Hi Raj Kishore,

You can not use XAMPP to Ubuntu machine. You need to apache2 server for Ubuntu machine to install OpenEMR. Please refer below link to install OpenEMR on Ubuntu machine.

https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_5.0.2_Ubuntu-Debian_Package_Installation

Let me know if you have any problem to install.

Thanks,

Hi Nilesh,

Thanks for your response. I just got rid of XAMPP. I installed LAMP stack, each components separately. Here is the configuration:
Apache Version Apache/2.4.38 (Ubuntu)
PHP Version 7.2.19-0ubuntu0.19.04.2
MySQL Version: 5.7.27-0ubuntu0.19.04.1 (Ubuntu)
openemr-5.0.2 GitHub - rajkis/openemr: OpenEMR is the most popular open source electronic health records and medical practice management solution. ONC certified with international usage, OpenEMR's goal is a superior alternative to its proprietary counterparts.

After all the efforts finally I am able to run openemr on my machine. Thanks.

Regards,
Raj

hi @Nilesh_Hake ,
Do note the 5.0.2 ubuntu/debian package has not been released yet (still working out package bugs that cropped up in 18.04). So, need to install 5.0.2 on ubuntu like any other linux installation for now.
