Hi @dkayiwa, here are the most recent logs.

What is the name of the file from which you are getting the contents for openmrs\_log.txt? It is not the full log as i expected. It looks truncated. ---

the log file name is: openmrs.log only. As upload option is not allowing .log extensions I just copied it to text file. ---

Can you try a non snapshot but officially released version? For instance the OpenMRS Reference Application version 2.8.1? ---

Hi @dkayiwa, As you suggested, I have tried with Platform version 2.1.4. Still facing the same issue. The app is working fine with Tomcat server. Its the issue with JBOSS EAP server. ERROR - AbstractLoggingWriter.write(71) |2019-02-11 08:54:04,452| java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBWEB000243: Context /openmrs has already been initialized [openmrs\_2.1.4\_logs.txt](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4345be6151741f67282c9e02e9657a0c501317e6.txt) (5.3 KB) Could you please help to resolve the issue.

I mean trying out the reference application version 2.8 [https://openmrs.org/download/](https://openmrs.org/download/) ---

I already tried reference application version 2.8.0 WAR but it didnt work for us as we were deploying it on JBOSS server. ---

What is the meaning of it didn’t work for us? ---

the WAR file deployment didnt work for us because: 1. When we deploy the WAR file on Openshift Origin - JBOSS EAP server, we faced the below issue: [Error: Invalid ‘log4jConfigLocation’ parameter: class path resource [log4j.xml] ](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/error-invalid-log4jconfiglocation-parameter-class-path-resource-log4j-xml-while-hosting-core-module-on-openshift-origin-jboss-server/21515) 1. We cannot deploy the WAR, as there is no option to restart the OSO Pod. We were not able to keep the omod files and restart the application/Pod. Thats why we are trying with openmrs-core module through source code. Hope you understand. Thanks ---

How about deploying an officially released war file, but afterwards edit the web.xml file in expanded openmrs folder? [Previous page](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/can-we-keep-reference-application-modules-omod-files-in-openmrs-webapps-web-inf-view-module-folder/21612.md?page=2)
