Re: [Dspace-tech] Authorisation error on rss feeds

2010-07-27 Thread Brouns, Francis
Hallo Tim, Thanks for your response. We have numerous error messages, and I have not yet been able to trace them to a single cause. At first I thought they were related to the outofmemory error because of the time the RSS errors occurred. That seemed to coincide with the filtermedia and stats

[Dspace-tech] Dspace: Postgres vs. Oracle

2010-07-27 Thread Evans, Kevin
Hi, Just a general question. We currently have two Dspace repositories running Postgres and are about to build another. We are considering using Oracle for the new database. Can anyone give pros and cons of using Oracle? Cheers Kevin Kevin Evans MA Web Services Developer,

It's my (perhaps skewed?) perception that there is a much larger number of Postgres DSpace installs out there, thus it is the more heavily tested option. Also, all things being equal, isn't it far more expensive to run an Oracle instance, vs. the free Postgres license? You would also be

Hi, That Internal System Error message is a generic DSpace system message which, unfortunately, does not provide the information we need to help you resolve the problem. In order to figure out what the real underlying error is, you'll have to look at the DSpace Log files. Please see the How

Francis, One other thing that came to mind: If the RSS feeds work at times, is it only certain RSS feeds that have this problem? So, if this error is consistently only coming from a particular Community or Collection RSS feed, then that may point to something being corrupt (or just slightly

Hi Asmaa, You'll need to provide us all with more information about the problem you are encountering (as it's difficult to tell for sure why it may not be working without more information). You should first verify that your subscriptions are being scheduled to be sent on a daily basis --

Hi Kevin, I just finished migrating a Dspace instance away from Oracle, so have run the same Dspace instance under both Postgres and Oracle. I also saw a dramatic speed bump after running under Postgres, but the hardware was newer, so cannot be completely certain it was just due to the

Dear Tim, thanks for your extensive reply. It is the case that RSS feeds from the same community or collection at times work fine and at other times fail. At those times I still can browse the site, collections and items. So, it does not look like Oracle has run out of connections. I'll ask

[Dspace-tech] Manakin customization for 1.4.2 to 1.6.2

Hi list, We have upgraded our DSpace from 1.4.2 JSP to 1.6.2 Manakin. We are not sure how to customize the Manakin interface. We didn't find any template in DSpace-source directory. We tried to find some documentation, but the 1.6.2 documentation assumes that we already have themes from 1.5.2,

Hardy, Thanks for the reply! We don't have dspace-xmlui directory under dspace-source, is there anything wrong with the installation? Can I copy the dspace-xmlui folder (or just the theme templates) from DSpace 1.5 (a test machine) to DSpace 1.6.2? Sophie

Hi, Sophie, if you're using the source distribution, the themes folder can be found here: dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/themes There are a few example themes in there. I've had pretty good luck starting with just the template theme, but if you want

It sounds to me like you're actually using the release version, not the source version. For the release versions, you put your themes under: dspace/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/ Where dspace is wherever you have your working directory for dspace (not where you're publishing it,

Hi fellow dspacers, We just noticed that our authority browse index was only including items for which the first author is recognized. A recognized author in any other position wasn't good enough. So a significant number of items that should have been in our browse index weren't. Here's the
