BACK TO STEP 8

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

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. 

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. 

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: 

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
