Bahmni installer seems stuck for a long time on bahmni-erp

I was following the steps mentioned on Bahmni Wiki for installing v0.82 on Centos and it seems my installation got stuck in this line:

TASK [bahmni-erp : Install bahmni-erp from bahmni-repo] ************************ task path: /opt/bahmni-installer/bahmni-playbooks/roles/bahmni-erp/tasks/main.yml:30

Nothing has happened in 15 minutes after that. Should I clean the server and start again or what would be the best way to try again, to continue from here?

I also had the same issue when I was installing v0.82 on DO yesterday. It continues after a while. But, if you killed it, or your connection broke, you can login again and just fire “bahmni install” command again. The command has been designed to continue from where it left off, so even if you run it multiple times, it won’t cause any issues.

Hello,

After this issue, I ran the bahmni instalI script again and got the installation through. Although now it stays running “loading icon” when connecting to [IP address]/home

Where to investigate why I can’t get pass the loading?

Please check the logs “/var/log/openmrs/openmrs.log

Due to a work trip I could go back to the server logs only now. It seems that there are issues concerning running Java (getting exhausted).

Besides that I looked that the other services and databases are running except “Service openmrs is not running, neither bahmni-erp-connect”. Also reports were not running but that went on by the command “sudo service bahmni-reports start”. The similar command didn’t launch openmrs or erp-connect.

We need more information to help you out solve the issue

  1. Centos version
  2. Memory available

OS:CentOS release 6.7 (Final) uname:Linux 2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.x86_64

From the Java error log:

With the command “free” from the server, about the free memory:

I added more CPU and RAM and got into the main dashboard now! It’s still quite a slow but atleast doesn’t look like a broken system now.

It redirects all the time to https, instead of the http that is in the Bahmni guidebook (“Step 3: Access the Application”). And that gives constant errors / complains by the different browsers I tested (FF, Chrome).

Like this: https://my-ip-address/bahmni/home/index.html#/dashboard

Hello @generare,

The System Requirements mentioned here expect RAM to be atleast 8GB. https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/display/BAH/System+Requirements

If the RAM is less, the system will run slow, and exit / crash unexpectedly when it encounters a need for storing a larger dataset in memory. Request you to please allocate minimum 8GB RAM.

I think you are using Digital Ocean. It doesn’t come pre-setup with swap space, which acts as a temporary storage of in-memory data on the Hard disk. If you haven’t setup swap space, please read these instructions, to setup atleast 4GB RAM. https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=34439320

This should ensure your Bahmni runs fast.

With regards to HTTP going to HTTPs, it is the desired behaviour. Bahmni EMR runs on HTTPs, which is more secure that HTTP. Apache under-the-hood, will always redirect any http request to https, so that all communication over the wire is encrypted. Bahmni is currently shipped with default certificates, which point to domain: mybahmni.org

Since, you are accessing it over an IP Address, the browser complains that certificates do not match the domain being accessed. Hence you see this error/warning about invalid certificates in browser. If you select “Ignore” / “Continue” (Trust these certificates), then next time you won’t see this warning in the same browser.

Ideally, one should setup proper certificates for each deployment. You can do that once you have played with Bahmni. Meanwhile you can just ignore the error and continue. Please read this to understand how to obtain free SSL certificates for your setup: https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/display/BAH/Configuring+Valid+SSL+Certificates

Alternatively, you can make an entry in your machine, to point mybahmni.org to the Digital Ocean IP being accessed, so that in browser when you enter “http://mybahmni.org”, it goes and accesses the right IP address. For that, you will need to update you /etc/hosts file, and make a DNS entry for mybahmni.org. Its really quite simple, just needs a single entry in your /etc/hosts file:

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot! I will read this carefully. Well explained! (I’ll make another post about installing the appointment module)

I have had several issues with the installation -

  1. Hung starting mysql service (though it was up, could not read pid, so I removed it from the tasks and went ahead)
  2. Service to save Ip tables - “The service command supports only basic LSB actions (start, stop, restart, try-restart, reload, force-reload, status). For other actions, please try to use systemctl.” for this I followed the steps given here - https://github.com/limeng0403/libs/blob/master/Linux/How%20can%20i%20use%20iptables%20on%20centos%207.md and moved ahead.
  3. Now I am getting this - “fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: true, “failed”: true, “msg”: “\n\nTransaction check error:\n file /opt/openmrs from install of bahmni-emr-0:0.82-287.noarch conflicts with file from package bahmni-openmrs-0:0.82-26.noarch\n file /opt/openmrs/etc from install of bahmni-emr-0:0.82-287.noarch conflicts with file from package bahmni-openmrs-0:0.82-26.noarch\n\nError Summary\n-------------\n\n”, “rc”: 1, “results”: [“Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks\nLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile\n * base: mirror.nbrc.ac.in\n * epel: ftp.jaist.ac.jp\n * extras: mirror.nbrc.ac.in\n * updates: mirror.nbrc.ac.in\nResolving Dependencies\n–> Running transaction check\n—> Package bahmni-emr.noarch 0:0.82-287 will be installed\n–> Finished Dependency Resolution\n\nDependencies Resolved\n\n================================================================================\n Package Arch Version Repository Size\n================================================================================\nInstalling:\n bahmni-emr noarch 0.82-287 bahmni 41 M\n\nTransaction Summary\n================================================================================\nInstall 1 Package\n\nTotal size: 41 M\nInstalled size: 42 M\nDownloading packages:\nRunning transaction check\nRunning transaction test\n”]}”

This is my first experience with centos - so I am struggling - uname -a - … 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 23 17:05:11 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks for any help, Ashok

Which version of Centos are you using?

cat /etc/redhat-issue

Can you also check the RAM, and HDD size and let us know.

When you installed CentOS, which flavor did you use? (Minimal, Desktop Edition, etc)?

I used the instructions here - https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/display/BAH/Install+Bahmni+on+CentOS

but guess I missed this - “CentOS v7 is currently not certified for Bahmni. Please refer to this Mingle card. Request you to please choose CentOS v6.7 for running Bahmni.” ? Thanks for your quick response, Best, Ashok

Try the following steps yum install yum-utils yum-complete-transaction

After running above commands successfully, rerun bahmni install

Many folks have had problems using Centos V7, which is why that issue has been raised. Would request you to instead use Centos v6.7 or 6.8.

Sravanthi’s suggestion came back with same error. I guess I will go with Gurpreet’s and move to Centos v6.7 or 6.8.

Thank you all, Best,
