Hello friends, I created a reference application module successfully. Then, I executed the command \ and I was told that openmrs is ready for me at \< [http://localhost:8080/openmrs/](http://localhost:8080/openmrs/)\> which I used and everything went on well. However, I used a wrong username and password in an attempt to login and when I now use the correct login details( username=admin and password=Admin123) I get the following message:“You cannot view or manage the Add Ons since you don’t have the privileges and you are not an admin. To get the permissions contact the system administrator”. Here is also the log from the command prompt: [Failure to login - Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/YjXy3kWc) . I kindly request for your guidance. @mozzy , @herbert24 , @jwnasambu@dkayiwa, @ibacher and the rest please. ---

You are facing the same problem as the one reported here: [You cannot view or manage addon manager](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/you-cannot-view-or-manage-addon-manager/31750) This is a bug in the addon manager open web app. Feel free to [create a ticket](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Tickets) for it. As a workaround, do another sdk setup and choose `Distribution` instead of `Platform`. This will ensure that you have some user interface modules. ---

@settix when starting the server kindly use `mvn openmrs-sdk:run` command ---

Thank you so much @dkayiwa . Let me follow these guide lines. ---

@jwnasambu Thanks for the clue. However, the problem may not be with the command as @dkayiwa has attested. I don’t know whether we are on the same page. If I am off side please throw more light. ---

> [@settix](#): > > Then, I executed the command \ and I was told that openmrs is ready for me at @settix We are on the same page. My comment originates from the above clause. After installing the `Distribution` instance, don’t run \ to start the server because you are bound to run into another error that is what I was trying to communicate the right command is `mvn openmrs-sdk:run` Am sorry to have confused you prior. Hopefully am making sense now! ---

@jwnasambu . Thanks a great deal. Its very clear now. Let me proceed with the creation of Distribution instance. ---

Oops @dkayiwa just saw your comment on [https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/RESTWS-767](https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/RESTWS-767), will take a look… ---

@dkayiwa what’s the best way to reproduce this locally? set up a new Platform 2.4.0 via the SDK? ---

Thanks for reviewing and merging the fix @dkayiwa … do you think we should do a 2.4.x platform maintenance release? ---

Hi, I’m running into the same issue. Is there a solution to this? I used the enterprise WAR version and deployed it using Tomcat 8.5 and mysql 5.7. I need this for production use so I need to use the enterprise version. ---
