DSpace7 not showing communities and collections

[ramon...@gmail.com]

Hello All.

I make  migration from DSpace6 to DSpace7 following the documentations.

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Upgrading+DSpace

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Migrating+DSpace+to+a+new+server

I installed DSpace7 in new server and follow the steps of these documentations.

In this group normally is recommended run database migration, copy of solr folders, test solr connection when erros show up. I've already make these steps.

- Follow the steps of database migration using the command:

[dspace]/bin/dspace database migrate ignored as mentioned in docs.

- Copy Solr cores from DSpace to Solr configsets folder;

- Run Indexing:

[dspace]/bin/dspace index-discovery -b

- Test Solr:

${solr.server}/search/select  and it return a json

Actually tomcat, Solr and Frontend is running but I have a problem.

In Frontend, I can see the eperson and groups imported from Dspace6 database, but communities, collections and author, title browse is showing nothing.

Hi,

Whenever you find that DSpace 7.x is acting up, it's best to use the Troubleshooting guide to look for underlying errors.  

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)

Sometimes you'll find that a simple misconfiguration or similar is to blame.  Some of the common installation/configuration issues are listed in our install guide at:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-CommonInstallationIssues

In your situation, my suspicion is that the UI is having trouble contacting the REST API.  Or, maybe the REST API is having issues contacting Solr.  In either case, you need to find the underlying error to tell what is going on.
