I have been checking and rechecking all the tomcat and dspace logs the whole day but the other files don't seem to have much more info than catalina.out. They either show no error messages or are blank. I have also tried enabling DEBUG in log4j.properties file but no more detailed error messages are being generated. I am considering using dspace-5.2 to see if this will resolve the issue.
Thanks again.
