SUNScholar/Rebuild DSpace

Log into your server and type the following:

su - dspace

mkdir /home/dspace/scripts

nano /home/dspace/scripts/build-webapps

Tip: It is always a good idea to maximise the open nano window so that the copy and paste of long lines does not wrap around.

Copy and paste the following into the open nano editor.

#!/bin/bash
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
echo "Cleaning out old xmlui cache files"
sudo rm /var/lib/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/_/cache-dir/cocoon-ehcache.data
sudo rm /var/lib/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/_/cache-dir/cocoon-ehcache.index
echo "Clean out old webapps"
sudo rm -rf /home/dspace/webapps/*
echo "Start MAVEN packaging"
cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.6.2-src-release
mvn package -U clean package
echo "Start ANT build"
cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.6.2-build.dir
ant -Doverwrite=true update clean_backups
echo "Remove old catalina log file"
sudo rm /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
clear
echo "To be sure, the machine needs to be re-booted to ensure that the handle server is also ok"

Save the file.

Type the following:

chmod 0755 /home/dspace/scripts/build-webapps

Now you can rebuild Dspace by typing the following at anytime.

/home/dspace/scripts/build-webapps
