Dspace on Ubuntu 24.04

[Rupinder Singh]

Hi, 

I just updated my dspace server to latest 24.04. and it made the installed tomcat 9 non functional.. when I checked the package was not there. When it tried reinstalling it with apt, it says "this release candidate is not available". So I installed whatever version was available on 24.04, which was Apache 10. 

Now my dspace server is not showing anything on 8080 REST interface, and web interface on port 4000 shows an error 500.

What is the problem?

Thanks

Hi Rupinder,

It's very difficult for anyone to help unless you can figure out the underlying error that is occurring.  A 500 error simply means that either the User Interface cannot find the REST API, or there's an error occurring in the REST API.  Please follow the troubleshooting guide to try to locate the underlying error message https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)

Finding the underlying error message is the only way for others to help, as it will provide clues as to what the problem is.  Once you find that error message, you may want to see if it's already answered on this mailing list (by searching the list archives) or in our Common Installation Issues at the bottom of the Install guide.
