Setting Up Reference Application for Development

1

Hi All, I am trying to set up a developer reference application environment. I have followed the wiki pages and here are the steps I am doing:

  1. Start MySQL 5.6 server and have a database created
  2. Forked and cloned the openmrs-core repository and ran “mvn clean install” with success
  3. Forked and cloned the openmrs-distro-referenceapplication repository and ran “mvn clean install” with success
  4. Copy the omod files from “…\openmrs-distro-referenceapplication\package\target\distro\web\modules” to folder “…\AppData\Roaming\OpenMRS\modules” folder
  5. Run “mvn jetty:run” in openmrs-core\webapp folder.
  6. Open “http://localhost:8080/openmrs/” in my browser.

I can see the page with “…If you are seeing this page, it means that the OpenMRS Platform is running successfully, but no user interface module is installed…”

Here is the jetty server log:

Could someone let me know if I am missing or doing any steps incorrectly?

Appreciate the help!

Regards, Sai

Hi @svariko,

It looks like your modules aren’t loaded. I’m not really sure about the steps for windows (since I use Linux) and as to what may be wrong ,but since I guess you’re setting it up for development, you may want to try OpenMRS SDK

Can you tell us the full path of where your “openmrs-runtime.properties” file is?

Thanks for the replies.

@reubenv I also tried using the OpenMRS SDK but I had some issues with that as well, I’ll try that again maybe I missed something.

@dkayiwa Here’s the path to the file: “C:\Users\skv\openmrs-core\webapp\openmrs-runtime.txt”

Delete that file, run again, and then share the log.

@dkayiwa Hi Daniel, I deleted the file. But now I am unable to connect to my MySQL database. I’m using a nonstandard port of 3307 to run the server instead of the default 3306 since I have a later version of MySQL installed running a server on the default port already. Is there a way to specify this without the “openmrs-runtime.txt” file?

Can you share the failure log?

Here’s the log: https://pastebin.com/qvrAQ7d3

Also as an update I was able to install the reference application using the OpenMRS SDK.

I’m not sure why it didn’t work earlier. Thanks for the help. The steps above still have the error as in the log in the previous post.

Is using the openmrs-sdk a preferred way of development setup? I’m looking to get started so just exploring currently, no specific use case in mind.

Hey!

As a matter of fact that you aren’t using the default mysql port, can you update yr connection url in C:\Users\skv\Application Data\OpenMRS\openmrs-runtime.properties about your port and try again?
