Just to clarify Mike, before doing the ant update_configs, did you run: mvn package
from [dspace-source]/dspace? So the process I generally follow is: cd [dspace-source]/dspace mvn package cd target/dspace-x.x.x-build.dir ant init_configs (or ant update_configs) (or ant -Dconfig=/[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update) (or ant update_configs -Doverwrite=true) I don't mean to confuse you with this last line, it's just that I'm confused myself about it - see my post "Poorly worded documentation" (still haven't had any replies to that one, so I'm not sure if I'm the only confused numbskull or if everyone else is so confused they don't know what to tell me). Finally, I can't remember off the top of my head, but after this process you may need to restart your servlet container (in your case, tomcat).
