Hi Try deploying your properties files straight to your dspace instance to see if they are working correctly;
1. /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/dspace/jspui/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes (change the path to your unpacked dspace war path) 2. Restart tomcat You could also check that the correct properties files are being deployed by checking the above path.
