We've been running DSpace 1.6.2 in testing for over a month, and in production for a week, using the java-1.6.0-sun packages, from the RHEL Supplementary channel, as well. This howto on the wiki:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Installing+DSpace+on+Red+Hat+Enterprise+Linux+5 still works, just substitute 1.6.0 instead of 1.5.0 for the java packages. If you forget, and ask for the 1.5.0 packages, RHEL will just attempt to uninstall any 1.5.0 java packages and install 1.6.0 for you. Actually, there are a few other packages that this howto doesn't mention. According to my notes, here's the complete list of packages: java-1.6.0-sun java-1.6.0-sun-devel java-1.6.0-sun-jdbc tomcat5 tomcat5-webapps tomcat5-admin-webapps xml-commons-apis ant-apache-regexp Something that might catch you off guard, if you're changing the owner of tomcat stuff to the "dspace" user, you'll need to change the TOMCAT_USER environment variable in two places: /etc/sysconfig/tomcat5 and /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf Oh, and sending e-mail from DSpace won't work until you make the changes suggested by this thread: http://old.nabble.com/javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException:-smtp-td17671684.html To save you the reading, here's what I did: cd /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib/ && sudo rm \[javamail\].jar sudo alternatives --install /usr/share/java/javamail.jar javamail /dspace/webapps/xmlui/WEB-INF/lib/mail-1.4.jar 4289 sudo alternatives --config javamail Hmm... I think I need to just put this stuff in the wiki. I will look into that today. --Hardy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
