Hi Francis, It looks like your "local.properties" file is incorrect. The very first property in that file should be named "dspace.install.dir". But, yours says "dspace.dir".
So, your "local.properties" file needs to have the same settings as the default "build.properties": https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/build.properties#L25 This is exactly why you are seeing this line in the final dspace.cfg: dspace.dir = ${dspace.install.dir} Essentially that line doesn't get filled out cause there is no value for "dspace.install.dir" in your local.properties file. I hope that helps. - Tim On 1/15/2014 9:11 AM, Brouns, Francis wrote: > Hi Bram, > > attached my local.properties file. > > I’m running Windows 7 Entreprise, maven 3.10.0, ant 1.9.2, tomcat > 6.0.37, Sun java SE 1.7.0_21 > > best wishes, Francis > > *From:*bluy...@gmail.com [mailto:bluy...@gmail.com] *On Behalf Of *Bram > Luyten > *Sent:* 15 January 2014 15:51 > *To:* Brouns, Francis > *Cc:* dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net > *Subject:* Re: [Dspace-tech] again problems with build.properties, > dspace.cfg and install directories > > Francis, > > can you send a copy of your local.properties file where you blank out > anything sensitive like DB passwords? > > I will investigate and try to reproduce this behaviour on my end. > > Bram > > > -- > > Description: Image removed by sender. logo > > > > *Bram Luyten* +1 202 684 6365 > /2888 Loker Avenue East, Suite 315, Carlsbad, CA. 92010/ > /Esperantolaan 4, Heverlee 3001, Belgium/ > www.atmire.com > <http://atmire.com/website/?q=services&utm_source=emailfooter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=braml> > > > On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 2:47 PM, Brouns, Francis <francis.bro...@ou.nl > <mailto:francis.bro...@ou.nl>> wrote: > > Hi Bram, > > yes, that is correct.
