Hello Walter, resetting passwords requires an e-mail to be send. So check your email setting. You can test them with the command line [dspace]/bin/dspace test-email You can test your db connection with [dspace]/bin/dspace database test Further information about checking your instanllation can be found at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-CheckingYourInstallation
Hope this helps Claudia Jürgen Am 24.02.2017 um 21:14 schrieb Walter Rutherford:
I finally got DSpace installed without too many problems (it wouldn't configure mirage2 for some reason) and I can login via the admin account and create new users. Or so it appears. When I try to "reset password" for the new users I get a "Connection refused" error. Strangely, my first attempt earlier in the week actually sent email to the test account's email address but the link was incorrect (wrong hostname) and didn't work. It hasn't sent email since. I double-checked the pg_hba.conf settings. I'm using what was recommended for security: host dspace dspace 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5 Tomcat runs as 'dspace' so I reset the 'dspace' password for both the Linux 'dspace' user and 'dspace' database account to make sure they matched what is configured in tomcat's local.conf file then restarted Postgresql and Tomcat. Still "connection refused" when I try to set passwords. I've convince myself that it's a Tomcat<=>Postgres disconnect, I'm just not sure what or why, especially since they're running on the same host. The fact that I'm able to login as the administrator and (appear to) create new users means Tomcat is actually connecting to the postgres database (right?) but then why does nothing else seem to work? DSpace knows about those new users but Postgres doesn't, so I believe changes are being made via Tomcat/DSpace to DSpace files but not by Tomcat/Postgres to the database. Any ideas what's going on and how to correct it?
