ResourceSpace installation

[Peter Robertson]

I have installed ResourceSpace but I cannot get it to load--localhost give me the Apache2 Ubuntu Default page but I cannot see or login to ResourceSpace.

My 'hosts' file says 127.0.0.1  localhost, 127.0.1.1 Resourcespace but when I type them in the address bar both take me to the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page.  I must have missed something in the installation/setup.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

have you tried localhost/resourcespace?

Try deleting the default Apache page. Apache may be selecting "index.html" instead of ResourceSpace's "index.php" to use as the default page.

Thanks for the info.  I have deleted the index.html file but when I go to localhost I only see

'Index of '

with no files or folder ???

Check to make sure the apache user has proper permissions to access the resourcespace directory and subdirectories.

Also, have a look at your apache settings, making sure that "DirectoryIndex" includes index.php. If it's there, you can also put it ahead of index.html to give it priority.

If you want 'localhost' to point directly to the resourcespace installation you need to change the document root for apache to include the resourcespace folder.

Otherwise, use 'localhost/resourcespace'

I think that part that you're having trouble with is missing from the instructions on the wiki.  Apache on Ubuntu 14.04 has a DocumentRoot of /var/www/html, the instructions on the ResourceSpace wiki have you install ResourceSpace at /var/www/resourcespace.  If you want your ResourceSpace application at http://localhost/resourcespace you will need to install it at /var/www/html/resourcespace or better still, leave it at /var/www/resourcespace and edit your Apache configuration to point to that location.

On my install, the file that needs editing is /etc/apache/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

and the line that needs editing is DocumentRoot /var/www/resourcespace

Thank you Danny, I am configuring a virtual box for testing and this really should be in the wiki as 14.04 is the current stable release, and following the listed instructions will not result in a complete install. I was familiar with changing the DocumentRoot for installs outside of the default www/html but was searching to see if this had ever been addressed.

[Mike Smith]

cd /var/www

sudo mv resourcespace html

most likely that will resolve your issue, there are other ways but that will be the fastest and easiest

Agreed the Wiki needs additional information.

Just adding my thoughts to this, I was in exactly the same position as Peter, the original poster. 

I'm not that familiar with linux so I was struggling with the last bit of the install, since the wiki doesn't mention Apache config. Danny Greer's suggestion worked perfectly for me.  This thread has been very useful, thank you.

Just a heads up for anyone who's following the same path, once I'd got Apache pointing to the /resourcespace folder, when I accessed the homepage in browser, I got the following message.

Repository moved

You are using an old repository path. Please use the new repository path:

http://svn.resourcespace.org/svn/rs/trunk

If you are unable to make this change now, to reactivate your system revert to revision 7792:

svn update -r 7792

To make this change:

cd [your resourcespace dir]
svn update -r 7792
svn relocate http://svn.resourcespace.org/svn/rs
svn switch http://svn.resourcespace.org/svn/rs/trunk --ignore-ancestry
svn update

Just follow the instructions "To make this Change", for me everything worked perfectly from here.

I had the same thing installing into Centos 7 recently. I resolved this by creating a virtual directory to point to the resourcespace location in my apache httpd.conf file. 

Alias /resourcespace "/var/www/resourcespace"

<Directory "/var/www/resourcespace">

       Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI

       AllowOverride All

       Order allow,deny

       Allow from all

</Directory>

The url for resourcespace is then http://[yoururl]/resourcespace
