If you get an Apache test page when browsing http://localhost:8080 then your Apache is running on port 8080. It might also be listening on port 80, but Apache probably gets port 8080 before Tomcat is started. What happens if you try http://localhost:80/ ? My guess is you get the Apache test page. If you look at your Apache configuration file, probably something like /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf (I don't remember if RedHat puts it someplace else). You'll probably see a line like:
Listen 8080 Change it to Listen 80 and restart Apache With NameVirtualHost set, if a server has a number of DNS names, a name not explicitly configured in a VirtualHost stanza is usually treated by Apache like the first-defined VirtualHost (as is http://server.ip.address.digits/ because it doesn't match a particular configured "name"). "localhost" probably doesn't match NameVirtualHost *:80, and gets the globally defined Listen 8080.

Hello, I have been trying to install DSpace on my Fedora Core 5 server to use in a school project for the past several days. I am able to successfully build and install the package, but still cannot access the web interface. Here are the specifications for my project along with the steps I have tried to get it working: Fedora Core 5 (kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5, i386) DSpace version 1.4.2 dspace.dir = /dspace dspace.url = http://localhost:8080/dspace dspace.hostname = localhost Java version "1.6.0_03" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05) Tomcat 5 (installed from Redhat Package Manager/yum interface) Apache 2.2 (installed from Redhat Package Manager/yum interface) PostgreSQL 8.1.9 1 - Regular sequence of Postgres database creation is successful, "ant fresh_install" build is successful, software installed at "/dspace". 2 - Tomcat and Apache are restarted 3 - visiting http://localhost:8080 with Firefox displays Apache Test Page 4 - visiting http://localhost:8080/dspace results in a 404 error: Not Found 5 - visiting http://localhost:8080/dspace/ results in a 503 error: Service Temporarily Unavailable I am positive that both Tomcat and Apache are running; port 8080 is NOT firewalled. The next step I tried was installing the mod_jk connector using the directions at: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ModJk . This did not resolve the problem. Should "ProxyRequests On" and "NameVirtualHost *:80" be uncommented in Apache httpd.conf? Also, do I need to define a < location > in this file? Does anyone have a working Apache configuration file with changes made in respect to DSpace installation? I get the impression this might somehow be related to the problem. It looks as though Tomcat, although running, is not serving DSpace. Any help to get this functioning is greatly appreciated!
