Agreed, however if its working fine on someone else's end then the problem
is local to my environment. People do have difficulties setting up DSPACE
but I currently have the front-end running fine. The dependencies are
just crazy along with third party apps for DSPACE. However, all that is
done, its working and the front-end is up. I have what most others dont
and dont have what most others do. The jar part of it really gets me
cause all it needs is the CLASSPATH env var pointing to the appropriate
jar as I have done so many times in the past.
I know Java is on ok cause I have Tomcat running on the server fine as
well which is required for DSPACE as well. I just dont get why the
program cannot find the jar var. The create-administrator script runs the
script such that the call tends to be:
java -Xmx256m -classpath $FULLPATH "org.dspace.administer.CreateAdministrator"
Where, $FULLPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JARS:$DSPACEDIR/config
Where $JARS=`echo $DSPACEDIR/lib/*.jar | sed 's/ /\:/g'`
Now, the postgresql.jar gets pointed to twice; once from the script with
the JARS var and the second with the pointing to it from the $CLASSPATH
var set by me. I even echo the $FULLPATH var right before it hits the
java command and the echo brings up the huge PATH created by the script
that contains the jar files and the directories. I dont get however how
the script can have it in the $FULLPATH var but not use it when sent to
the command line?
