Hi all,
I'm fairly new to DSpace, and recently set up a clean server build with 1.8.1.
I've published a post on our project blog going through what we did:
http://rdm.c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/content/installing-dspace
Mostly, the installation (from the non-source release) went fine, but there
were a few tweaks needed:
Having set up PostgreSQL security, a local connection was no longer sufficient
so "-h localhost" was needed so that TCP/IP was used:
createdb -U dspace -W -h localhost -E UNICODE dspace
The maven build complained that several folders hadn't been created and failed
(actually it failed individually for each folder causing several reruns):
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/lni/src/main/webapp
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/oai/src/main/webapp
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/sword/src/main/webapp
[dspace-source]/dspace/modules/swordv2/src/main/webapp
We ran out of disk space (as we were using a virtual machine that automatically
allocated disk space when needed) finally discovering that the installation
process needed ca. 3Gb space available.
It would be handy if the installation instructions included the necessary
"undo" steps for when maven or ant builds fail - deleting the target folder, or
deleting the dspace folder and dropping the database respectively.
I'm guessing the right thing to do would be to put this on JIRA ?
Otherwise… looking at the post, a "Powered by DSpace" logo may be a nice thing
for the project…
Also, the Sourceforge link on www.dspace.org for downloading DSpace still
points to 1.8.0
All the best,
Steve Welburn
