Error when setting the Date of Birth

mick.lynch · October 25, 2019, 6:14pm

Hi there,

I’m having the following issue with setting the Date of Birth for a new Patient:

I am using the default date picker but I still get an error Please select a valid birthdate or age.

Any help greatly appreciated. Mick

Which browser are you using? Do you still get the same error when you use a different one?

mick.lynch · October 27, 2019, 6:32pm

Thanks @dkayiwa, I tried with both Google Chrome and Firefox and I get the same error.

I am working on a linux computer (if that makes a difference).

What is your currently selected locale in OpenMRS?

mick.lynch · October 28, 2019, 4:09pm

My locale is set to the default en_GB

Does it work if you fill in the Age instead of Birthdate?

mick.lynch · October 28, 2019, 11:02pm

If I fill in Age it brings me to the shortPatientForm.form page. When I try to save on that page I get the same error Birthdate is an invalid Date.

Bump…any idea on how to solve this issue? I tried on a Windows machine with Chrome & MS Edge but still the same result.

Can you share your server side log at pastebin.com?

mick.lynch · October 30, 2019, 9:51pm

Great, thanks. Here is the pastebin from my catalina.out.

It works on my local machine but when I upload to AWS EC2 Instance, I have errors picking dates.

Which version of Java are you running?

mick.lynch · October 31, 2019, 2:12pm

Good point, I was running JRE but now I switched to Java 8

$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_222"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_222-8u222-b10-1ubuntu1~18.04.1-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.222-b10, mixed mode)

I restarted TomCat but get the same error.

What is the time zone setting of the server?

mick.lynch · November 1, 2019, 1:22am

It’s in Amazon’s eu-west-1 region. UTC timezone.

dkayiwa · November 1, 2019, 5:01am

Is it the same time zone as on your local machine?

mick.lynch · November 1, 2019, 12:20pm

No, my local machine is EDT timezone. Do I need to build the war file on a machine in the same timezone?

dkayiwa · November 1, 2019, 1:49pm

Just for troubleshooting purposes, can you temporarily change your local time zone to that of the server and see what happens?

mick.lynch · November 1, 2019, 1:58pm

I tried changing the server timezone to the same timezone as my local machine. I restarted tomcat but I still get the same error.

(thanks for all your help so far on this Daniel!)
