Hi,
I am trying to test out a custom post url on CommCare. I have set both the
PostURL and PostTestURL tags in the application profile as follows:
<property key="PostURL" value="
http://173.201.25.111:8080/openmrs/module/xforms/xformDataUpload.form?uname=admin&pw=Opendtree1"
force="true"/>
The application errors out on the startup screen with the "There was an
error. CommCare could not be started." error message. The log file shows the
following:
java.lang.RuntimeException[No external or local definition could be found
for resource commcare-application-profile]
I'm pretty sure that the PostURLs are the issue since the application worked
just fine when they were still set to data.commcarehq.org.
I have attached program and rms files, and the profile.
thanks!

Hi Jonathan,
Clayton would know better, but I'm 95% sure that the issue is trying
to post to port 8080. Don't think it works to put it inline with the
URL like that. Anyway you can have apache (or IIS or whatever
webserver you have available) forward requests from port 80 to Tomcat
on 8080?
Also, I assume you'll change your password before anything goes out in
the field? It's unlikely that anything would happen, but this is a
publicly viewable forum and passwords have a tendency not to change
once they're in code out in the wild...

Jon and Brian,
I think that 8080 should work like this. I posted with an old version of
CommCare to one of Andy Kanter's OpenMRS servers with a url with a port in
the HTTP address.
I'm not actually sure what's breaking here. It's absolutely failing to parse
the profile file because of some issue with the URL, but the error doesn't
really make a lot of sense. I'll check it out and get back to you.

Figured it out, can't believe I didn't see it sooner.
You can't have ampersand characters in XML attributes unenforced, because
they are the escape character for attribute encoding.
You need to replace each '&' character with
&
As in:

Good catch Clayton. Maybe ODK had/has this problem of not being able
to submit to a url with an embedded port?
Anyway, great that it works here.

Can't believe I didn't catch the ampersand either! The application now opens
without error.
