My apologies, I accidentally clicked "Reply to author" instead of "Reply to All". And thanks again for all your help.
Addressing your last (private) message: - Nothing in the *install* failed. Just getting the REST API / Backend page to have the correct output, linking to css and js in the non-existent "browser" directory is what I'm working on fixing. After building with Maven it shows everything successful. Ditto for installing with Ant. - I have looked in *all* my tomcat logs: The catalina and localhost logs only had [INFO] level messages, no errors. The localhost_access_log has all the 404's. The manager and host-manage logs have nothing in them. - I believe I have all the correct dependencies / versions: FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE *openjdk11-11.0.12* maven33-3.3.9 apache-ant-1.10.8 postgresql12-server-12.8 t*omcat9-9.0.52* apache-solr-8.9.0 - My /usr/local/apache-tomcat-9.0/webapps/server directory and everything below are owned by "www" which is the tomcat user on my system. As for permissions, they look normal at a glance. Is there anything in this directory tree that needs executable permissions? - I have rebuilt and deployed via maven & ant a ton of times, but thanks for checking on that. And yes, I've been running "mvn clean" before running "mvn package" again.Thanks for the tips on doing "mvn clean package" and "ant update" (instead of "ant fresh_install" like I've been doing every time). - There *has* been someone else with this issue, but unfortunately no resolution, but I wouldn't expect you to remember this post <https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-community/c/-JKj_xrgLYM> from back in May. I'll keep plugging away and trying different things...
