Appliance 4.1.1 for Virtual machines

Brady, it could…….  it did give the error of appliance file 3.xxxxx was not found  (on both XP machines). But it is there in the same directory as all the other files of the unzipped Appliance OpenEMR, mentioned under the same name as the file not found!.

Yesterday I got “a” version, one of the many versions of one of the three computers working under Windos XP VMPlayer version 4, since VMPlayer 5 can not be installed under Windows XP!

Could it be that an OpenEMR Appliance saved under VMPlayer 5 is not working under VMPLayer 4?

This weekend I will give it a try. If this is the problem, I think I have to downgrade the VMPlayer5 under to VMPLayer4. From what I read VMPlayer 4 also is fit for Win7, but probably more security risk or slower or whatever…….

VMPlayer4 does give by default the option of working under a expanded screen and also expands the Appliance screen, by streching the corner of the Player.

I would appreciate your thoughts on this!

In time there might be another HELP & TRICS Appliance-OpenEMR-note on XP and Win7

Tnx, Pimm

I have had OpenEMR Appliance successfully installed on my laptop at home (https://127.0.0.0.1/openemr). However, ran into a networking problem the other day when trying it in a coffee shop:

  • Browser times out when my Laptop got a different IP address in that location.
  • I tried it again at home, and it worked.
  • Then, disabled my laptop’s Wireless LAN, and browser tiemd out again.
  • Connected the wired LAN and manually assigned same IP address to it, still NOT working.

So, it looks like, OpenEMR Appliance only works under same LAN environment under which it is installed. I changed VMWare’s network configuration setting, and still not working.

Hi Ramin,

Can you clarify how it is working on your laptop at home? Are you accessing it via https://127.0.0.0.1/openemr from your laptop operating system (ie. the host system) or from within the appliance itself(ie. the guest system)?

I should mention not drop the table.sql files for those forms since they are not installed by default (which is unlike the example I posted above).

Problem solved.

My 1st installation of OpenEMR Appliance must have been defective by assigning 127.0.0.1 address which is the Loopback localhost address. Yes, it worked on that specific laptop at https://127.0.0.0.1/openemr.

I reinstalled a fresh Appliance after manually upgrading the downloaded VMWare. This time the assigned address was 192.168.14.205 which was then copied on USB thumb drive. I verified that the Appliance successfully runs on 2 other PC’s.

Brady,

there should be an option to delete the posts that are your own posts. In the past I did many wrong posts and would love to have had the option of deleting my own posts. Can I ask for this extra option for SF Forum?

Hi Pimm,

Feel free to ask sourceforge for new options. One of the reasons they forced all projects to convert to this new format was so they could spend their resources improving this.
