Re: [Dspace-tech] dspace 4.2 http status 500 error
Hello Alexia, DSpace 4.2 requires Tomcat 7 or later see https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-ServletEngine%28ApacheTomcat7orlater,Jetty,CauchoResinorequivalent%29 So you got to upgrade your Tomcat as you are running 6.0.35 This is the jar [YourWebapp]/WEB-INF/lib/jsp-api-2.1.jar which causes the error. In order to be able to use/test your dspace upgrade until you have upgraded to Tomcat 7 or above, you can remove the [YourWebapp]/WEB-INF/lib/jsp-api-2.1.jar Hope this helps Claudia Jürgen Am 29.10.2014 um 12:09 schrieb alexia: Hi everyone I have upgraded from 3.2 to 4.2 but I keep getting an annoying error.
