Hi Michel, The Installation documentation for DSpace gives a brief overview of DSpace directories: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-OverviewofDSpaceDirectories
Be aware that you always must *build* DSpace from the [dspace-source] folder (which for you sounds like is ~/dspace-6.1-src-release), and you must *install* it to a separate location (which we refer to as [dspace] or the installation folder). NEVER install DSpace into the same "source" folder, as that will cause major issues. If the tutorial you are following is confusing on this factor, I'd recommend reading the Installation documentation itself first...to get an overview of the process of installing DSpace. Maybe you'll even find the installation docs to be clear enough to use them directly. Here's the installation docs I'm referencing: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace I don't know the answer to your database question, as "poc-dspace" isn't something that comes with DSpace by default. Is it maybe referencing something you've setup? If so, then that WARNING is likely saying that DSpace doesn't understand what you are calling "poc-dspace"...as it says "Name or service unknown". If you have other questions let us know on this list, and hopefully we can help!

I'm starting to know more about Dspace and installing it here in my institution. There's something I do not understand: which location should I use to install Dspace (maybe you're already thinking where you wish) but I'm following a tutorial (non-official) that it's kinda confusing me. I'm installing the Dspace resource version, so I downloaded the application and unziped it and I could see that there's already a folder (called 'dspace') where I could use to build the app. However when I go to the '~/dspace-6.1-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-installer/config/dspace.cfg' file, the attribute 'dspace.dir' is set to '/dspace': yes I know that I can probably change this with what I want, but the thing is many TomCat configuration files from the tutorial I mentioned consider '/dspace' as the place where the application was installed. What I really question myself is why don't use the 'dspace' folder that is inside the unziped source code and build the application somewhere else? I used the 'dspace' folder as the location where I installed the application (Dspace) for now Here is the link from the tutorial I'm using (https://amdmaher.wordpress.com/dspace-digital-repository/dspace-6-installation-on-debian-9-stretch/)...I'm using also the official documentation to try to understand how I can figure things out. Second question: Is the warning concerning database connection test that I'm receiving when the application is built or rebuilt harmful? Should I do something to fix this? The warn file is attached Translation for the Java.net.UnknownHostException: [java] java.net.UnknownHostException: poc-dspace: Name or service unknown Ps: I'm using Debian 9!!!
