After putting the JDK file in the current directory, do the followings:

Code Block

chmod +x jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin
 ./jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin    #depends on the JDK version

The License Agreement will be presented to you. Just press space-bar until you are asked to agree the license terms. Type 'yes' and press Enter. The RPM file will be created, eg. jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.rpm. Then, type the following and then press Enter:

Code Block

rpm -ivh jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.rpm

If you want to know the files that have been installed on your system, type:

Code Block

rpm -ql jdk-1.5.0_07-fcs     #depends on the JDK version; see the message after the command: rpm -ivh ..

...

To install Sun Java EE SDK, follow these steps:

Code Block

urpmi libstdc++5
 ./java_ee_sdk-5-linux.bin

...

If you installed both Java packages above, you can switch from one package to another by setting environment variable JAVA_HOME. Just edit /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf after Tomcat5 installation below. If you follow carefully all the steps above, then to make Tomcat use GNU Java, put this line into tomcat5.conf:

Code Block

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java"

Alternatively, to make Tomcat use Sun Java, put this line into tomcat5.conf:

Code Block

JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk"

and replace all java-related program in /usr/bin with the ones from Sun Java. You can do this by moving these files: jar, jarsigner, java, javac, javadoc, javah, javap, java-rmi.cgi, javaws, from /usr/bin/ to another directory, and put symbolic links to Sun Java programs in /usr/bin.

Code Block

cd /usr/bin
 mv jar /another/directory/
 mv jarsigner /another/directory/
 mv java /another/directory/
 .. and so on.
 ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/jar
 ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/jarsigner
 ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/java
 .. and so on.

Install Other Prerequisites Available as Mandriva RPMs

Type the followings:

Code Block

urpmi postgresql
 urpmi postgresql-server
 urpmi ant
 urpmi xml-commons-apis
 urpmi tomcat5

After the last line (urpmi tomcat5), the console will show the following lines:

 Proceed with the installation of the 25 packages? (36 MB) (Y/n)

DSpace will run as a web application at Tomcat, so we have to install tomcat5-webapps.

Code Block

urpmi tomcat5-webapps

and then press 'Y' and Enter after the following message:

Code Block

To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
 jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.2-2mdv2007.0.i586
 tomcat5-webapps-5.5.17-3.1.2mdv2007.0.i586
 Proceed with the installation of the 2 packages? (9 MB) (Y/n)

Next,

Code Block

urpmi tomcat5-admin
 To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
 jakarta-commons-validator-1.3.0-1.1mdv2007.0.i586

 Proceed with the installation of the 5 packages? (13 MB) (Y/n)

...

To ensure that Tomcat has enough memory to run DSpace and uses UTF-8 as its default file encoding for international character support, uncomment and edit 'JAVA_OPTS' environment variable in Tomcat startup script /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf:

Code Block

vi /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf

and then write the following line:

Code Block

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512M -Xms64M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

...

To alter Tomcat's default configuration to support searching and browsing of multi-byte UTF-8 correctly, add a configuration option to the <Connector> element in /etc/tomcat5/server.xml.

Code Block

vi /etc/tomcat5/server.xml

You will see the following lines in that file:

Code Block

    <Connector port="Threads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false"  enableLookups="false"redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

Just add 'URIEncoding="UTF-8"' before slash:

Code Block

    <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               maxSpareThreads="75"enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

Install DSpace

I will write DSpace installation steps here. Visit this page later. However, DSpace installation described in the the reference documentation is clear enough (see the first line of this howto).</html>
