[Dspace-tech] dspace and xmlui environmental problems after installation

From: Andrew Marlow <marlow.andrew@go...> - 2008-11-27 08:16

Attachments: Message as HTML

hello,

I am still struggling with setting up dspace. I finally got it working
with jspui after
editing the jspui/WEB-INF/web.xml file to specify the full pathname to
the dspace.cfg file.
I think the need to do this should be more clearly documented.

I then went on to try using xmlui instead. It failed with a mysterious
error saying there was a problem logging to
xmlui/WEB-INF/logs/core.log. It turns out the logs directory was not
there! I created it. Is this perhaps another
rough edge to the install process? But then I got a different error.
The error is shown below. It looks like it
might be something to do with cocoon initialisation. The tomcat logs
don't have any errors in and do not shed any light.
The logs in the newly created logs directory are empty.

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet Cocoon

Can anybody shed any light on this please? I am keen to use xmlui instead of
jspui because I want to move to using manakin.

I have a similar issue when trying to run xml ui and it turned out my 
permissions were wrong for all webapps directory under the dspace 
installation.

I'm on Ubuntu Linux and my tomcat user is tomcat55 so I chown-ed 
everything to that user;

sudo chown tomcat55: -R /usr/local/dspace/webapps


Hope this helps.

Yes this was the problem. Many thanks for the tip!

I am on windoze so I did what you have to do to open up permissions there
and now it works. IMO this is something else that is missing from the
manual. In step 8 when it tells you to copy over the jspui and xmlui
directories it should say something about the permissions requirements. What
can be done to get this fed back into whoever maintains that document? Is it
enough to just be mentioning it on this mailing list?

Not sure actually. Maybe bring it up over at the dspace forums or post 
an entry here; http://jira.dspace.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa.

Someone else will probably have a better answer than me though.

Glad to hear you got it working, and yes, permissions have been an 
ongoing issue for me but I think my problem might be I don't know enough 
about tomcat.

Hi Andrew,

it is allready in the docs:
3. Installation
3.1 Prerequisite Software
3.1.6 Servlet Engine
"Note that DSpace will need to run as the same user as Tomcat, so you 
might want to install and run Tomcat as a user called 'dspace'. Set the 
environment variable TOMCAT_USER appropriately."

Sunny greetings

Claudia Jürgen
