If Dspace shows the error of "http status 404", it means that Tomcat user has no permission

to make changes in Dspace folders.

The lack of Tomcat user on Dspace folders can also generate problem of reluctant to upload
the documents.

Solution
We need to give the permission to the Tomcat user to access Dspace folders, upload and
assetstore. First find the Tomcat user name in the Dspace computer. My Tomcat user name
is tomcat. Then assign all permissions to write changes in the folders. Open a Terminal and
apply following commands:

sudo su
chown -R tomcat /dspace/upload
chown -R tomcat /dspace/assetstore
