Hello, all!

My institution is looking for a new museum collections management tool, and
we are evaluating CollectionSpace as a possibility. We've already played
with the sandbox, but wanted to do more extensive testing on our own
server. Although my job title is "archivist", I am effectively the IT
person for our very small institution. I have plenty of Unix/Linux
administration experience and I'm very comfortable on the command line.

I attempted to install CollectionSpace on an AWS EC2 "t3-small" instance
running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using the automated installer as documented in
https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Automated+installer+for+CollectionSpace.
The installer completed with a "Installation of the CollectionSpace was
successful" message, but there were some errors (below).

After "su"-ing as "cspace" and starting the server, I see

Nov 27, 2018 1:24:15 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 6831 ms

in the catalina.out log file, but running

curl -i http://localhost:8180/cspace-services/collectionobjects -u
admin@core.collectionspace.org:Administrator

as suggested in the documentation gives a 404 error.

Any ideas on how to diagnose the issue? Unfortunately, I'm more of a LAMP
stack guy and don't really know my way around the whole Java
Tomcat/Catalina/Coyote ecosystem. I'll be happy to provide any log files or
diagnostics. The error messages from the installer are below.

Thank you in advance!

Mike

The errors I see from the automated installer include a bunch of messages
early on (before the "yes" prompt) of the form

Error: Could not uninstall module 'puppetlabs-vcsrepo'
Module 'puppetlabs-vcsrepo' is not installed

which I suspect are benign. However, at the very end of the installer run I
got

Hi Mike,

CollectionSpace development has recently been heavily focused on the new UI for version 5, and because of that a number of things haven't caught up yet, and that very likely includes the installer.

We have very early plans to replace the current installer with a new one using Ansible (easier to maintain, faster to develop, simpler to understand), which can be used to setup CollectionSpace on a new (Ubuntu) server, and we'll use it to build an AWS AMI. There's no schedule for this work yet but if you express interest I can pass that along to help get it higher priority =)

In the meantime it's less convenient but given your background and desire to do more extensive testing I'd recommend that you bypass the installer and look to install CollectionSpace yourself:

https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Installing+on+Ubuntu+LTS

You can use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS just fine, we build and deploy CollectionSpace Docker images with it. If you run into issues let us know!

Best,
Mark
