggs]

2? Try 20 instances on a single Tomcat!

Anyway - according to your specific questions:

1) Tomcat configurations - in a 'standard' installation, you don't need 
to change the Tomcat config much (apart from adding the UTF-8 
encoding)... as long as your instances are modelled in that fashion, 
then there are no changes to Tomcat required to host multiple instances.

2) Postgres - the easiest way to host multiple instances is to add a 
database and user within your Postgres instances. That way all the data 
is separate. You may need to change the DatabaseManager, so that it 
passes the database (schema/user) name in the JDBC call that gets the 
metadata for a table - although 1.5 incorporates this, and you only need 
to add a "db.schema" line to your dspace.cfg.

3) Each instance will (need to) have it's own 'installation', and 
therefore it's own config. There is nothing special about those 
dspace.cfg files, but you will need to ensure that each has the correct 
dspace.dir and postgres login information, etc. for that instance.

A little more critically, you will need to ensure that the web.xml in 
your DSpace web applications refers to the correct location for the 
dspace.cfg file for each instance.

I know this has been done before and I've ignore those references, but
does someone have a

brief set of directions to add additional instances of Dspace?
Specifically:

 

1. Tomcat configurations 

 

 

2.  Postgresql  database

 

Create a new db as dspaceT

 

3.  Dspace config

 

Dspace.dir = c:/dspaceT

Db.url = . :5432/dspaceT

 

In C:\DSPace141\build file change 



http://localhost:8080/dspaceT

 

 

TIA,
