Installing DSpace, Slackware 64-bit 14.0 stable. I'm stumbling over the mechanics of installing Apache-Tomcat and DSpace with the same UID (getting dumber by the hour in my old age) and could use a little advice.
Apache-Tomcat requires a user account and group, DSpace requires a user account and group that is the same as Apache-Tomcat. I'm not wrapping my head around that too well. I'm thinking I can build and install Apache-Tomcat as "tomcat" then edit /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group and change "tomcat" to "dspace" (and probably change the home directory at some point -- Apache-Tomcat lives in /var/lib/tomcat, DSpace doesn't I believe). I try to install and maintain software with as little tweaking as possible so I don't have long-term problems when software updates come along; can somebody give me a hint what you did (and maybe how you did it)? I know I can simply copy-paste in passwd, shadow and group, but that's kind of a no-no and this installation is going into a institution that's (hopefully) going to be around a lot longer than I will, you know? Don't want to get too fancy and make it hard on the next guy. Thanks. -- A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette
