This sounds like you changed files directly under Tomcat's webapps directory and they were overwritten when you restarted Tomcat. There is an explanation of the various directories that DSpace uses in the DSpace manual: http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch10.html As is explained there, you shouldn't edit files under the webapps directory yourself. They are copied there from the source directory when you rebuild DSpace. If you want to be able to test changes quickly and without rebuilding (perfectly justified for changes to the CSS and i18n), then make your changes in the source directory, copy them into the webapps folder manually and refresh the page in your browser. I hope this helps. cheers, Andrea -- Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
