To take full advantage of the module you will need to enable the Fedora Resource Index in the Fedora config file.  You should also have Fedora GSearch installed, although this step does not need to be completed prior to installing the Module and Servlet Filter. Fedora GSearch includes Lucene and enables full text searching.

...

Download the Drupal Filter files from the  Release Notes and Downloads page. Extract the contents of the archive, and make sure you choose the correct JAR file for a) your version of Fedora and b) your authentication type (FeSL or legacy).

 If you have used the default config and installation file above, you are using legacy authentication.

...

  1. Your Fedora connection information is correct: The Fedora URLs in the Islandora Configure panel (Administer > Site configuration > Islandora Configure) should point to your Fedora server's IP or domain name. Note: You may experience connection issues if you specify 'localhost' instead of the IP address of your Fedora server. Therefore, we recommend using the actual IP address of the server.
  2. You have the appropriate user permissions to determine who can do what to Fedora objects from within Drupal.
  3. Your Lucene index is set to the index name configured in GSearch, if GSearch has been installed and enabled. 

 

Note

If you specify an IP address other than localhost in your Islandora configuration you will need to delete the following Fedora policies:

  • deny-apim-if-not-localhost.xml 
  • deny-reloadPolicies-if-not-localhost.xml

These policies can usually be found in /usr/local/fedora/data/fedora-xacml-policies/repository-policies/default

The Fedora Default Display Object PID and Fedora Datastream ID are the defaults used by Drupal when it can't find a PID/Datastream.  Ensure these point to an object/Datastream that is known to exist in your Fedora repository. So, for example, you could use an image that will communicate to your users that the object they are looking for was not found, or is not available. Remember that only the PID namespaces permitted in the Islandora module's config pages will be visible to users of a given site. 

Developer Tip: You can always retrieve the most up-to-date information via our git repository at https://github.com/islandora. However, the most stable release of Islandora will always be available at http://islandora.ca/download.
