Hi Everyone.

I’m really in urgent need of help in setting up the offsite patient portal.
I’m currently running OpenEMR version 4.2.2 on a Windows 10 Machine.
I’ve followed the instructions on the portal Wiki, but it seems it is outdated.

I’ve installed the VPN, but I keep getting the error message any time I go over to “Check Connection” in the Portal Activity page:

  1. Check Offsite UserName And Password Stored In Administration->Globals->Portal
  2. Enable soap extenion in php.ini file
  3. Check Your Domain Name Or IP Address (OpenEMR should host in a static IP Or Dedicated Domain Name. Patient Portal Not Support localhost or internal IP)
  4. Check your site ID(Patient portal registed site folder and openemr site folder should be same.)

I’m sure I’m missing something that’s not in the instructions, and I would really appreciate a walk through of the most recent setup process.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
