Deploying dspace7 server webapp failed

[Abeer El-Aydi]

I am new to dspace.
I followed the steps of backend installation documentation to install dspace7 byta2 on ubuntu 18.0.4.

In step 10, I copied the server webapp to tomcat webapp folder, and restarted tomcat, then I visited http://localhost:8080/server/; it didn't display the expected page, I did all steps again, it is still not working.
I can't identify the problem.

My first question would be have you checked the logs (starting by looking at the tomcat server logs, probably one of the catalina files)? Is anything not starting up/are there errors occuring here? Do you have Solr up?

Also what do you mean by 'It didn't display the expected page', what were you expecting and what did you get?

I used Technique A on Windows and that worked.

Also as a tip when you get to it, to get the different entity types e.g. Publication or Person rather than the default, then you need to set the relationship.type to an appropriate value to get for example a person's name in search result list.
