Hiya Mark! So, if the issue were a db schema mismatch, you’d likely get an error message explaining that. Something like “Schema Info Mismatch. Expected #{expected schema version}, received #{your schema version} for ASPACE version #{version you’re trying to run}.”
What version of mysql (if mysql?) are you using? I’ve seen similar issues with folks attempting to run against MySql 8. Can you try 5.7?

I was having problems running the /scripts/database-setup.sh migration script via my Vagrant file, and, as with Vagrant, Ansible, etc. found myself spending lots of time troubleshooting the script I've written to install the software, when I could have just installed the software! So now I have my Vagrant box up and running, I SSH in and run /scripts/database-setup.sh without any problem. BUT now that I've kicked this can down the road, the next issue is: When I go to boot up ASpace, I end up with the following error: INFO: DEBUG: resetting rack response due exception E, [2020-07-25T15:57:06.898049 #38438] ERROR -- : Thread-2004: Connection to backend failed (<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd>> I read that if the schema in the DB does not match the schema in the ASpace codebase, the backend will not start. And yet, the setup-database.sh migration script ran without error, so at this point the schemas should be in sync. Any advice on how to get the backend up and running greatly appreciated, Mark -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mark Cyzyk, M.A., M.L.S.
