Circular placeholder reference 'dspace.dir' in property definition

[Christoforos Korifidis]

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"

I have set on local.cfg the correct value for dspace.dir = /dspace

Can someone help me ?

Hi,

A "circular placeholder" error means that you have a configuration that attempts to load itself... See this answer on StackOverflow:  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71712261/dspace-7-2-with-tomcat-9-0-circular-placeholder-reference-dspace-dir-in-prop
