I have installed another sample war file for testing on the same server which is working properly.

Hi @Abhijit_Patil

Welcome to the community! :tada:

Sorry, you mean you were able to start dhis2 in the same Ubuntu server and everything worked well but for this war file, the issue appears?

Did you try to restart the system after the installation?

Are there more logs to share please? The full Catalina.out (without sensitive info)

I have tried some other java sample war file to check tomcat9 is working or not? we found other projects war file is working in our tomcat9 only DHIS2 is showing http status 404 error

Please find catalina.out as follows

Hello @Abhijit_Patil first can you edit the dhis.conf to this line

connection.schema = dhis2

and put the following
connection.schema = update

restart the tomcat and see the result
