I did help another skunk here install one, such a painful process it is that I carefully documented each and every step, so as to save myself the future pain. I can try dig around and see if I still have that "manual".

One lesson that l learnt was that even before you install dspace itself, make sure you have installed all the prerequisites and they are all working:

JDK - not JRE and not open-JDK. Last time I checked, you have to modify your sources for this
ant
maven
postgresql
tomcat

When all of those are up and running, then dspace will be a walk in the (fire ant infested) park.

And you answer your other question, yes.

Since dspace uses Tomcat, you can set it to run on a different port. Or even better, if your other web app uses Apache, you can configure Tomcat to play slave to Apache, and thus route all requests through Apache.
