[Dspace-tech] Problem with item import

[Aakash Chauhan]

Hello,
We are trying to import few items to dspace, it works fine for some of
the files and for some files it throws following error. Also one thing
we observed is that this error is not item specific means say its
throwing following error for item 5 initially but later when we
restart import again it will throw same error for item 7 and item 5
will go just fine. Also there is enough disk space and so we are not
sure why it throws following error. Any ideas?

Thank you,
Aakash

This sounds like an old permissions problem - try logging in as root and
then typing "chown -R user assetstore" where user is the name of the
DSpace user (the user running Tomcat) and assetstore is your assetstore
directory. If this fixes the problem, then the cause is accidentally
running DSpace/Tomcat as root, adding a few items, and the assetstore
directories that get created only have root permissions. For reasons I
understand but disagree with Java gives a weird and confusing 'no such
file or directory' when you run DSpace/Tomcat later as a user other than
root and don't have permission to modify those directories.
