Old Release
This documentation relates to an old version of DSpace, version 3.x. Looking for another version? See all documentation.
This DSpace release is end-of-life and is no longer supported.
In the notes below [dspace]
refers to the install directory for your existing DSpace installation, and [dspace-1.3.2-source] to the source directory for DSpace 1.3.2. Whenever you see these path references, be sure to replace them with the actual path names on your local system.
The changes in 1.3.2 are only code changes so the update is simply a matter of rebuilding the wars.
cd [dspace]/lib cp postgresql.jar [dspace-1.3.2-source]/lib
Your 'localized' JSPs (those in jsp/local) now need to be maintained in the source directory. If you have locally modified JSPs in your [dspace]/jsp/local directory, you will need to merge the changes in the new 1.3.2 versions into your locally modified ones. You can use the diff command to compare the 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 versions to do this.
In [dspace-1.3.2-source] run:
ant -Dconfig= [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
Copy the .war Web application files in [dspace-1.3.2-source]/build to the webapps sub-directory of your servlet container (e.g. Tomcat). e.g.:
cp [dspace-1.3.2-source]/build/*.war [tomcat]/webapps
If you're using Tomcat, you need to delete the directories corresponding to the old .war files. For example, if dspace.war is installed in [tomcat]/webapps/dspace.war, you should delete the [tomcat]/webapps/dspace directory. Otherwise, Tomcat will continue to use the old code in that directory.
