Freemarker Template Error

[Chris Eady]

Hi Everyone. New to VIVO here.

I am trying to deploy VIVO to ubuntu, but I get an Freemarker Template Error (see below):

I first ran VIVO locally where things were fine. Then I moved them to the ubuntu server. Solr is pinging, and my search index is working. I just have this template error when I try to use any template but the default "Vitro" template. Any ideas?

Thanks guys!

ERROR:

There was an error in the system.

Error message: TemplateException creating processing environment
