Hi @dmbantu
Thank you for the interest and sharing with the community. These change as the platforms, infrastructures, and software changes. Sometimes it’s not using the correct versions, sometimes there are compatibility issues or wrong settings in the configuration files, and authorization and file access is sometimes a common one; however, if we were to create a document with all the current pitfalls, it will soon be outdated as the technology changes.
Are you working on installing a new DHIS2 instance? Would you like to share more technical details about the installation such as OS (Windows/Linux…) and infrastructure as well as software environment including the versions?
My best advice when it comes to avoiding pitfalls is making sure to follow the recommendations, monitoring the system as well as keeping the software up to date. Follow the exact installation instructions in the docs: Manual install on Ubuntu - DHIS2 Documentation
I hope this helps. Have you installed a DHIS2 instance?
