Hi Bryce, You can check that both your database and email settings are OK by running these scripts:
- [dspace]/bin/dspace test-database - [dspace]/bin/dspace test-email Depending on the error, if you view the HTML source of the internal error page in your browser, half way down you may see a stack trace that will indicate the problem. SOme errors however will only show: <!-- No stack trace available --> Check that the user your tomcat server runs as, can write to [dspace]/* (for example [dspace]/logs).
