Hi Julie,

You also should check your DSpace logs for any errors. Chances are if DSpace is not even loading, there's a major error behind the scenes that is causing it to fail.

Here's a guide for locating errors in DSpace logs. Once you've found the error, if it's not obvious how to fix it, you are welcome to send it to this mailing list and we can try to help out.

Good luck,

Tim

I am a former UX-only person attempting to make changes to our DSpace 5
config and web interface files. (We're using the JSPUI version.)

At one time I was able to make changes, rebuild, and redeploy with no
problems. At some point, the process stopped working and I'm not sure
what I've done or how to fix it. Here's what's happening:

 1. I make changes in (what I think is) the correct directory for them.
    (/dspace-5.2-src-release/dspace-jspui for the web interface files,
    /dspace-5.2-src-release/dspace for the configs)
 2. I run mvn package in (what I think is) the correct location
    (/dspace-5.2-src-release/dspace). The build completes successfully.
 3. I run ant update in (what I think is) the correct location
    (/dspace-5.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-installer). There is a
    flood of error messages to the effect of "directory wasn't copied,
    access was denied". But at the end the update says it completes
    successfully.
 4. I check the website and am greeted with a blank white page.
 5. I check Tomcat and there is no longer any entry for a jspui directory.

Any ideas on what's happening and how to fix it?


E: I don't know if it's related, but batch upload no longer works
either, through the web UI or the command-line directory import tool,
when the site is up and running. The upload completes successfully but
when I click on the collection to view items I get an internal server error.
