NEXT - STEP 9

Requirements

Please make sure that Tomcat is listening on port 80 first, before setting this up. See link below.

Step 8. Enable the DSpace Java webapps on the Java Tomcat webapp server

The DSpace webapps have been compiled in the $HOME/webapps folder but Tomcat only serves up webapps in the /var/lib/tomcatX/webapps folder.

So, how do we get all the files into the Tomcat webapps folder? There are several methods.

We are going to architect an "automatic linkage" method, so that if you change anything in the DSpace $HOME/webapps folder and then re-compile, the changes automatically occur in the Tomcat /var/lib/tomcatX/webapps folder.

This also saves you from constantly copying webapps after a compile, which is a tricky business.
