[Dspace-tech] Strange issue with DSpace 3.0
All, I'm just testing a DSpace 1.8.2 - 3.0 upgrade and I'm having some strange issues; all my custom themes and config work, but I get this weird error when trying to look at the DSpace Configuration tab in the control panel: org.dspace.app.xmlui.wing.WingInvalidArgument: The 'characters' parameter is required for list items.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Strange issue with DSpace 3.0
Helix, Ah, so you're right. For the record, I had been comparing our configs to those in the dspace-3.0 release in preparation for upgrading from 1.8. I pulled over some new syntax changes, including what I thought were defaults in the new config file, such as db.maxconnections. Defining them as listed in 3.0's dspace.cfg[1] resulted in a build error: BUILD FAILED /home/aorth/src/git/DSpace/dspace/target/dspace-3.0-build/build.xml:88: Property db.maxconnections was circularly defined. ... so I left it blank (or commented it out, I can't remember now). That's how I ended up with the weird Cocoon crashes. Anyways, I'm now up and running. If you think it's worth it, I'll submit a bug report / pull request so we can hopefully stop others from running into this same error?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Strange issue with DSpace 3.0
Helix, I wasn't using any special build.properties; just the default one in the dspace-3.0 tree. I suppose the settings should have been inherited from there, where they *are* defined. Regarding defining them as listed, I had meant that I just copied the lines over literally from dspace/config/dspace.cfg into our local dspace config. That's when I got the circular definition error, but I can't remember now if I fixed the error by commenting them out or simply setting them to = nothing. :\ Alan On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 11:12 PM, helix84 heli...@centrum.sk wrote: On Mar 11, 2013 9:00 PM, Alan Orth alan.o...@gmail.com wrote: Helix, Ah, so you're right.

You copied the unfiltered values to your installed config: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L74 This is saying assign X to X, where X is undefined.
