Hi , I am installing Dspace 1.3.2 for some purpose , i am using these steps
Quick Installation Steps *But First, a Word on Directories and Path Names* DSpace uses three separate directory trees. Although you don't need to know all the details of them in order to install DSpace, you do need to know they exist and also know how they're referred to in this document: - the source directory, referred to as *[dspace-source]* - the install directory, referred to as *[dspace]* - the web deployment directory. If you're using Tomcat, this will be * [tomcat]*/webapps/dspace (with *[tomcat]* being wherever you installed Tomcat--also known as $CATALINA_HOME). This directory is generated by the web server when it unpacks dspace.war, and should never be edited. For details on the contents of these separate directory trees, refer to directories.html<file:///home/trojan/Desktop/dspace-1.3.2-source/docs/directories.html>. *Note that the source directory and install directory should always be separate!* 1. Create the DSpace user. This needs to be the same user that Tomcat (or Jetty etc) will run as. e.g. as root run: useradd -m dspace 2. Download the latest DSpace source code release<http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/>and unpack it: gunzip -c dspace-source-1.x.tar.gz | tar -xf - 3. Copy the PostgreSQL JDBC driver (.jar file) into *[dspace-source]*/lib. If you compiled PostgreSQL yourself, it'll be in postgresql-7.x.x/src/interfaces/jdbc/jars/postgresql.jar. Alternatively you can download it directly from the PostgreSQL JDBC site<http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html>. Make sure you get the driver for the version of PostgreSQL you're running and for JDBC2. 4. Create a dspace database, owned by the dspace PostgreSQL user: createuser -U postgres -d -A -P dspace ; createdb -U dspace -E UNICODE dspace Enter a password for the DSpace database. (This isn't the same as the dspace user's UNIX password.) 5. Edit *[dspace-source]*/config/dspace.cfg, in particular you'll need to set these properties: dspace.url dspace.hostname dspace.name db.password (the password you entered in the previous step) mail.server mail.from.address feedback.recipient mail.admin alert.recipient (not essential but very useful!) Note that if you change dspace.dir you'll also need to change other properties with values that start with /dspace, e.g. assetstore.dir, log.dir... 6. Create the directory for the DSpace installation. As root, run: mkdir *[dspace]* ; chown dspace *[dspace]* (Assuming the dspace UNIX username.) 7. As the dspace UNIX user, compile and install DSpace: cd *[dspace-source]* ; ant fresh_install The most likely thing to go wrong here is the database connection. See the common problems section<file:///home/trojan/Desktop/dspace-1.3.2-source/docs/install.html#problems> . 8. Copy the DSpace Web application archives (.war files) to the appropriate directory in your Tomcat/Jetty/Resin installation. For example: cp *[dspace-source]*/build/*.war *[tomcat]*/webapps 9. Create an initial administrator account: *[dspace]*/bin/create-administrator 10. Now the moment of truth! Start up (or restart) Tomcat. Visit the base URL of your server, e.g. http://dspace.myu.edu:8080/dspace. You should see the DSpace home page. Congratulations! Now i stuck at step 8 .. i couldnt find excat location of webapps Possible location which i found are , /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps can u please tell me which location to use (by the way i have used both but still its not working ). and when i type http://localhost:8080/dspace/dspace-admin i get a blank screen . And also tell me if anything else can be wrong . I am using ubuntu 9.04 , tomcat 6 , postgresql 8.3 . Thanx
