My IT company has recently acquired a medical office using OpenEMR version 2.5.0. They are in deserate need for an upgrade, which the previous IT company failed to install int he past. They would like to upgrade to 3.0.1. What is the best possible way to perform this upgrade? I have installed EMR previously for them when their server crashed so I am a little familiar with it.
If this is not the right forum for this type of problem, please let me know where I can recieve the correct assistance for installation. Thanks
The "help" forum is best for this type of question. "Developers" is intended for matters concerning OpenEMR software development.
Anyway, 2.5.0 pre-dates the known upgrade paths (they start with 2.6.0), so I would suggest having an experienced OpenEMR consultant take a look at it. If you want to brave it yourself you might look at the INSTALL file from the distribution which has some upgrading tips, and then proceed as if you are upgrading from 2.6.0 and see what happens.
Of course, first make sure you have a backup and have successfully tested the restore procedure. It’s probable that your initial upgrade attempt will fail.
