Hi Helix, Thanks for the speedy reply. I wish that I could just use a disk image, but unfortunately the testing server is shared space.
When you say to match the versions of the dependencies, do you mean that they all have to match PROD, or that they have to meet the requirements. For example, Maven in PROD is version 3.0.3, but on the test server it is version 2.2.1. This meets the requirement, but it is not a match—is this an issue?

Sounds right. You may also have something left in the Tomcat configuration that normally doesn't change one DSpace version to the next, but you will want to match that with your production server, too (server.xml and/or $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/*). Make sure to match the versions of all dependencies: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Installation#Installation-PrerequisiteSoftware If fact, I wouldn't bother with doing all that. Why not just dump the disk image to the other server, change network and hostname settings and be sure you have a 1:1 copy? Even easier to do that if it's a VM.
