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.

sudo echo "Waiting 10 seconds for Apache connections to terminate."
sleep 10
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
echo "Cleaning out old xmlui cache"
sudo rm /var/lib/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/_/cache-dir/cocoon-ehcache.data
echo "Start package"
cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.6.2-src-release
mvn package -U clean package
cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.6.2-build.dir
echo "Start Ant"
ant -Doverwrite=true update clean_backups
echo  "Fix permissions"
sudo /root/scripts/fix-permissions
echo "Archive catalina log file"
tar czvf /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out-`date +%U`.gz /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out
rm /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
echo "Waiting 10 seconds for Tomcat server to settle."
sleep 10
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

Replace dspace-1.6.2 with dspace-1.6.0 for DSpace version 1.6.0.

Press CTL+O and CTL+X to save the file and exit nano.

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
