Hi Sean, [ http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DspaceOnStandardPorts ]
I've added a section for mod_proxy_ajp in the above. The steps involved are less intricate than what you've described. Give that a go. -- Van Ly From: Sean Carte Sent: Thu 26/03/2009 12:49 AM To: dspace-tech Subject: [Dspace-tech] DSpace on Port 80 I've been trying to use Apache and mod_proxy to redirect queries to port 80, following the instructions at http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DspaceOnStandardPorts I've got everything working so long as I browse to /xmlui. Going to the server's root page simply gives me a blank screen. This is documented in the wiki as follows: " In order to display the dspace home page, not the tomcat home page when accessing http://rose.bris.ac.uk 1. Create a page called HelloWorld.jsp in the directory below: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/ 2. Add the following lines to the HelloWorld.jsp: <% response.sendRedirect("/dspace/"); %> Next. In the same directory, add the following to index.jsp just after the <body> tag:- <body> <jsp:forward page="HelloWorld.jsp"/> 3. Edit: ../ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml, disable the following text as follows: 4. Re-start tomcat " I don't have a ROOT directory anywhere on my system. Should I simply create it in the tomcat install directory </var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/>? Then what about the files that it's supposed to contain? Am I missing something? It also looks like that wiki page is missing some instructions for 3. What should that be? I did find something in the archives that suggested: " redirect tomcat's ROOT webapp to dspace using a symlink: ln -s /tomcat/home/webapps/ROOT /your/dspace/installation/webapps/jspui " I tried that, but it didn't work, I used `ln -s /dspace/webapps/ROOT /dspace/webapps/xmlui`. I'm tempted to give up and try the iptables approach instead, but it looks like I'm almost there ...
