Installation
This is the old installation guide for v5 based code, be sure you really want to be reading this and not NewInstallation
Read Installation - Prerequisites before.
The following variables will be used in the following text:
export DSPACE_INSTANCE_NAME=repository
export DSPACE_SOURCE_DIRECTORY=/opt/repository/sources/dspace
export DSPACE_WORKSPACE=/opt/repository/workspace
export DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY=/opt/repository/installations
Upgrading from lindat-repository based on 1.8.2 version.
Windows users should read this.
Clone https://github.com/ufal/lindat-dspace.git repository branch clarin for read-only access.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ufal/lindat-dspace.git -b clarin $DSPACE_SOURCE_DIRECTORY
You don't need to use workspace, it just creates symlinks for quicker navigation (to {config,scripts,..}). If you choose not to use is
then do replace all mentions of $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/ with $DSPACE_SOURCE_DIRECTORY/utilities/project_helpers
cd $DSPACE_SOURCE_DIRECTORY/utilities/project_helpers
./setup.sh $DSPACE_WORKSPACE
We've provided a makefile to ease the compile/install/restart routines. Since our server configuration will likely differ from yours you should check it.
If the variables in $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/config/variable.makefile.example are not correct, copy the file to $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/config/variable.makefile and update them.
cd $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/config/
cp variable.makefile.example variable.makefile
vim variable.makefile
Most of the variables are self-explanatory, but the lindat-common related ones. See lindat-common to learn what that is.
Optionally create start/stop scripts to start/stop your server "stack" (apache, tomcat, postgres...)
review $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts/start_stack_example.sh and $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts/stop_stack_example.sh. If you don't like what is in there create $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts/start_stack.sh and $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts/stop_stack.sh of your own. You might want to check another examples in $DSPCAE_WORKSPACE/scripts/{start,stop}_stack_example.old
Create a copy of distribution config file inside $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/sources/ and name it local.properties
cp $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/config/local.conf.dist $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/sources/local.properties
Update the local.properties file and provide the required values (list should be updated!):
See Configuration
Add the following configuration in the server.xml in your tomcat's conf dir (eg. /etc/tomcat6/server.xml). Inside the element Host.
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="/$DSPACE_INSTANCE_NAME/xmlui" docBase="$DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/webapps/xmlui"
reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true" />
<Context path="/$DSPACE_INSTANCE_NAME/solr" docBase="$DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/webapps/solr"
reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true" />
<Context path="/$DSPACE_INSTANCE_NAME/oai" docBase="$DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/webapps/oai"
reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true" />
<Context path="/$DSPACE_INSTANCE_NAME/rest" docBase="$DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/webapps/rest"
reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true" />
</Host>
Note: We could also create a tomcat virtual host (see section Multiple Instances Dspace), but our current configuration of DSpace Shibboleth login has problems with such a setup, so for now please use the above configuration instead.
Note 2: Ensure Tomcat runs with -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 and/or <Connector ... URIEncoding="UTF-8" />.
Note 3: With tomcat8 allowLinking and cachingAllowed are no longer attributes of Context see https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-8.html#Web_application_resources
Note 4: Some advise against defining Context in server.xml see https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html
Make sure access to /xmlui/shibboleth-login requires a shibboleth session. For Apache add the following in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/https-tomcat6 (or ssl-dspace.conf) file inside the <VirtualHost> element in case your path is not caught by the LocationMatch.
<Location /$DSPACE_INSTANCE_NAME/xmlui/shibboleth-login>
AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequireSession On
ShibUseHeaders On
require valid-user
</Location>
- Create user dspace
sudo -u postgres createuser --username=postgres --no-superuser --pwprompt dspace
- Make sure the user can create databases
- Create databases (skip this step if they already exist)
cd $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts
sudo make create_databases
This will install jars that can't be obtained via maven.
sudo make install_libs
sudo make new_deploy
First create an administrator for the dspace instance. Make sure to use the same email address with which you are registered on the Identity Provided, so that you have the administration rights when login through shibboleth.
sudo $DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/bin/dspace create-administrator
Finally start/restart the server
- If the server is not running
cd $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts
sudo make start
- If the server is running
cd $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts
sudo make restart
Once the server starts the instance is ready to use.
Initialize the statistics (you already need solr running for these steps), we are still in the scripts directory.
sudo make init_statistics
Update discovery
sudo make update_discovery
Update OAI
sudo make update_oai
Add crontab cronjobs to update statistics and other indexes regularly. You might wish to inspect the makefile and add the jobs in your /etc/cron
make add_cronjobs
If any change is made to the local configuration and/or source code, redeploy needs to be done:
cd $DSPACE_WORKSPACE/scripts
sudo make deploy
- To only compile the code:
sudo make compile
- To install the compiled code:
sudo make install
- To compile and install at once:
sudo make deploy
- If there are only configuration changes. You don't need to compile or deploy the whole dspace, use the following target and restart the server.
make update_config
Note: If you are using previous versions of ant then deploying/updating the application will not update the config files correctly. It will create config files with .new extension. Please update your ant version to 1.8 above.
You want to regenerate sitemaps periodically (the make add_cronjobs target handles this), you want to have sitemaps in
your robots.txt
Sitemap: [dspace.url]/sitemap
Sitemap: [dspace.url]/htmlmap
You want a hidden link to the sitemap in your theme.
You want to have robots.txt available at the root of your domain, ie. your.dspace.edu/robots.txt
There are more details in dspace wiki
If you will be running your own handle server check that chapter in the prerequisites or follow the official guide
sudo make restore_database
Investigate the makefile's add_cronjobs target to learn what tasks need to be run periodicallly.
Note: Sitemaps are regenerated periodically but make sure you have at least one collection (or you'll be getting NullPointerExceptions).
Start/Restart/Stop all servers (defined in scripts/{start,stop}_stack.sh)
sudo make start
sudo make restart
sudo make stop
The last compilation or installation logs can be accesses in the directory $DSPACE_WORSKPACE/logs
The repository logs are in $DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/log
To create multiple dspace instances on the same server with single tomcat, we can use the name based virtual hosts. Add the following in /etc/tomcat/server.xml to create a new virtual host.
- Be sure that the defaultHost from matches name in <Host*>
<Host name="localhost/$DSPACE_INSTANCE_NAME" debug="0"
appBase="$DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/webapps"
autoDeploy="true" unpackWARs="true">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="[PATH_OF_LOGS]"
prefix="tomcat_access."
suffix=".log"
pattern="common"
resolveHost="false"
/>
<Context path="/xmlui" docBase="$DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/webapps/xmlui"
reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false"
allowLinking="true"/>
<Context path="/wiki-test/solr" docBase="$DSPACE_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/webapps/solr"
reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false" allowLinking="true" />
</Host>
- go through the webserver/tomcat/shibboleth sections in Prerequisites if you haven't already
- to run programs from control panel
- aptitude install python-dateutil python-lxml
- if you are getting errors while running the programs check the JAVA_OPTS you are passing to catalina.sh (redmine 551)
