As usual I have probably done something stupid but...
I just installed Dspace 1.5.2 source release from scratch and I think there is
a wee gap in the installation intructions. In step 3.2.3.4 you are instructed
to edit [dspace-source]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg prior to doing your initial
'mvn package' and Ant fresh-install. Amongst other things you set dspace.dir to
be your installation directory. You are then instructed to run 'mvn package'
with no parameters set if you are using Postgres. The problem is ${dspace.dir}
is not replaced in the various web.xml files in the build directory. To correct
this I had to rerun the 'mvn package' with dspace.dir set as a parameter. No
big deal but it's the sort of thing that can cause a newcomer a lot of grief.
The easiest fix would be to update the instructions to tell the user to add the
parameter but I am sure there must be a better way.
Cheers, Robin.
