Well, there a likelihood that the referenceapplication has not started and there could be other modules that need to be installed and started first before referenceapplication could start successfully. You can experiment this by going to the manage modules page on the demo server [https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/admin/modules/module.list](https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/admin/modules/module.list) and then click the “Start All” button to start all modules. Kindly feel free to share the tomcat logs using pastebin just incase you get an error.
