[Dspace-tech] Internal server error after Solaris 9 install

[Stephen Gallacher]

I have attempted to install Dspace on a Solaris 9 system which had all the
contributed software, now included with Solaris, pre-installed.
This consisted of Java2 1.4.0, Tomcat 4.0.1, Apache 1.3.27.
mod_webapp is also pre-installed.

I then installed Ant 1.4 and Postgres 7.2.3 and followed the installation
steps as per the notes.
I had to repeat the steps a few times as I had not used the correct usernames
and not repeated from a clean install.

Now everything installs without any errors and when I connect to the home
page, index.jsp, I get the java exception message below.
Is the problem to do with a conflict between the jar files in dspace's lib
directory and the files included with the tomcat install, activation.jar,
mail.jar, servlet.jar and xerces.jar ?

Has anyone else successfully installed DSpace on a Solaris 9 + contrib system ?

Thanks for any help,

Stephen Gallacher

Hi Stephen,

Looks like a mod_webapp problem to me.

Are you able to connect to DSpace directly through tomcat? Should be
something like http://demo:8080/index.jsp (note http instead of
https).

Hi Greg,
I have got tomcat set to port 8008 in server.xml, but it does not
return if I point my browser at it.

I should have included the rest of the error rather than only the part
returned as a mail message :-
