[Dspace-tech] OpenSearch support?

2007-11-15 Thread Mark H. Wood
There's interest here in adding OpenSearch support to our DSpaces. I found some two-year-old pages suggesting the possiblity of such, but the author seems to have moved on. There's no mention of OpenSearch on the DSpace Wiki. Has this been done? -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer [EMAIL

Hi Billy I think you want to look at the web.xml file in WEB-INF, not the one in conf - it's either the web.xml under: [tomcat]/webapps/dspace/WEB-INF Or: [tomcat]/WEB-INF I'm not sure which is the pertinent one - I suspect the former. In any case, there should be reference to your dspace.cfg

If you get an Apache test page when browsing http://localhost:8080 then your Apache is running on port 8080. It might also be listening on port 80, but Apache probably gets port 8080 before Tomcat is started. What happens if you try http://localhost:80/ ? My guess is you get the Apache test page

Hi Billy, You do not need to use Apache with a "default" Dspace installation. In step 3 you say you receive an Apache Test page at http://localhost:8080. Typically you should receive a Tomcat page at that URL. Either setup Tomcat to run on port 8080, or if Tomcat is running on another port (for
