Hi, I think the issue you may be having is that the REST API *must be accessible* to all users of DSpace. If the REST API host is "localhost" that means it's only available on localhost. It won't be accessible to users coming from any other machine.
It's important the realize that the User Interface always runs in the users' browser. So, every user's browse *MUST* be able to communicate with the REST API. This is why we recommend that the REST API always be on a "publicly access", HTTPS URL in the installation guide (see step 17): https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-BackendInstallation Tim On Friday, September 15, 2023 at 5:47:39 AM UTC-5 phiri...@gmail.com wrote: > when I changed localhost to the IP address of the installed PC in the > following scripts: > > *1. sudo mousepad /dspace/config/local.cfg* > dspace.ui.url = http://localhost:4000 > dspace.server.url = http://localhost:8080/server > > *2. sudo mousepad > /home/dspace/dspace-angular-dspace-7.5/config/config.prod.yml* > ssl: false > host: localhost > port: 4000 > > # The REST API server settings > # NOTE: these settings define which (publicly available) REST API to use. > They are usually > # 'synced' with the 'dspace.server.url' setting in your backend's > local.cfg. > rest: > ssl: false > host: localhost > port: 8080 > # NOTE: Space is capitalized because 'namespace' is a reserved string in > TypeScript > nameSpace: /server > > > *3. sudo mousepad /home/dspace/dspace-angular-dspace-7.5/dspace-ui.json* > Find the line, > > "DSPACE_REST_HOST": "localhost", > > Change localhost to the IP address.
