Connection Reset when saving Global Settings

Management and Administration
,
#1

I am in the process of installing OpenEMR on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 VM following these instructions:
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_5.0.2_Linux_Installation.
I made it to the OpenEMR 5.0.2 MU2 Install Instructions (https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_5.0.2_MU2_Install_Instructions) but I am not able to save the settings. When I click save, I receive a “The connection was reset” error.
Here’s a screenshot of the issue with the console open:

Here’s a screenshot of my apache error log:
oemr2
oemr21744×164 16.7 KB

My current setup is as follows:
Ubuntu 18.04 VM (2 cores, 2 GB Ram)
Apache - 2.4
PHP - 7.2
MYSQL - 5.7
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

hi @mciadmin, can you save any globals?

Hi Stephen,
Unfortunately, no. None of the settings are saving.

what are the permissions of the documents directory

ls -lrt sites/default/documents

a little too permissive, no? :slight_smile:

try to find something more substantial in the error logs, first configure php
https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_are_the_correct_PHP_settings_.28can_be_found_in_the_php.ini_file.29.3F

    error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT

then restart apache2 and try to save globals and look in the error log

Very permissive indeed. Haven’t made it to to the permissions yet.
I am not seeing any errors at all.
This is the php settings:

These are the configs:

Here’s the error log:

Ok, thanks, have you installed the first patch? https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_Patches

Yes,
I was able to install the 1st patch.

Well,
It’s working now. Here’s what I did:

  1. Deleted the openemr directory from /var/www/html/
  2. Re-downloaded the openemr-5.0.2.tar.gz file and extracted it again.
  3. Performed all installation steps without adjusting any configuration (I left the previous configuration untouched).
    a. Selected “I have already created the database” and entered the previous credentials.
  4. It worked.
