+**NEW in Dataverse 4.3:** It is no longer necessary to run the installer as root!


Nice! At some point I should reconfigure Vagrant to run the installer as non-root now that this is supported. #1934 and #2443 are highly related to the fact that previously the installer had to be run as root.

+(Do note, that you want the Glassfish directory to be owned by the same user that will be running Glassfish. And you most likely won't need to run it as root. The only reason to run it as root would be to be able to run the application on the default HTTP(S) ports 80 and 443, instead of 8080 and 8181. However, an easier, and more secure way to achieve that would be to instead keep Glassfish running on a high port, and hide it behind an Apache Proxy, via AJP, running on port 80. This configuration is in fact required if you choose to have your Dataverse support Shibboleth authentication. See more discussion on this here: :doc:`shibboleth`.)

@landreev doesn't the script prompt for more things now? System email? Solr? Other stuff? If so, we should add them below, right?

I addressed this in 60a9b35

I just tested vagrant up on 1a3b2dd and it works fine (I can log in). Here's the output: vagrant-up-1a3b2dd.txt

- Keep the list of default values up to date. - Consistent capitalization of PostgreSQL and Solr.

@landreev and @kcondon I'm done messing with docs in this branch. Here's what I changed:

b59295f Installation Guide: fix typo #2944
49217a0 Solr: explain requestHeaderSize better #2311
0553437 Installer: typo #3016
60a9b35 Installer: minor doc improvements #3016

60a9b35 is about keeping the list of questions and default values the installer asks about up to date. I think people might appreciate seeing this in the docs before running the installer. Dunno. I hope so. :)

Removed section about fixing the admin email account since the installer now requires this.
