Step 8.0 Create web application shortcuts
We create shortcuts (symlinks in the Unix world) in the default Tomcat webapps folder, to the DSpace webapps in the $HOME/webapps folder by typing as follows:
cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/oai
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/sword
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/solr
The following is optional, but nice to have.
sudo ln -s /usr/share/tomcat6-admin/manager
Step 8.1 Configure the default ROOT webapp
DSpace has two web interfaces, the XMLUI and the JSPUI.
This procedure allows you to select which interface will be used as the ROOT webapp.
In other words, the one that does not need a /xmlui or a /jspui URL addition.
Start by removing the default Tomcat ROOT webapp with the following command:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT
Then apply one of the following.
- Please Note: You can only choose one UI as the default ROOT Tomcat webapp!. The other can be referenced as "/" something if needed.
Option A: XMLUI
Complex setup but very customisable using modern web UI technologies and has a low server load.
Type the following to make the XMLUI the default interface.
sudo cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/xmlui ROOT
Option B: JSPUI
Easy to setup but hard to customise and has a high server load.
Type the following to make the JSPUI the default interface.
sudo cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
sudo ln -s /home/dspace/webapps/jspui ROOT
Example listing of DSpace Java webapps in the Tomcat webapp folder
To get a listing of active Tomcat webapps type the following:
sudo cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
sudo ls -l
See example listing below.
dspace@ir1:/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps$ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2012-09-05 11:28 oai -> /home/dspace/webapps/oai lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2012-09-05 11:29 ROOT -> /home/dspace/webapps/xmlui lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2012-09-05 11:28 solr -> /home/dspace/webapps/solr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 2012-09-05 11:29 sword -> /home/dspace/webapps/sword
Step 8.2 Restart Tomcat Server
Type the following.
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
