I have been trying to install the 2.8.0 standalone version on a Windows 11 machine but keep getting an error that the server is unable to start. I’ll paste the error below but everything I’ve been able to find so far points to it being an issue with the version of Java being used. When I try to install it using the latest, which is Java 8 (1.8), it won’t even run and I get an “UnsupportedClassVersionError” that says it’s written for class 61 but I’m using 52. Class 61 refers to Java 17 but Java 8 only supports up to class 52. So I’m confused about how the latest version of Java is 8 but it was written using Java 17.
I was able to install Java 17 (and several other versions after it didn’t work), which allowed the openmrs-standalone.jar file to run, but then it opens a browser window with the following error:
org.openmrs.module.ModuleException: Unable to start OpenMRS. Error thrown was: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name ‘medicationDispenseFhirR3ResourceProvider’: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method ‘setFhirMedicationDispenseService’ parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name ‘fhirMedicationDispenseServiceImpl’: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method ‘setDao’ parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘fhirMedicationDispenseDaoImpl’ defined in URL [jar:file:/C:/openmrs-standalone-2.8.0/appdata/.openmrs-lib-cache/fhir2/lib/fhir2-api-2.6-2.7.0.jar!/org/openmrs/module/fhir2/api/dao/impl/FhirMedicationDispenseDaoImpl.class]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named ‘cacheInterceptor’ available
I have searched everywhere and installed almost every version of Java along with many other suggestions but just can’t get it to install correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
