Install OpenMRS

paolamagro · February 10, 2019, 6:36pm

I’m trying to install OpenMRS on my pc, but I can’t and it gives me this error.

OpenMRS is not able to start.

The following error occurred at startup:

Unable to start OpenMRS. Error thrown was: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘conversionService’: Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: java.util.Set org.openmrs.module.uiframework.UiFrameworkConversionServiceFactoryBean.springManagedConverters; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘stringToAppDescriptorConverter’: Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.openmrs.module.appframework.service.AppFrameworkService org.openmrs.module.appui.converter.StringToAppDescriptorConverter.appFrameworkService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type [org.openmrs.module.appframework.service.AppFrameworkService] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)} Related cause: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘appFrameworkService’ defined in URL

…etc. Can someone help me? Thank you, Paola

@paolamagro, @tendomart is asking you to share the operating system, maven, JDK and git versions that you are running.

paolamagro · February 11, 2019, 6:00pm

Hi tendomart! I’m using a MacOs Mojave version 10.14.3, I downloaded Java JDK 11.0.2, MySQL 8.0.15, tomcat was provided in the standalone package.

Hi jwnasambu! I’m using a MacOs Mojave version 10.14.3, I downloaded Java JDK 11.0.2, MySQL 8.0.15, tomcat was provided in the standalone package. I don’t know what maven is…i just need to run this program to use it for research (browse database and insert data).

tendomart · February 12, 2019, 11:30am

@paolamagro Am not sure of how MacOS manages caches @dkayiwa do you think he needs to do some cache cleaning on his Unix instance before his re-installation?

dkayiwa · February 12, 2019, 12:04pm

What does not working mean?

paolamagro · February 12, 2019, 7:58pm

dkayiwa · February 17, 2019, 9:18am

Can you share the current server log on using Java version 1.8 and MySQL version 5.7?

Thank you I had the same problem downgrading the version of java helped.

For anyone having this problem despite having the correct java version, check your POM files. The root POM will be directly located in your module and your other POM file will be in yourmodul/omod. My error was in my POM omod file.

This is where my error was coming from <dependency> <groupId>org.openmrs.module</groupId> <artifactId>appframework-api</artifactId> <scope> provided </scope> </dependency>

Corrected dependency: <dependency> <groupId>org.openmrs.module</groupId> <artifactId>appframework-api</artifactId> <version>2.8</version> <type>jar</type> </dependency>

Something that was helpful for me was running just: mvn in my terminal. It’s incorrectly formatted so the terminal gives you options on correct formatting. I honestly just went through every command until one of them failed. And that led me to find where my error was coming from. Hopefully this helps someone and saves you a lot of time
