Thanks for the link to your detailed guide. The Manakin Theme Tutorial says to restart Tomcat to "install" a new theme, whereas your wiki says to rebuild DSpace, which judging by the example rebuild script involves not only restarting Tomcat but also running Maven and Ant. So when you have a source installation do you have to "rebuild" to get DSpace to see the new theme directory?

I'm comfortable at the Unix/Linux command line, but I'm not a system administrator. I'm working with a source (not binary) installation of DSpace 5.1 on Ubuntu. I'm following the "Manakin theme tutorial" here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Manakin+theme+tutorial I'm finding that I can edit /dspace/config/xmlui.xconf to indicate any of the pre-installed themes (Mirage, Reference, Classic, Kubrick, template), restart Tomcat, and the new theme gets applied successfully. But if I indicate a theme in a directory I've made, Tomcat returns an error message (details below). For example, if I copy the "template" directory and call it "test" like so: cd /dspace/webapps/xmlui/themes cp -r template test and then edit /dspace/config/xmlui.xconf to indicate the "test" theme like so: <theme name="test" regex=".*" path="test/" /> then when I restart Tomcat it returns this error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: jndi:/localhost/xmlui/themes/test/sitemap.xmap I don't see how it can be a permissions problem, because both the "template" and "test" directories have the same owner and permissions, and the files in those directories have the same owner and permissions. That is, the directories appear to be identical except for the name. Any ideas as to why setting the config to this: <theme name="template" regex=".*" path="template/" /> works just fine, whereas this: <theme name="test" regex=".*" path="test/" /> fails? Thanks, Greg PS. For the newbie, it's not clear whether the changes described in the tutorial should happen in the source directory at ~/dspace-5.1-src-release/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes -- or in /dspace/webapps/xmlui/themes -- or both. The tutorial indicates the source directory, but it refers to DSpace 1.5, so that's not necessarily accurate. Based on the error message described above -- which says ".../xmlui/themes/..." -- apparently UI customizations are supposed to be made in /dspace/webapps/xmlui/themes. So the tutorial needs to be updated, right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette
