Hello Kim.
Thank's for answering! But the thing is I am exporting from de Webui... :S.
What I do after login in the site as admin is accesing a comunnity and using
teh admin tools (right side of the screen) I click the button "Export
Community" and this message appears :
Thank You
The task is complete, and notification has been sent to the appropriate
people.
When I enter the CLI I see a new zip file corresponding to the exported
comunnity has been created inside exports folder, which has only root access
(And of course I don't have any privileges in the system to do that).
Thank's in advance. Regards
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
I’m assuming that you’re exporting from the CLI here, but if
that’s not the case please say so..
Do you use ‘sudo’ when running dsrun? (I’m guessing so, or you
wouldn’t be able to create the files beneath the exports folder if it’s owned
by root). If so, you’re effectively running the ‘dsrun’ command as root unless
you do something like ‘sudo –u tomcat dsrun org.dspace.app......’ or ‘sudo –u
dspace
dsrun .......’ – the username you pass to sudo should be whatever user dspace
is actually running as.
If you get sudo errors when you try this, you may need to ask
the sysadmin to allow you to sudo ‘dsrun’ as your dspace user as well as (or,
preferably,
instead of!) root. You’ll also want them to change ownership of
[dspace]/export/*
to the dspace user, or you won’t be able to write to it.
There’s no need to be concerned about Dspace itself escalating
privileges to root when it shouldn’t be – the dsrun script will run as whatever
user it thinks is running it (‘effective user’), so if you make sure you can
sudo to the dspace/tomcat user rather than just to root, you should be able to
avoid any root-owned files/dirs being created.
If you’re using the webui or I’m totally barking up the wrong
tree, apologies -- maybe give a few more details about how you’re exporting
items/collections.
Cheers,
Kim

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Strange Behaviour when exporting items and
collections
Hi all.
I was doing some exporting tests with communities and items yesterday and there
was a thing that surprised me. Exported files are stored in a folder on server
called exports/downloads/number. The thing is the owner of this folder is the
root of the system but I don't have any root account on the machine. How is
this possible?? Can Dspace run processes as root??
Thank's and regards.
