Thanks Kevin. I just succeeded in cloning and building. i entered the command shown in step 4, but when i manually go to the webapps folder, i cannot see the fineract-provider.war file in it. It seems i have been denied permission to copy the file in to the webapps folder.
Also when i try starting tomcat as a service using the command *sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat8 start, it gives me the error below;* *sh: 0: Can't open /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh* *I am using tomcat8 but that error displays a problem with tomcat7.* *But when i use the command bin/startup.sh, tomcat starts.* On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 6:02 PM Kelvin Ikome <kvnik...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Breder, > > You can find fineract-provider in this repository: > https://github.com/openMF/incubator-fineract > > Clone, build and copy the fineract-provider.war file into your tomcat > webapps directory (/usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/) as specified on step 4 of > the documentation ( > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Fineract+Installation+on+Ubuntu+Server > ). > > Kelvin :) > > On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 5:52 PM Kang Breder <kangbre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello Paul. > > I think i do not have the fineract-provider.war file downloaded in my > > machine and i am having trouble downloading it. > > > > Thank you! > > > > On Tue, Feb 12, 2019 at 5:25 PM paul tuhill > > <paul.tuh...@googlemail.com.invalid> wrote: > > > > > Hi Kang, > > > > > > This will probably be either because you are not in the directory > of > > > the fineract-provider.war file or the webapp directory is not > > > /usr/share/tomcat8/webapps/ > > > though it appears the file is not present so if you run "find / -name > > > fineract-provider.war" it should give you the correct location to copy > > > from.
