SUNScholar/Install DSpace/S06

Step 6. Compile the DSpace Java webapp

Change directory to the build directory by typing as follows:

cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.8.2-build

Type the following in the above named directory:

ant fresh_install

A lot of information now appears on the screen. Below are shown the last lines confirming success:

     [java] Started: 1349777373408
     [java] Ended: 1349777373778
     [java] Elapsed time: 0 secs (370 msecs)
     [echo] 
     [echo] ====================================================================
     [echo]  The DSpace code has been installed, and the database initialized.
     [echo] 
     [echo]  To complete installation, you should do the following:
     [echo] 
     [echo]  * Setup your Web servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) to look for your
     [echo]    DSpace web applications in: /home/dspace/webapps/
     [echo] 
     [echo]    OR, copy any web applications from /home/dspace/webapps/ to
     [echo]    the appropriate place for your servlet container.
     [echo]    (e.g. '$CATALINA_HOME/webapps' for Tomcat)
     [echo] 
     [echo]  * Make an initial administrator account (an e-person) in DSpace:
     [echo] 
     [echo]    /home/dspace/bin/dspace create-administrator
     [echo] 
     [echo]  * Start up your servlet container (Tomcat etc.)
     [echo] 
     [echo]  You should then be able to access your DSpace's 'home page':
     [echo] 
     [echo]    http://bibj-lt-hgibson.sun.ac.za
     [echo] 
     [echo]  You should also be able to access the administrator UI:
     [echo] 
     [echo]    http://bibj-lt-hgibson.sun.ac.za/dspace-admin
     [echo] ====================================================================
     [echo]         

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Please note: If you change anything later then rebuild your Dspace. Do not run "ant fresh_install" again, this is only done once during installation.

Step 6.1: Setup file permissions

After a successful initial build, we give user "tomcat6" full read and write permissions to the dspace user home folders.

cd

sudo adduser tomcat6 dspace

sudo adduser dspace tomcat6

sudo chown tomcat6.dspace -R /home/dspace

sudo chmod 0777 -R /home/dspace

Step 6.2: Setup file creation permissions

nano $HOME/.bashrc

Add the following to the bottom of the file

umask 002
