Hey guys,
I am looking for some advice on patching 4.0. The first “release” is about a week away, and I hope to take advantage of it.
My 4.0 files on my active install are dated FEB 9. I have attempted several methods of wiping out the openemr directory, replacing the documents, edi/era directories etc… and running on the new files, I wind up with a new database. I have tried changing the setup bool from 0 to 1 and it leaves me with either the new database, or being unable to connect “make sure mysqldb.exe is running”. I have THOUGHT I had the correct passwords and such, but perhaps I am just the idiot I was raised to be.
I have tried to use a file merge utility to update versions, but the darn thing keeps locking up (too many files). What is the “real” way to patch a file set?
OK, I guess I have not been getting my sqlconf.php right. I also thought there MIGHT be some changes to the DB structure since February, but I guess not, Ja? If not, then I imagine I have worked everything out and can proceed to altering some of the files I have customized from previous versions….
Also,
If you can learn git, then managing your customizations (to avoid needing to manually enter them whenever you upgrade your code) should be much easier.
