I followed https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Getting+Started+Quickly in order to get a test environment up, including adding myself as a subject as in the example. The environment (so far) consists of 2 Debian boxes – one for MySQL, the other for Apache/Tomcat with the API and UI. I did not import any quickstart data.

I noticed that the Admin UI was not displaying my information (for example, when exploring etc.sysadmingroup, there was a checkbox followed by “is a direct member” without displaying my name)

In addition, the Lite UI would fail to launch and the browser would display a popup with an “error[object XMLHttpRequest]”. grouper_error.log contained:
