Hi,
I am new to OpenEMR, and see it as a possible way forward after a several bouts with paid billers!  I need some advice:
Will this suffice as a billing software for a 1 doctor Psychiatry practice?
Is it prudent to host it on a web host (siteground)?

I am hoping the answers to my questions above are yes’s: So, after following the linux installation giude I reach the login page:
http://www.myhost.net/openemr-3.2.0/interface/login/login_frame.php where I get the following error:

_404 - Not Found
The page you are trying to access does not exist.
If this error persists, please contact the website webmaster.
_

I added a test.html file into http://www.myhost.net/openemr-3.2.0/ and after changing its permissions to 755 I was able to see it. I noticed that all files in …/openemr-3.3.2/ were under the permission 644, so I changed it to 755

But still the 404 error persists!

Your advice and suggestions are greatly apperciated

Thank You

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?  I am having the exact same issue on new install of version 4.0.0 with web host powweb.com.  My installation is www.domain.com/openemr/

I had absolutely no error during install!

Thanks,

Kyle

hi kbreezy007 -

Often that “404” error is from the $web_root or $webserver_root not being detected properly. You can manually set them in interface/globals.php.

I hope it helps.

I am having the same problem. Install went perfect but no login page. I have tried everything, including deleting all the databases and flipping back and forth to Windows hosting, setup just get’s a white screen with Windows version, and back to Linux at Godaddy.
http://mcsystemsonline/openemr/admin shows the database but I click on Login and get a  404 error.

If I modify the login url tohttp://mcsystemsonline.com/openemr/interface/login/login.php
I get to log in but the layout is missing all it’s formatting and the left side navigation always yields another 404 error

And that login result is only available if Andy’s \interface\globals.php suggestion is Not taken.

I fixed it!!
I was the damn semicolons, one at the end of each line, when hard coded as in the snippet below….

// The webserver_root and web_root are now automatically collected in
//  real time per above code. If above is not working, can uncomment and
//  set manually here:
$webserver_root ="/home/content/f/r/a/ftp-user-name/html/openemr";
$web_root ="/openemr";
//
Well at least now I can say I custom coded it :wink:
“I had to correct a little bit of the developer’s code to get it to work with your SQL server”
Or something like that.
