The link helix84 sent along is a bit outdated (from 2010). These days, I've found that often the easiest way to run multiple DSpace sites on a server is to run multiple Tomcat instances (one per site) on different ports (e.g. one site/Tomcat responding on port 8080 and another on port 8081). You can then put an Apache webserver in front of them (on port 80) which uses mod_proxy to forward requests to the proper Tomcat instance, based on the URL being requested. Running multiple sites on separate Tomcat's also has the distinct advantage of allowing you to restart/reboot one site without affecting the other(s).
Examples of setting up Apache with mod_proxy in front of Tomcat can be found in the DSpace installation instructions at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-UsingSSLonApacheHTTPDinfrontofTomcat(runningonports80and443) To setup multiple sites with multiple Tomcat instances, you'd get two Tomcat sites running on separate ports (including separate AJP ports), and then create a separate Apache VirtualHost configuration per site (see the examples) which tells Apache to forward requests to a particular URL on to a specific Tomcat instance (via its AJP port) The multiple sites can use the same instance of PostgreSQL as long as they use *separate* databases within PostgreSQL. Or if you'd rather, they could use separate instances of PostgreSQL altogether. In other words, each DSpace site MUST have a unique "db.url" setting in dspace.cfg (either specifying different ports for different PostgreSQL instances...or using the same port, but specifying different database names). I hope that helps! Tim On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 4:09 AM Shaun donovan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all. > > Just an observation.
