Upgrading From 1.4 to 1.4.x
The changes in 1.4.x releases are only code and configuration changes so the update is simply a matter of rebuilding the wars and slight changes to your config file.

In the notes below {{\[dspace\]}} refers to the install directory for your existing DSpace installation, and _\[dspace-1.4.x-source\]_ to the source directory for DSpace 1.4.x. Whenever you see these path references, be sure to replace them with the actual path names on your local system. |
- Get the new DSpace 1.4.x source code from the DSpace page on SourceForge and unpack it somewhere. Do not unpack it on top of your existing installation!!
- Copy the PostgreSQL driver JAR to the source tree. For example:
Code Block cd [dspace]/lib cp postgresql.jar [dspace-1.4.x-source]/lib
Wiki Markup *Note:* Licensing conditions for the _handle.jar_ file have changed. As a result, the latest version of the _handle.jar_ file is not included in this distribution. It is recommended you read the [new license conditions|http://www.handle.net/upgrade_6-2_DSpace.html|new license conditions] and decide whether you wish to update your installation's _handle.jar_. If you decide to update, you should replace the existing _handle.jar_ in _\[dspace-1.4.x-source\]_/lib with the new version.
- Take down Tomcat (or whichever servlet container you're using).
- A new configuration item webui.html.max-depth-guess has been added to avoid infinite URL spaces. Add the following to the dspace.cfg file:
If webui.html.max-depth-guess is not present in dspace.cfg the default value is used. If archiving entire web sites or deeply nested HTML documents it is advisable to change the default to a higher value more suitable for these types of materials.Code Block #### Multi-file HTML document/site settings ##### # # When serving up composite HTML items, how deep can the request be for us to # serve up a file with the same name? # # e.g. if we receive a request for "foo/bar/index.html" # and we have a bitstream called just "index.html" # we will serve up that bitstream for the request if webui.html.max-depth-guess # is 2 or greater. If webui.html.max-depth-guess is 1 or less, we would not # serve that bitstream, as the depth of the file is greater. # # If webui.html.max-depth-guess is zero, the request filename and path must # always exactly match the bitstream name. Default value is 3. # webui.html.max-depth-guess = 3
Wiki Markup 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 1.4.x versions into your locally modified ones. You can use the _diff_ command to compare your JSPs against the 1.4.x versions to do this. You can also check against the [DSpace CVS|http://dspace.cvs.sourceforge.net/dspace/].
Wiki Markup In _\[dspace-1.4.x-source\]_ run:
Code Block ant -Dconfig= [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
Wiki Markup Copy the _.war_ Web application files in _\[dspace-1.4.x-source\]/build_ to the _webapps_ sub-directory of your servlet container (e.g. Tomcat). e.g.:
Code Block cp [dspace-1.4.x-source]/build/*.war [tomcat]/webapps
Wiki Markup 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.
- Restart Tomcat.
