dspace create-administrator fails

Question

I am working on installing the dspace 6.1 src release. I am on Suse 12.2. I have followed the installation instructions carefully, followed the ideas in this post, and cleaned-reinstalled-retried the create-administrator script and the user script numerous times yesterday and today. I always get the same error:

dspace@mycomputer:~/dspace_install> bin/dspace create-administrator
Exception: The schema validator returned: Unable to create requested 
service [org.hibernate.engine.spi.CacheImplementor]

I have not found this error anywhere online. The closest is that posting from 2015 above. My database did not have default entries in the epersongroup table, so I added the entries suggested the post above (add 'Anonymous' and 'Administrator' groups). Still I am getting the same error.

I would be grateful for any help!

I just spoke with my colleague, who found the real problem. We installed 2 instances of Dspace on the same server, and he found the setting for the hibernate ehcache (hibernate-ehcache-config.xml) in the [dspace-src]/dspace/config directory. This was referenced in the exception message I posted in my question above. There is a warning in hibernate-ehcache-config.xml that when you have more than one instance of dspace on the same server, you need separate diskStore folders for the hibernate ehcache. I created a separate one for my Dspace instance, then reversed my setting for dspace.hostname in the local.cfg file so it shows the server domain name, and everything works, the server, and create-administrator on the command line.
