Dspace 7.6 server webapp not starting after fresh_install

[federico....@gmail.com]

Hi,

After completing the installation of Dspace 7.6 (a fresh installation on a fresh VM), having solr and tomcat 9 running OK, the server webapp is not starting (see atacched dspace and catalina logs showing a lot of errors).  

See also attached mvn and ant fresh_install outputs

I triple checked each step of the installation process and spent hours browsing the web for similar errors, with no success.

And the result is ....... 404 ......The requested resource [/server] is not available

(attached screen pic)

The only funny thing is the solr cores are not showed in 

http://redi-ti.anii.org.uy:8983/solr/#/

(I´ll let 8983 open for a while)

Please help.  Let me know if you need more information.

Regards

PS: I also tried with 7.5 with the same result

SOLVED

The DSpace cores must be in /var/solr/data

Following https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-BackendInstallation I had copied them to /opt/solr/server/solr/configsets/, that is where I have solr installed 

I also add user tomcat to solr group
