Hello Robert. We just went through an install on Ubuntu 7.04. For the most part, the instructions here were helpful - http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Installing_DSpace_on_Ubuntu_6.06_(LTS). As for setting Tomcat to user dspace, I believe this is done by editing the /etc/default/tomcat5.5 and setting the line:
TOMCAT5_USER=dspace There are some additional Tomcat-related steps in the above link, such as setting permissions, etc. Take a look.

Because I did not installed the Ubuntu package tomcat5.5 with all it's dependencies. Instead I downloded the apache-tomcat-5.5.25.tar.gz from Apache (http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi). The reason was that DSpace needs to run Tomcat as user dspace. An when I install the Ubuntu package Tomcat runs as user 'tomcat55'. To solve this conflict I installed Tomcat manually. And now it is hard to see via 'aptitude' (or 'synaptic') which packages I am missing. The easiest way would be to take the Ubuntu package - but how to solve the conflict between the users 'dspace' and 'tomcat55'?
