[Dspace-tech] mod_proxy versus mod_jk with DSpace Tomcat
Has anyone tried using mod_proxy with Tomcat and Apache? We have been using mod_jk for years in connecting Tomcat with Apache. It has worked failry well, allthough mod_jk sometimes seems to make Apache hang which then needs to be restarted. Recently I started experiencing with mod_proxy. It seems to work well, but today I noticed that I cannot login to DSpace on proxied address?? After entering my userid and password I am subsequently being thrown back to login page. If I try to login on the real address (non proxied) of the instance, everything works fine. Any clues what might be causing this and how to fix this?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Install dspace unsucessful
Hi, It looks like you have a permissions problem somewhere. See the error in the log... access denied (java.io.FilePermission /usr/share/java/jsp-api-2.1.jar read) Could you enter ls -l /usr/share/java/jsp-api-2.1.jar And tell me what it says ? Could you also run ls -l against the directory where you have installed tomcat and the 'dspace' directory ? Cheers, Robin. Actually I'm a little surprised that it is looking for that jar in that directory but that is another problem.

[Dspace-tech] journal volumes, issues, article and the introductory text metadata
I am planning to use model journals, volumes, issues and articles by having a journal as a collection and all the articles as items within that collection. I plan to use the introductory text metadata in a collection to hold the volume, issue, article ordering id, year, month and page range for each article. The problem I worried about is this: will the intro text metadata field be big enough. I will have lots of back files over decades for each journal. So a journal with 50 years, say, and an issue per month with around 20 articles per issue, will require 12000 metadata 'rows' for this field. That's a lorra lorra data to put in one field! Do people think this is doable? What limit, if any, is there for this field? -- Regards, Andrew M. http://www.andrewpetermarlow.co.uk -- ___ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech

Re: [Dspace-tech] Manakin and Admin Utilities With Apache Redirection
2009/4/1 Sean Carte sean.ca...@gmail.com: I've been trying to get the XMLUI interface to work with Apache redirection, but I can't access the admin utilities (everything else works): For example, this URL: http://10.4.36.18/admin/metadata-registry results in this error: HTTP Status 404 - /admin/metadata-registry type Status report message /admin/metadata-registry description The requested resource (/admin/metadata-registry) is not available. ... I have noticed that, when using the xml ui, if I append xmlui to the URL, everything works, e.g.: http://10.4.36.18/xmlui/admin/metadata-registry Here's a simple workaround: Override the header in your xsl file and replace a xsl:attribute name=href xsl:value-of select=/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:userMeta/ dri:metada...@element='identifier' and @qualifier='loginURL']/ /xsl:attribute with: a href=xmlui/login This makes the 'Login' link at the top right of the screen include the 'xmlui', which from then on will be part of the path. Thereafter, it's a simple matter of persuading admin users to use that link to log in.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Problems of authentication
I would suggest *not* using Ident authentication for DSpace's access to the database. Since you are providing the driver a username and a password, you should be using one of the password authentication methods. I usually use 'md5'. This is set in the fifth column (METHOD) of the pg_hba.conf file. Ident authentication requires that either: o the username in which the process runs is identical to the database username used to establish the database connection; or o you have set up an ident map file to map the OS username to the DBMS username. Unless you have rather unusual requirements, Ident authentication is probably not what you want. -- Mark H.
