Provider Scheduling, Create Appointment and Manage Appointments throw 500 Server error

#1

Application Name: Reference Application Version Number: 2.3.0 Build b3ade0

Question: Opening Provider Scheduling, Create Appointment, and Manage Appointments pages under Appointment Module in the system administration throw 500 Server error.

I have installed the reference application on Windows machine using xampp which has Apache, MySQL, and Tomcat built-in. I am trying out this application to evaluate if it meets the requirements of a health facility that is looking forward to implementing a health information system.

**Java Version:**1.8.0_92

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Sanjeet

Could there be a reason why you are not using the latest release of the reference application?

#3

Thank you Daniel for your reply, much appreciated.

I installed the latest version and it is working fine for me now.

However, I was wondering if there is any privacy setting in the appointment module.

For instance, I create an appointment with a provider, then login with another provider and I am able to see the first provider’s appointment schedule in the calendar view.

Is there a setting in openmrs that disallows this?

Thank you

#4

Am not aware of any such setting. Feel free to create a ticket for this.
