Hi -- Thanks for your responses! I tried changing ownership of the /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ war files that were copied as part of the installation to user Tomcat. I also killed the Apache service and restarted the Tomcat service. Now http://localhost:8080 displays the default Tomcat page, http://localhost:8080/dspace (and http://localhost:8080/dspace/) still displays a 404 error (albeit a Tomcat 404 message). Any other ideas? Thanks again, Billy
