Then the application is falling over during startup. The two most obvious causes:
1) The configuration item in web.xml that points to dspace.cfg does not match the location of the file. 2) The initialisation servlet is throwing an exception due to running under a security manager, and therefore it can't read the system properties. Either way, you need to check the Tomcat log files to see what error message is being written. G Drrty Byl wrote: > Yes, I have the manager application installed.
