I went back to the default server.xml and updated the webapps portion and things appear to be how we want them. Thanks for your help!

Most of them seem to say something like: "Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The main resource set specified [C:\dspace\webapps\ROOT] is not valid" This sounds to me like, as Sean just noted, you *may* have a "double deployment" issue. I wonder if you've made so many changes that your <Host> appBase and your <Context> docBase no longer match up. Could you revert out your changes and start fresh with just a [tomcat]/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml ? Or, could you share more of your current configuration with us? It seems like it's essentially "confused" Tomcat into not knowing how to start your webapps. Also, since you look to be using Windows, you may want to change any backslashes (\) to forward slashes (/). So, in your Tomcat configs, use paths like "C:/dspace/webapps/xmlui" instead of "C:\dspace\webapps\xmlui". In many Java applications (including DSpace), forward slashes are recommended, no matter what Operating System you are using. - Tim On Wed, Oct 31, 2018 at 12:15 PM Cameron, Jacob <jacob.came...@uleth.ca<mailto:jacob.came...@uleth.ca>> wrote: Hi Tim, I’ve attached the tomcat and catalina logs. I don’t know what to look for in there. If you could help point me in the right direction, that would be fantastic. The current config I’m running is what I described below, with the context path in the server.xml. The context fragments don’t appear to do anything. I had setup symbolic links to point a ROOT symbolic link to C:\dspace\webapps\xmlui but that didn’t do anything either. I’m at my wits end with this. -- Jake Cameron, BCS(UNB) Systems Support Specialist III Information Systems and Technical Services University of Lethbridge Library Phone:(403)329-2756<tel:(403)%20329-2756> This e-mail, including any and all attachments, is only for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is confidential or privileged.

That's all I tend to use. So, for example, having a file named: [tomcat]/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml All that file needs to contain is one line...something like this: <Context docBase="[dspace path]/webapps/xmlui" /> Technically, this same sort of configuration should also work in your server.xml, under the <Host> section (though, in that situation you'd want to specify a "path="/"" attribute, like in your example) If that's *not* working for you, you may want to look closer at whether Tomcat is reporting errors in its log files. The errors in the Tomcat logs may provide us with more information about what Tomcat doesn't like about your configuration. So, please send any errors to this list and hopefully we can help you figure them out.

I’ve setup the context path in server.xml to be path=“/” docBase=”[dspace path]\webapps\xmlui” and I get a blank page when I go to http://localhost:8080/, however if I go to http://localhost:8080/xmlui it works fine. I’ve tried the context fragments, with ROOT.xml in tomcat\conf\catalina\localhost\ and still have the same issue. Restarted the tomcat server, restarted the server, still having not luck.
