Title: Re: [Mifos-users] FW: Help with configuration?
Dropping 'pending approval' has historically been error prone in Mifos. I don't think that option was ever really debugged. We at SEM tried and gave up. I haven't been watching this issue recently, so I could be wrong about current versions. You might revisit Issue # 2091 and the following two threads from the Developer's List (predating the existence of the User's List):

Sorry, I wanted to clarify what I was talking about below.  You should run those SQL commands that are identified in the configuration instructions on a fresh instance of the mifos database BEFORE you start mifos for the first time on that db.

Leah,

Looking at the log it looks like the primary proplem you are having is with the Client Pending Approval option in the configuration file.  Did you try running the database workaround identified in the configuration instructions?

I suspect that what you might need to do is load a fresh copy of the Mifos database and then run each of those SQL commands identified in the config instructions in regards to changing the approval processes.  I would then make sure you are doing that for each of those approval changes you are making as the one error we are seeing may just be the first one Mifos runs into before stopping (so if you fix just that one, it will then trigger the next one)

Let us know how it works out.

Oh, and as an aside, I am interested to know why you are removing all the approval steps?  

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your help. In response to your questions:

1. When we put the original configuration file in place, Mifos starts successfully.

2. I removed the pending approvals before running the database - we started from a fresh database (at least I think that's what we did - stopped tomcat, dropped the database, then installed mifos again).

3. I've copied the log below. Is this what you're looking for? If I understand it correctly, it looks like I need to change the pending approval part like you mentioned. If I change the approvals back to default, should it work?

Thanks!

Leah

Hello Leah,

Forwarding this to the user’s group as I figure more people can benefit from
troubleshooting this issue.

A few questions
1. When you remove the configuration file, does Mifos start successfully?
2. I noticed that you removed a lot of the pending approvals.  As noted in
the file there remain some issues with these features.  Did you turn these
on after running the database an initial time? Have you tried starting from
a database that's fresh?
3. Lastly, looking at some of the log files should help.  If you look in the
directory where you started mifos, there should be a mifos log file.  Look
at that and see if there is an error that corresponds to when you start
tomcat and post it here.  You can also look in the logs directory of tomcat.

Let us know,
Ryan

Subject: Help with configuration?

Hi Ryan,

I spent some time working with mifos, only to realize that we needed to
reconfigure some of the settings - like the rounding decimal places, etc.
Our volunteer developer walked me through it over the phone, but I'm afraid
I messed up because mifos won't open when I use the configuration document I
edited (I get the "HTTP Status 404 - the requested resource () is not
available" message).

Our developer is now on vacation and I'm stuck. Is there any way you could
review the configuration document and see what I did wrong? I'd really
appreciate any help you can send my way!

Thanks so much.

Sincerely,

Leah
