You may also need to add an entry to your domain registrar for those settings to work. ---

I cant get anything from your comment,please help out. @fsgl, thanks boss. I already have a hosting account. Now, what do i do? Is there a download file for openemr demo just like the main openemr file,where i can download and upload as a subdomain to my hosting account or is it the regular openemr 4.1.2 file that will be uploaded to hosting with some tweaking to make it appear as a demo?

You will have to ask Brady, [brady@sparmy.com](mailto:brady@sparmy.com), how to reset the demo to resuscitate it periodically. Visitors will do wacky things to the demo. If there is no access to the command-line, resetting would be impossible on a hosted site. I think Brady keeps the Demo’s on VM’s from his own server. ---

Apache has the ability to serve multiple domains from a single server by using a mechanism called 'virtual hosts'. If a virtual host is configured correctly for each... From a security perspective, I’d recommend not sharing your OpenEMR production server with your OpenEMR demo server. So, in that case, you’d instead send your two different domain names to two separate IP addresses(ie. two different servers). -brady ---

The demos are basically automatically built from scratch (starting with a blank Ubuntu Virtual Appliance) via a script and they use the standard OpenEMR packages/codebase. Thus, there is nothing special about the demos (they are the same as a standard install), except some of the demos have example data in them. -brady [OpenEMR](http://www.open-emr.org/) ---

A Ubuntu Virtual Appliance boots up and downloads the demo\_farm\_openemr repository. 2. The demo\_build.sh script is then run on the Appliance that downloads/installs OpenEMR. 3. Note that the ip\_map\_branch.txt script in the repository is the “brain” and uses the IP address of the Appliance to decide what version of OpenEMR is downloaded/installed along with other settings and test data. Hope this helps to clarify things. -brady [OpenEMR](http://www.open-emr.org/) ---
