Hi Charlene,

That RedHat guide is useful for where to put standard system libraries or
local variants, for when the server is likely to be shared among many uses.

Two definitions to keep track of: [dspace] the compiled version and
[dspace-source] the source version.

For development, on OSX, I use:
[dspace-source] = /Users/peterdietz/Projects/peterDSpace
[dspace] = /dspace

See: https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=55904164

For production:
We actually have a build server that holds all of the source, which then
gets copied to the individual application servers (we host many instances
and have many servers), but essentially it looks like:
[dspace-source] = /home/site-name/source
[dspace] = /home/site-name/

Another layout you could use if you only have one instance of DSpace is:
[dspace-source] = /dspace-source
[dspace] = /dspace

There are a dozen or so install guides contributed by various users, which
might be helpful. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Installation
Note: These are unofficial guides.

Hi, as we've set up a shiny, full-access server, I wanted to see what
folks have been doing regarding file locations and best/better practices. I
know that the deployment is pretty much set (to /var/lib/tomcat/webapps)
but was wondering what people may suggest for managing the source/build and
install locations.

I've seen some that suggest putting it in the dspace user's home directory
(e.g., /home/dspace/src and /home/dspace/dspace).

Reading through FHS (
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/s1-filesystem-fhs.html),
though, I'm wondering if I should set the source directory to
/usr/local/src/dspace and the install to /usr/local/dspace.

Any thoughts folks may have are greatly appreciated.

Hi All

For the purposes of disaster recovery, I choose /home/dspace for everything.
