Thanks Graham. Here is one loop from repetitive output in /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out :
INFO: HTMLManager: start: Starting web application at '/dspace' 15-Nov-07 7:49:19 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Error in dependencyCheck 15-Nov-07 7:49:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Error getConfigured 15-Nov-07 7:49:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Context [/dspace] startup failed due to previous errors 15-Nov-07 7:49:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext stop INFO: Container org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/dspace] has not been started 15-Nov-07 7:49:21 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO: HTMLManager: list: Listing contexts for virtual host 'localhost' Nothing in my /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/web.xml points to /dspace/dspace.cfg -- should it? It almost looks like part of Tomcat isn't loading? By the way, /tomcat5/webapps/dspace/ and /tomcat5/webapps/dspace-oai/ directories do contain installation files. I am not running SELinux, nor am I blocking any services or port 8080. Could this be caused by a permissions-related issue? Other Tomcat-related applications (such as jsp examples) are working.
