Problem with file storage using Dataverse v. 5.6

[ofuuzo ofuuzo]

Hi,

I can't download or upload files after installation of v. 5.6.   We are using a single local filesystem at '/data2/dataverse-files' and not multiple stores.

I thought that dataverse will look for files in the directory defined by <dataverse.files.file.directory> /<Dataset authority>/<Dataset identifier>/<substring of the file storage identifier after the file://>

I have checked for file permission. I have manually undeploy the current war file, shut down payara, rm -rf  the /usr/local/payara5/domains/domain1/generated, /usr/local/payara5/domains/domain1/osgi-cache and /usr/local/payara5/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib/databases/ejbtimer directories, restart payara, and deploy again. No success.

I have the following jvm-options in domain.xml:
    <jvm-options>-Ddataverse.files.file.type=file</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>-Ddataverse.files.file.label=file</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>-Ddataverse.files.directory=/data2/dataverse-files</jvm-options>
    <jvm-options>-Ddataverse.files.file.directory=/data2/dataverse-files</jvm-options>

I have deleted and reconfigured them:
/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin delete-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.file.label=file"
/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin delete-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.file.type=file"
/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin delete-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.directory=/data2/dataverse-files"
/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin delete-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.file.directory=/data2/dataverse-files"

/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin create-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.file.label=file"
/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin create-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.file.type=file"
/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin create-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.directory=/data2/dataverse-files"

/usr/local/payara5/bin/asadmin create-jvm-options "\-Ddataverse.files.file.directory=/data2/dataverse-files"

Cheers

Obi,

I don’t immediately see anything wrong with your jvm options. Given that you can’t upload, I’d expect that the directory you specify doesn’t exist /can’t be written to. (If you could upload but not download, it would look like your file path has changed /the new path is OK but just different.)

 

To debug, I would definitely check the log for clues.

 

Other things I’d make sure of:

  Your file path is really absolute – at /data2/dataverse-files and not in a data2/Dataverse-files subdirectory?

  You’re checking the permissions to read/write there for the same user running payara/Dataverse (payara/Dataverse is running as the user you expect)?

Thanks Jim. It is very strange. I am running Dataverse as root and chmod  /data2/dataverse-files to 777 and it did not work.  Yes, the absolute path is /data2/dataverse-files.

I just grabbed a backup copy of 5.5/5.4 and perform the same upgrade operation to 5.6. Both are fine now. Strange!

Cheers
