FreeB problems

I created an init script for freeb on Gentoo. When I use it or start freeb the FreeB_Server.pl script gets called. The "before server setup" appears and then the console stops responding. If I check processes, there is a FreeB_Server.pl running. Is it locked up in the Frontier::Daemon new function? How can I tell? Does anyone else have this issue?

I log in as Admin, go to billing, select a date, select a couple of items, queue HCFA, start batch processing, respond ok to the dialog box, view log, and I get the following…

Not Found
The requested URL /openemr/library/freeb/process_bills.log was not found on this server.

This isn’t directly answering your first question, but to get around it, I just run the process in the background. I had the same problem with the mandriva init script ( http://bradymd.com/freeb ), and got around it by running the process in background( added ‘&’).

Regarding your second question, there’s good debugging instruction to ensure you have all the proper dependencies at:
http://www.oemr.org/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=FreebInstall

The one thing, in Mandriva at least, to get freeb to work from OpenEMR was ‘cp /usr/bin/php4 /usr/bin/php’ .

According to the link you posted regarding the FreebInstall, all the dependencies are installed.

on the system it has a symlink for php

/usr/bin/php -> /usr/lib64/php5/bin/php

This is for a medicare and cash only practice. Is FreeB necessary to post billing data into SQLedger?

No, freeb is only useful for billing insurance.
