That suggests one more possible problem - hopefully one you won't run into, but just in case you do - you might verify that the following directory exists, and contains many files, not just 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar': /Users/Rbettivia/Downloads/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/cspace/lib/ You can do this by typing, at a prompt in your Terminal window or tab: ls /Users/Rbettivia/Downloads/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/cspace/lib/ If this directory doesn't exist, or if it contains only one file, 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar', you might once again follow the full set of steps under "Download" in the v1.5 installation guide (http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/CSPACE15/Installing+1.5+on+Generic+Unix-like+or+Windows+Systems). In particular, make sure that, at step 6, you unpack both of the two tar.gz files, *and* that you unpack both files within the same directory. (The second .tar.gz file you unpack will partly overwrite the files from the first one you already unpacked, but also add some new files.) That way, both the server/default/ and server/cspace directories will be successfully created within /Users/Rbettivia/Downloads/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA Good luck! Aron Roberts
