Hi all, Thanks to everybody who sent me a response on Installing Dspace on Linux box. It was highly appreciated. At our institution, we have a mail server managed by our mail administrator who is solidly grounded in Linux. Thus i have no problem as far as integrating a mail server into a Dspace configuration. Unfortunately, other institutions in Ghana don't have a dedicated institutional mail server that can be used. The other problem is that as a Linux Newbie i'm not versed in what takes to install a mail server and then administer it for these institutions. Thus i looked for Dspace Installations steps that would help me solve my problem.
I had this: Sendmail configuration: Simple approach Case I: If your organization has a mail server Open /etc/mail/sendmail.mc Replace the line having dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.your.provider')dnl Remove dnl and enter your mail server name Ex: define(`SMART_HOST', `nsdl.niscair.res.in')dnl Case II: If you want to use the same system as mail server Comment the following line DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl Ex: dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl Save the file (press ESC :wq) Run #m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf #service sendmail restart OR #/etc/init.d/sendmail restart Unfortunately at this step #m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf, my linux system (fedora) tells me it cannot create a certain file (sorry i'm not behind the linux box to tell you the exact file) I will be very happy if anyone can tell me how to implement case II effectively.Please give me the steps. Secondly can anyone give me the steps to setting up a mail server on fedora or centos. Thanks in advance. By the way i know the mail server is just for the sending of mails and for new users to register on the Dspace System. Thus can i ignore it during the installation of Dspace and rather create all the users on the command line using the command /dspace/bin/create-administrator repeatedly until i have created all the users. I have tried it and it seems to work. Thanks in advance for any response.
