Provide here the password that you set during installation. We set dhis@2022 as password.

Note: If the password doesn’t work, click on the reset password button and set the same password. See the pgAdmin Dashboard:

So far, we have completed the Java, Tomcat and PostgreSQL installation. Out next step will be to create database for our local server.

5.1 Click on the Login/ Group Roles and create the following roles:

Set password for the role as ‘dhis’ and click on the Save button:

Click on the Privileges and allow all of the access:

5.2 Now we will create a new database ‘dhis2’ by right click on the Databases:

Database name: dhis2
Owner: dhis (just select from the dropdown)

Click on the save button.

5.3 Now we will create ‘postgis’ extension:

Select the extension name from the dropdown and click on the save button.

For now, we have finished the database part of the DHIS2 instance setup. Now we need some configuration of the installed software’s.

6.1 Environment variable set: Right click on The PC and click on Properties:

1. Click on the Advanced system setting 
2. Environment variables 
3. Add user variable as "JRE_HOME"
   A. Variable: JRE_HOME
   B. Value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_311\bin 
4. Add System variable as “DHIS2_HOME” and value as “C:\DHIS2” and make sure to create the same directory under C drive. 
5. Add System variable as “JAVA_OPTS” as set the value as “-Xms7500m -Xmx7500m -XX:PermSize=2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m”
6. Update System variable "Path". Edit it and paste the Java path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_311\bin"

Note: Please double check your Java installation directory. 

6.2 DHIS2 Configuration file: copy the following code and save it as ‘dhis.conf’ at the directory “C\:DHIS2”.

 
# Hibernate SQL dialect
connection.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
# JDBC driver class
connection.driver_class = org.postgresql.Driver
# Database connection URL
connection.url = jdbc:postgresql:dhis2
# Database username
connection.username = dhis
# Database password
connection.password = dhis
# Database schema behavior, can be validate, update, create, create-drop
connection.schema = update

# Encryption password (sensitive)
 encryption.password = abcd

Note: Don’t save this file as .txt or config it should be .conf. 

Now we will move to the final step for the DHIS2 war file deployment.

7.1 Copy the dhis2 war file from your downloaded directory and rename it as ‘dhis.war’ and paste it under the following directory where the Apache is installed:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\webapps

7.2 Now run the Tomcat

• Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\bin
• Right click and run as administrator: 

You can see the following window:

For the war file deployment, it will take a few moment. Wait until the following screen is appeared.

Note: If you encounter any error you can see here.

7.3 Run the tomcat: Right click on the Tomcat9w and run as administrator:

Start the Tomcat:

Now, open your browser and type following address: 

• Localhost:8080/dhis
