Requirements
Please make sure that Tomcat is listening on port 80 first, before setting this up. See link below. http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Prepare_Ubuntu/S05
Step 8. Enable the DSpace Java webapps on the Java Tomcat webapp server
The DSpace webapps have been compiled in the /home/dspace/webapps folder but Tomcat only serves up webapps in the /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps folder.
So, how do we get all the files into the Tomcat webapps folder ?
There are several methods, but we are going to set it up so that if you change anything in the DSpace /home/dspace/webapps folder and then re-compile, the changes automatically occur in the Tomcat /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps folder. This also saves you from constantly copying webapps after a compile, which is a tricky business.
