I'm trying to install 7.6 on Azure Ubuntu 20 and we completed the installation steps for the back-end. We make a curl call to check the web application at tomcat and we are getting the following error:
Circular placeholder reference 'dspace.dir' in property definition
We have checked the answer DSpace 7.2 with Tomcat 9.0 - Circular placeholder reference 'dspace.dir' in property definitions
At /tomcat/
but we already have set the dspace.dir = /dspace on our local.cfg file.
UPDATE: I have found a solution but I am not sure it is correct:
At file:
/webapps/server/WEB-INF/classes/application.properties
There is a property dspace.dir=${dspace.dir} and by changing it to dspace.dir=/dspace the application starts.
My objection is that this file is generated by "and fresh-install".
Shouldn't this file be generated with correct properties?
Is it something else wrong that I can not see?
Thanks in advance.
