Troubleshooting medic API that's failing

Hello All

I am trying to understand why medic-api fails during set up.(using the formal documentation)

Logs & Screenshot
open ports

Logs error-ssl.log

Browser page

I have tried :

  • Creating images of working containers and using these images to build new containers

  • Starting the medic-api within container

Environment

  • Browser: Chrome
  • Client platform: MacOS
  • App: api
  • Version: 3.7.0, 3.9.0

Hi @atria

Could you please check medic-api logs to see if there’s an obvious error there? You could refer to How do I get the medic-api logs when using Docker? for information about how to get logs.

Thanks!

@atria - I believe you’re following the local setup steps which have you running docker compose to startup the CHT. Medic has published a docker compose helper which might solve your issues.

@diana’s suggestion about the logs will still apply if you get stuck after trying the helper script.

Hi @diana

There is nothing in the medic-api logs just the medic-core logs

@diana I do have logs for an instance where the API is failing after a server restart

It seems that your installation is missing a required dependency xsltproc, which is used to generate xmls for forms.

I do have logs for an instance where the API is failing after a server restart

It’s not clear if these are logs from the same instance being discussed in the original post or not.

There is nothing in the medic-api logs just the medic-core logs

If API never started in this case, I suggest checking the links that @mrjones has provided.
