thanks, Mark, I have forgot to mention that the problem has been solved. Two people helped me offline. Basically I need to go to github to download the Messages.properties manually and put it in [resources] directory (I created [resources] directory because it's not there), and rebuild it. I never suspected that the rebuild is so simple and easy.
Thank you very much for your input.

Can anyone tell me if > that is why I don't have Messages.properties. Thanks so much. You are correct. 'dspace-5.1-release.tar.gz' is the precompiled version, and Messages.properties is packed inside one of the .jar files that it downloads. > If that's really the reason, what is the remedy? If you unpack a copy of the file, edit it, and place it in [DSpace]/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes, I think that copy will be found before the one in the JAR, but I have not tested this. You can unpack it this way: cd [DSpace] jar xf webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/lib/dspace-api-5.1.jar Messages.properties That should result in a copy of the file being placed in [DSpace]. -- Mark H.
