Hi, The default installation of Tomcat5.5 on Debian has the Java Security Manager enabled - however it won't have any (appropriate) policies defined.
As such, it is disallowing the ConfigurationManager from reading the system property "dspace.configuration". You either need to disable the security manager, or specify a policy to allow access. Disable security manager: edit /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 and set "TOMCAT5_SECURITY" to "NO". Adding a policy should be something like: create /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/05dspace.policy with the contents: grant codebase "file:${catalina.home}/webapps/dspace/-" { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; This was taken from: http://forums.pentaho.org/showthread.php?p=157283 Someone will probably shout if it's wrong!
