I am having troubles getting started due to my not understanding some basics about Tomcat and DSpace configuration. (This is with AWS "AMI" virtual with Tomcat 8, Postgresql 9.6, and DSpace 6.2.) All pieces seem installed correctly, but for the life of me I cannot get Tomcat to serve out the DSpace jspui index.jsp page.
In the Dspace conf.cfg I have the following values: dspace.dir = /home/ec2-user/dspace-6.2-src-release/dspace dspace.hostname = states.xxxxx.net dspace.baseUrl = http://states.xxxxx.net:8080 I commented out the line #dspace.url = ${dspace.baseUrl}/${dspace.ui} because in the Tomcat server.xml I have NOT changed the <Host> element. Rather I copied all the files and folders from /home/ec2-user/dspace-6.2-src-release/dspace/webapps to the Tomcat webapps folder. Shoudn't this be enough to make possible browsers addressing http://states.xxxxx.net:8080/jspui to get the index.jsp file under jspui ? I would be happy to edit the <Host> element to set the appBase to the DSpace installation's webapps folder, except that my efforts to do all failed. I tried various combinations such as <Host name="states.xxxxx.net"" appBase="/home/ec2-user/dspace-6.2-src-release/dspace/webapps" and also <Host name="localhost" appBase="/home/ec2-user/dspace-6.2-src-release/dspace/webapps" BUT finally the only way I could get even the default Tomcat page to display was to revert back to <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" That's when I thought I would just copy all the DSpace apps into the default Tomcat webapps directory. I apologize for the newbie nature of the above. A gently hint would be most appreciated! A -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Community" group.
