Hi Dan,
Thanks for getting back to me - not 100% sure if this is what you mean - but when trying to launch the EV it seems to stop here:

If a newer version of 2.26 would address the issue, should I also expect that it would be resolved in 2.29 also?
Thanks,

Can you share what request is being made from your browser debugging console?
There were changes made to Tomcat to correct a CVE wherein disallowed characters were being accepted when they shouldn’t be, specifically the “|” character. You may have to upgrade to a more recent revision of 2.26 when DHIS 2 was updated to no longer expect disallowed characters.
The Tomcat commit can be found here https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62273

Hi Folks,
I have deployed DHIS2 v2.26 (but I am seeing this same issue seen on v2.29) on an AWS EC2 t2.medium instance running Ubuntu v16.04.
The build went fine and I can log into the system with the default account and was also able to restore an old psql dump I need work on (dump was taken on a v2.26 system).
I’m experiencing an issue with both the dashboard and when trying to launch the event visualizer.
The dashboard does not render anything and the EV looks as though it just hangs after launching.
The catalina.out log shows the following entry each time I attempt to switch between the dashboard and the EV:

I searched online and it seems to indicate an issue with the requestTargetAllow
property in catalina.properties - see the following thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41053653/tomcat-8-is-not-able-to-handle-get-request-with-in-query-parameters/44005213#44005213
I’ve updated catalina.properties as described, stopped the tomcat service, reloaded the daemon and started again but I get the same issue.
I believe the psql dump file is good and the restore when ok, because the same archive and restore process on a DHIS2-LIVE local version (2.29) works as expected.
Has anyone experienced the same or a similar issue?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Many thanks,
Kevin
