Hi! Jim,
 
sorry for the confusion regarding "How are you able to "access and browse" 
items if you can't
submit them? ".  Let me explain.
 
(1) Initailly i installed Dspace 1.4.1 and associated software 
(java,tomcat,postgresql) in "machine1" and imported few items through batch 
import. DSpace is working fine. 
(2) later it was decided to have 2 tier implementation, " machine1" with DB and 
"machineweb2" with Dspace, java, and Tomcat. The previous configuration of 
"machine1" was not changed since DSpace was working fine. In "machineweb2" i 
installed JDK, Tomcat and extracted DSpace 1.4.1. When "ant fresh_install" was 
given at DSpace source - bin, the build was unsuccessful. 
(3) Based on your suggestion, i feel it is due to database structure existing 
with "machine1" since it was installed with postgresql, java,tomcat, and DSpace 
software initially . 
(4) In this case shall i remove the items already imported or drop the 
database. How shall i recreate the database once dropped so that it wont effect 
"machine1" DSpace configuration.
(5) Is it better to reinstall postgresql in "machine1". 
(6) Will this effect the existing instance of DSpace running fine on  " 
machine1". 
(7) Is there an option to create a DSpace instance from "machineweb2" without 
changing existing configuration of "machine1".
 
Thanks for your reply and help.
Only few items are existing in "machine1" and removing them and importing them 
again is not a big issue.Please suggest how shall i proceed .
 
Thanks,
Jayan

This error is being thrown because the database structure already
exists. How are you able to "access and browse" items if you can't
submit them? It's difficult to figure out exactly how far you've got
with your installation; if you haven't successfully completed a
fresh_install, you shouldn't deploy the WARs and start using DSpace.
Deploying DSpace half-built is definitely a Bad Idea.

If there is no content in your database, I would recommend dropping it
and starting again with a fresh_install.

Jim
