The non-production, unsupported, unauthorized "test" version of Dspace, currently found at<\/p>\n
http:\/\/badger.uvm.edu\/dspace<\/a><\/p>\n has hit the wall: interest in the Dspace platform has been sufficient to pretty much fill the tiny 14GB drive installed in badger — in fact, I did fill it last Thursday, upsetting a couple of researchers. I now have a (funded) researcher on my back looking to upload another GB of stuff.<\/p>\n Anyway, it needs a new home, and it is time to go production.<\/p>\n Dspace runs as a web application under the Tomcat-Jakarta java server. It also uses postgreSQL as a database server (or, with the latest version of Dspace, Oracle, but not mySQL). badger is currently running Fedora core. I also have a test Dspace installation on weasel.uvm.edu, running Mac OS X. QUite frankly, it was easier to install on OS X than Fedora: fewer Java installation and configuration issues. It doesn’t need a whole lot of horsepower, but it could conceivably use a mess of desk space.<\/p>\n Keith asked Steve to ask ACS people to file Project Plans. My plan includes making Dspace a production application. Fine, so I asked Steve yesterday, what now? he said write a one page proposal, and spec out a server.<\/p>\n So I did: a $10,000 Xserve with Xserve-raid or a more modest $4600 starter set<\/p>\n But I imagine TSG has other ideas, maybe even a concern or two. I would like to hear them.<\/p>\n Wesley’s Pirate DreamSpaceServer<\/p>\n \nSubtotal $10,477.00<\/p>\n Wesley’s LittleSpaceServer<\/p>\n \nSubtotal $4,618.00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The non-production, unsupported, unauthorized "test" version of Dspace, currently found at http:\/\/badger.uvm.edu\/dspace has hit the wall: interest in the Dspace platform has been sufficient to pretty much fill the tiny 14GB drive installed in badger — in fact, I … Continue reading \n
