Please, don't cross-post. Your question belongs to dspace-tech only. The bi_* tables are the old browse index. Since DSpace 4, it's not used by default anymore unless you explicitly configure to use the Postgres DAO rather then the Solr DAO [1].
In your dspace.log I don't see any problem which would pertain to these bi_* tables. What did you do when those postgres errors were logged? Anyway, there's another problem in dspace.cfg, unrelated to bi_* tables. Your DSpace cannot connect to Solr, which now provides the browse and search functionality. Make sure that you deployed the solr webapp, that it's running and that you configured DSpace to point to their correct URL (which may be different from the example below): server=http://localhost:8080/solr/statistics in [dspace]/config/modules/solr-statistics.cfg. solr.url=http://localhost:8080/solr/oai in [dspace]/config/modules/oai.cfg and search.server=http://localhost:8080/solr/search in [dspace]/config/modules/discovery.cfg All of these can be changed at once at build time by changing solr.server=http://localhost:8080/solr in [dspace-source]/build.properties [1] https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-4_x/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L1016-1017 Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
