I did not! I suspected that was necessary, but could no figure it out
what would be the structure of that file. I even looked at another IPT
test installation I manage, but as it is deployed as rpm package, could
not find the equivalent.
Can you help with a sample of whar datadir.location should look like?
Thanks for the support.

Dear all,
I am having troubles in upgrading my IPT 3.1.7 installation to 3.2.3. I
am on a Debian 12, with tomcat9 and openJDK 17.
I am upgrading in the old way of replacing by the war with the new
version. However, ver 3.2.3 fails to deploy with the following error in
catalina.out:
ERROR ContextLoader Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error
creating bean with name 'freemarkerConfig' defined in class path
resource [applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed;
nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No data dir has
been configured yet
at
org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1804)
at
org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:620)
...
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No data dir has been
configured yet
at org.gbif.ipt.config.DataDir.dataFile(DataDir.java:173)
at
org.gbif.ipt.config.IPTModule.provideFreemarker(IPTModule.java:112)
...
I had no problems in upgrading from 3.1.6 to 3.1.7, namely in defining
the data dir, but any attempt with 3.2 fails.
Can you help?
Best,
Rui
