I think we're hardly typical, but here goes:
For our FOLIO instance of DSpace we split the DSpace install into
static directories:
/opt/folio/bin
/opt/folio/config
/opt/folo/etc
/opt/folio/handle-server
/opt/folio/lib
/opt/folio/solr
/opt/folio/webapps
and volatile directories:
/var/lib/folio/assetstore
/var/lib/folio/exports
/var/lib/folio/history
/var/lib/folio/log
/var/lib/folio/reports
/var/lib/folio/search
/var/lib/folio/sitemaps
/var/lib/folio/statistics
/var/lib/folio/upload
I'm an old-school sysadmin. and like to keep code separate so I can
mount it read-only if I choose.
We run directly out of /opt/folio/webapps/* using external Context
descriptors:
# cat /etc/tomcat-7/Catalina/folio.iupui.edu/ROOT.xml
<Context docBase='/opt/folio/webapps/xmlui'>
<Parameter
name="dspace-config"
value="/opt/folio/config/dspace.cfg"
description="Path to the DSpace configuration file." />
</Context>
(This is

step 9 Technique A.)
We don't have a 'dspace' user; the DSpace files are owned by Tomcat's
user ('tomcat') since we install our distro's packaged Tomcat and it
comes that way. I have built while 'su'ed to 'tomcat', in a directory
off of Tomcat's home.
