Example Value:

/dspace

Informational Note:

Root directory of DSpace installation. Omit the trailing slash '/'. Note that this setting is used by default in other settings, e.g. assetstore.dir .

(On Windows be sure to use forward slashes for the directory path!  For example: "C:/dspace" is a valid path for Window.)

Example Value:

http://dspacetest.myu.edu:8080

Informational Note:

Main URL at which DSpace backend ("server" webapp) is publicly available. If using port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS), you may omit the port number. Otherwise the port number must be included. Do not include a trailing slash ('/').  In Production, you should be using HTTPS for security purposesmust use HTTPS if you wish to access the REST API from a different server/domain.

Example Value:

dspace.ui.url = http://dspacetest.myu.edu:4000

Informational note

Main URL at which the DSpace frontend (Angular User Interface) is publicly available. If using port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS), you may omit the port number. Otherwise the port number must be included. Do not include a trailing slash ('/').  In Production, you should be using HTTPS for security purposes.

This URL should obviously be the same one configured in your Angular UI's environment.prod.tsmatch the URL you type in the browser to access your User Interface.  In the backend, this URL is primarily used to build UI-based URLs in sitemaps, email messages, etc.  Therefore, it need not be set on initial installation, but it should be configured as soon as your user interface is installed.  If you are not using the DSpace UI (and running the backend "headless"), this may be set to the URL of whatever you consider your primary "user interface".

Example Value:

dspace.name = DSpace at My University

Informational Note:

Short and sweet site name, used in e-mails, exports and machine interfaces (e.g. OAI-PMH).  It is not currently used by the Angular UI.
