Thanks very much for your response. I am having trouble finding where this "org.dspace.content.Community" class is located within my server. Wouldn't it be located within a .java file somewhere? If you could explain where I could find this code on my server that would be really helpful! By the way, I have not changed any paths, so it would be in its default location.
