First, copy all the AIPs to a shareable location. Below, we chose /usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore folder:

Code Block

# Create share location
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore

# Manually copy all existing AIPs over there (TODO: This should be automated or synced in future)
cd /usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore/
sudo cp ~dspace/AIP-restore/* .
sudo chown -R dspace:dspace /usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore/


# Add DSpace to www-data user group (to give Apache read access)
sudo usermod -a -G www-data dspace


# Give Apache group rights on directory
sudo chgrp www-data /usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore/
sudo chmod g+rxs /usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore/

Next, update the Apache configuration for demo.dspace.org to provide access to that shareable location:

Code Block

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/25-demo.dspace.org.conf

## ADD THE FOLLOWING INTO THAT FILE (inside the <VirtualHost>)
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ...
  # Define path /aip to point at shareable AIP-restore location
  Alias "/aip" "/usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore"
  <Directory "/usr/share/dspace/AIP-restore">
    # Allow viewing file listing
    Options Indexes
    # Don't allow access to README, logs or parent link (..)
    IndexIgnore README* *.log ..
    # Allow access to all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
  # Don't proxy /aip paths to Tomcat
  ProxyPass /aip !
  ...
</VirtualHost>

Reload Apache and test it out:
Code Block
sudo service apache2 reload

Assuming everything works, here's a wget command that can be used to download the AIPs to a local computer

Code Block
# This recursively downloads all files (except index.html file) into an "aip" directory wget -r -np -nH -R "index.html*" --execute="robots=off" http://demo.dspace.org/aip/
