Hi, Vishwas. Prior to exchanging email with you on April 8th, I had tried
using a variety of default passwords for the Mifos X community app, once I
got my install working. I had tried password, password1, admin, (blank),
and so on, as well as a variety of user names.
Once you confirmed the default is mifos/password, I triple-checked my
spelling, caps lock, etc., but was still not able to log in.
I then tried deleting the tables from the database, so that Mifos would
recreate them when the application first opens, but the problem persisted.
I deleted and recreated the entire database just to be sure, but that also
did not work. I tried other common troubleshooting steps as well, such as
restarting the browser, restarting MySQL, restarting my computer, etc.
I was not able to work on this problem last week due to other
responsibilities. Then, today, I got up early to look into this further,
prior to our bi-weekly documentation team meeting.
I finally solved the problem. Working from the default community app URL
given on the technical install
md<https://github.com/openMF/mifosx/blob/develop/INSTALL.md>...
https://[server ip address]:8443/community-app?baseApiUrl=https://[server
ip address]:8443/mifosng-provider/api/v1/
... I realized that I had replaced the FIRST "[server ip address]" with
"localhost". However. I had NOT replaced the SECOND "[server ip address]".
Once I replaced the 2nd with "localhost", I was able to log into the
community app successfully.
It only took me a few minutes to solve this problem today. I feel a bit
dense for missing this simple fix when I worked on this last. At the same
time, this is a type of problem that end users may have, so perhaps it is a
good experience for me to go through. :-)
I also wanted to mention the error message I received, when I still had
"[server ip address]" for the 2nd spot in the URL. After I entered "mifos"
for the user name and "password" for the password, the following text
appeared, just to the left of the user name input box: "Please try again,
your credentials are not valid."
This is obviously an inaccurate error message, as the problem from the end
user perspective was not the password, but the invalid baseApiUrl variable
in the querystring. We will document the correct procedure for changing of
the URL, as clearly as possible, in the installation instructions. But, if
it is an appropriate use of developer resources, it would be preferable to
capture the occurrence of an invalid baseApiUrl, and then give the end user
a corresponding message indicating that fact. This would have saved me
some time and hassle personally, so it may also help Mifos X users in the
future.
Anyway, thanks for your assistance with the process of getting my own Mifos
X install running! I appreciate the help.
Regards,
Todd
