Failing setting openmrs server

Hello openmrs community

Am setting openmrs server but it is failing, it brings this error

Hi Oceno Kizito, welcome to the OpenMRS community :slightly_smiling_face:

This error usually happens because Maven is not able to download the required OpenMRS dependency (openmrs-webapp:2.5.9) from the OpenMRS Maven repository.

It’s most likely a network-related issue (internet connection, proxy, firewall, or VPN), not a problem with your OpenMRS setup.

You can try:

  • Running the setup again

  • Checking your internet connection

  • Disabling VPN/proxy if you’re using one

  • Clearing the Maven cache and retrying

  • Trying from a different network

Once Maven can access the repository properly, the server setup should work fine.

Hi @kizitoz, welcome to the community :slightly_smiling_face:

This looks like a Maven dependency resolution issue. I’d suggest clearing the local Maven cache for OpenMRS artifacts and re-running the setup with -U.

Also worth checking if the OpenMRS Maven repo is reachable from your network.
