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
