Changes to the DSpace 1.8 Install / Configuration Process

In DSpace 1.8.0, there have been a few significant changes to how you Install and Configuration DSpace. Notably:

• Wiki Markup
  Many "module" configurations have now been moved out of the 'dspace.cfg' and into separate configuration files in the {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/}} directory.

  • Wiki Markup
    Authentication Configurations are now in {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/authenticate*.cfg}} files

  • Wiki Markup
    Bulk Metadata Editing Configurations are now in the {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/bulkedit.cfg}} file

  • Wiki Markup
    Discovery Configurations are now in the {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/discovery.cfg}} file

  • Wiki Markup
    OAI-PMH / OAI-ORE Configurations are now in the {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/oai.cfg}} file

  • Wiki Markup
    Solr Statistics Configurations are now in the {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/solr-statistics.cfg}} file

  • Wiki Markup
    SWORD (client & server) Configurations are now in {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/sword*.cfg}} files

• In addition, the ant update upgrade command now defaults to replacing any existing configuration files (though the existing configuration files will first be backed up to a file with the suffix *.old).
  • In prior versions of DSpace (before 1.8.0), this ant update command would leave existing configuration files intact (and you would have to manually merge in new configuration settings, which would be in file with the suffix *.new). If you prefer this previous route, you can still achieve the same result by running:
    • • ant -Doverwrite=false update.

  • Wiki Markup

    *WARNING:* If you choose to run {{ant -Doverwrite=false update}} please be aware that this will not auto-upgrade any of your configurations. This means you must closely watch the output of this command, and ensure you manually update all configuration files in the {{\[dspace\]/config/}} directory as well as all Solr configurations/schemas in the {{\[dspace\]/solr/search/conf/}} and {{\[dspace\]/solr/statistics/conf/}} directories.
