Hello everyone ;

i have been following the sdk wiki page steps in regards to creating a server to run the OpenMRS platform or a distribution as seen here https://pastebin.com/AqSjLfHg but i get this error “Failed to setup server: NullPointerException” when it comes to selecting the database username… I need some assistance on how to resolve this … Thanks

@gcliff have you specified the right database username? because if you keenly follow the error log, it’s at that point that it fails.

when i was installing mysql i did not specify the username, thats why its root by default, it has finally worked,am now able to create the servers. i switched from git to windows command line and it worked

great to hear,a few things to note here when you do not specify a database name,the name of the server becomes the name of the database by default.
