Hello James,  
Thanks for the help. I follow these two instructions but at the end I have “404 erreur”.  
I use Ubuntu 19.04.

A few things that are troublesome:  
– make sure you’re using Java 8 (jdk or jre)  
– make sure DHIS2 looks for the set environment variables by including “-E” when starting your instance. e.g “sudo -E CATALINA\_HOME/bin/startup.sh”  
if you don’t, it’ll look for dhis.conf in /opt/dhis/  
– check that postgres is running with “/etc/inid.t/postgres status” if it’s not running then do “sudo /etc/inid.t/postgres start”
