Info

In the notes below [dspace] refers to the install directory for your existing DSpace installation, and [dspace-1.1.1-source] to the source directory for DSpace 1.1.1. Whenever you see these path references, be sure to replace them with the actual path names on your local system.

Upgrade Steps

Fortunately the changes in 1.1.1 are only code changes so the update is fairly simple.

  1. Take down Tomcat.
  2. It would be a good idea to update any of the third-party tools used by DSpace at this point (e.g. PostgreSQL), following the instructions provided with the relevant tools.
  3. In [dspace-1.1.1-source] run:
    Code Block
    ant -Dconfig= [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
    
  4. If you have locally modified JSPs of the following JSPs in your [dspace]/jsp/local directory, you might like to merge the changes in the new 1.1.1 versions into your locally modified ones. You can use the diff command to compare the 1.1 and 1.1.1 versions to do this. The changes are quite minor.
    Code Block
    collection-home.jsp
    admin/authorize-collection-edit.jsp
    admin/authorize-community-edit.jsp
    admin/authorize-item-edit.jsp
    admin/eperson-edit.jsp
    
  5. Restart Tomcat.
