OpenDJ cannot be started

[NaturalBornCamper]

Hello, I followed these guides:
https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/openam/13.5/getting-started/
https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/openam/13.5/install-guide/

But OpenAM fails to configure, I keep getting this message in “install.log” when using custom configuration:

errorcom.sun.identity.common.configuration.ConfigurationException: OpenDJ cannot be started

I can’t use default configuration because it results in a bunch of errors since it’s trying to set all the ports to “-1”.
So with the manual configuration, I leave everything at default with the recommended ports with the simple user store (not using OpenDJ).
I’m using a Google Cloud VM with Ubuntu 18
OpemAM 13.5.2
Oracle Java (javac 1.8.0_171)
Running tomcat as root using sudo since it’s only a developement environment and I want to avoid permission issues

The ‘-1’ port thing is usually because the hostname isn’t resolvable. Check your /etc/hosts

Hello :)

hosts file is ok, the hostname is reachable. I think it’s the Azure and Google Cloud load balancers.

Anyways, the most important issue is openDJ, I tried on another VM where the default config works and it still hangs when starting OpenDJ, the install.log contains this:

I’m currently trying with the paid Access Management officiall ForgeRock software and the same thing happens, freezes around openDS:
