Mark Diggory may be able to shed more light on this, but I believe
Robin is right here, as I've experienced this as well.
Robin, if I understand you, you ran the following command with
success, right?
mvn package -Ddspace.dir=/my/dspace/install/destination

Hi Jeffrey,
Yes all that bit worked fine. The only problem bit was 'mvn
package'. It gets the various web.xml files from the source
directories but did not substitute a value for ${dspace.dir}. I am
not sure how it should do this, should it be clever and look at the
value in the edited dspace.cfg file in the source directory ? It
didn't appear to do so for me, I had to manually set the parameter.
I have just had a wee look at the various pom's and there are
references to a profile for dspace.config but there is no mention of
this in the installation instructions.
Cheers.

Subject: Re: Wee installation hitch
Robin,
Wow. I just re-read the instructions. This is how I've
compiled in the past. Let's make sure we understand that
there are two /dspace directories in actuality and you have
to not confuse yourself.
Anyone else who wants to chime in, please do.
The first directory will be the one you make with the mkdir
dspace command. This can be anywhere and it will store the
eventual output from the mvn package. You will not have
anything populated in this directory.
It is referred to as [dspace] in most of the documentation.
(Whether your [dspace] directory is at root level or
imbedded. For my own installation my [dspace] directory is
/irmaag/dspace)
The second dspace directory resides under [dspace-source]
(e.g. /dspace-1.5.2-src-release/dspace) This is the dspace
directory that you will make all the changes to in dspace.cfg
(/dspace-1.5.2-src-release/dspace/config)
You will cd over the /dspace-1.5.2-src-release/dspace and run
your mvn package command there. Then you would go to the
[dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5.2.dir and run the
ant fresh_install.
Those steps will populate the first [dspace] directory
mentioned above.
Is this not what you had happen?

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.
