Hi, when I tried to run the docker image I got the following. Any ideas?

WARN - OpenmrsUtil.getDirectoryInApplicationDataDirectory(1284) |2015-02-16 11:36:54,439| '/var/lib/OpenMRS' doesn't exist.  Creating directories now.

I was able to reproduce your error but it had no effect on OpenMRS starting up. Go to the url http://192.168.59.103:8080/openmrs/ and you should see your application running.

Please let me know if your problem still exists or not so I can close the issue.

Ah ok, I see. If I navigate to the web app all appears to be working.
