Very cool, Bryan!

And a big :-) to your next "easy" task.

If you discover any useful tips for the rest of us when doing that work,

I think this is good news.

;-)  Am very glad!

Do I need to restart the server?

Yes, that'd be desirable at this point.  And you can then try logging in.

If you experience any issues, you can check the 'logs' directory in your
apache-tomcat-6.0.33 directory just to make sure there aren't any fatal
errors at startup or operation; look in catalina.out and
cspace-services.log.

Hi Bryan,

It seems likely you're getting closer.  Thanks for these reports.

As a colleague suggested, can you check the filesystem permissions on
your /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.33 directory?  Ideally, the user
you're using to run 'ant undeploy deploy' should have write permission to
that directory and all of its sub-directories; you can use a recursive
'chown' and/or 'chmod' toset permissions and ownership; e.g.

chown -R (relevant ownership) /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.33
and/or
chmod -R (relevant permissions) /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.33

Aron,

Again I thank you for your help.

I got the v2.5 tarball from github, following this advice on the
installation documentation:

wget https://github.com/collectionspace/services/tarball/v2.5

I installed the bunldes directory manually, and it still failed, with
the following error:

Unable to delete directory
/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.33/nuxeo-server/bundles

I hope I'm getting closer!!

Hi Bryan,

Should I make that directory manually and try again?

Yes, definitely.  You may now be on the verge of a successful
installation.

It's conceivable that the v2.5 tarball (.tar.gz) file you downloaded
and expanded might have been missing those directories.  I'll check
that possibility out later today.  Can you tell us the download link
you used?  Was it the tarball file in this FTP-accessible directory,
or?

ftp://source.collectionspace.org/pub/collectionspace/releases/2.5/

Sorry...just a typo in my email.

I'm still struggling with the install. I don't know what step I missed -
as
I said, I've gone through the process several times now and I thought I
was
really close.

I'm attempting to install 2.5, since this is a new installation I
thought I
should use the latest version.

I tried Aron's suggestion to manually create the cspace directory - the
build failed again during deploy with the message:

Directory does not exist:
/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.33/nuxeo-server/bundles

Should I make that directory manually and try again? Still feels like I
missed something along the way.

Hi Bryan,
This may be a typo in your email, but you wrote

/tmp/collectionspace-services/build.xml:222: Source file

/usr/local/share/apache-tomcast-6.0.33/cspace/services/db/postgresql/init_nuxeo_db.sql
is not a file!

Is that really the path to your tomcat installation, or should "tomcast"
be
"tomcat"?

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for evaluating CollectionSpace!

If you haven't already done so, you might do an 'ls -l' (long
directory listing) on the parent directory of that file; e.g.

ls -l ls -al
/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.33/cspace/services/db/postgresql

and see if there is a listing for:

/usr/local/share/apache-tomcast-6.0.33/cspace/services/db/postgresql/init_nuxeo_db.sql

It's possible that file is missing - potentially it wasn't installed
by a prior step, or a prior step was omitted; or there's a directory
with that name, or?

'ant deploy', an earlier step in the installation process, should
have created that file.

Disclaimer: I'm a newbie to Collection Space.

My issue: Attempting at the moment just to get to the finished install
stage, on Linux Mint 13. Everything goes well - up to the part where I
need
to run ant to build the databases. I've read through the documentation,
but
I'm still stuck...

The text output by ant is:

Buildfile: /tmp/collectionspace-services/build.xml

create_db:

create_nuxeo_db:

BUILD FAILED
/tmp/collectionspace-services/build.xml:210: The following error occurred

/usr/local/share/apache-tomcast-6.0.33/cspace/services/db/postgresql/init_nuxeo_db.sql
is not a file!

Any help or direction? Thanks.
