Debian Etch/Lenny Installation of OpenEMR

With help and encouragement from Rod Roark of Sunset Systems, I have put together detailed instructions on how to set up a Debian/Etch installation of OpenEMR.  It includes OpenEMR, SQL-Ledger, SSL, phpGACL.  With the 2.8.3 version of OpenEMR (or the cvs development version) it does the following:

Electronic medical records

Scheduling/Calendar

Patient accounting, billing.

Primary and secondary X12 electronic billing through clearinghouse and, with tweaking, directly to Blue Shield or Medicare.

Secure browser based connections using https:// SSL connections.

Access control that allows customized permissions for different classes of users.

With FreeB (I’m working on instructions for that.) you should be able to print CMS1500 (new version of HCFA1500 forms).

This is on the http://www.oemr.org wiki under installation instructions / debianinstall

I put up Debian installation instructions for OpenEMR, SQL-Ledger, phpGACL, SSL, FreeB and for the most part it is working properly.  However, I am embarrassed to report that it still has a couple of glitches.  I am even tempted to take it off the wiki until it is perfect.  However, for now it is there and almost right.

I’d like to edit my post to give accurate instructions.  I suspect the fixes are something minor.  Does anybody have a clue what is wrong?

Go to:

http://www.oemr.org/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=DebianInstall&back=OpenEmrInstallHowtos

Here are the errors

1.  pdf files of HCFA 1500 insurance claims are coming up empty.

2.  When creating X12 claims, I get this message:

Fault: Code: 4 Reason ‘error executing RPC `ezybiz.add_invoice’. failed to execute insert into parts queryERROR: invalid input syntax for type double precision: “” ’

Can anybody help me figure out how to put plain text into the http://www.oemr.org wiki?

I am trying to put up installation instructions, and the editor seems to have a mind of its own.  It often interprets what would be html or php code and deletes lines or sections and it’s driving me crazy.  All I really want to do is have what I type show up as text.

The problem must have been a minor error or typo.  When I went back through my instructions and did it again from scratch I did not have the problem.
