New DSpace 7 install doesn't load CSS/JS

[Marcel Grosjean]

Hello, 

I'm kind of desperate now because I tried countless times to install Dspace 7 and I end up with the same error every time. 

The error is described here https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8011 (Sorry for the post in the wrong place btw).

I tried with Centos 8, Debian 10/11, Ubuntu 21.04. I made sure only openJDK 11 was installed and used.

Here is all the steps I did to reproduce the error on Centos 8 : 

OpenJDK 11

# yum install java-11-openjdk-devel

# alternatives --config java // only jdk 11 is selected
# alternatives --config javac // only jdk 11 is selected

Test

Try to access http://127.0.0.1:8080/server/ and I can not load css/js/...

Any idea why it doesn't work ?

A helping hand will be greatly appreciated ;)

Thanks !
