Actually 5.2.0 is pretty old, and does not support namespaces, which is required for the eSign API. There may actually be problems even if eSign is disabled.
Recommend at least PHP 5.3, but that version is pretty old too, and is technically already “End of Life.”

That’s what I was worried about.
Challenge I have is laptop to show doctors openEMR was set up beautifuly gorgeous.
Computer crashed lost everything. Windows operating system.
Got the computer back tried the xampp-openEMR install port 80 was taken but installed the Apache 4 can’t find the path to mySQL
PHP is tricky you have to get the right version to work with Apache.
Long story short is there a way to uninstall a service like Apache 4 so I can re-install like in the Control Panel -> Services can you unintall the Apache 4.

Sounds like there is no backup to restore. CVerk’s backup script for Windows works well.
Wouldn’t it be easier to reinstall the XAMPP-OpenEMR package and use PrintaPatient to generate patient data instead of trying to reconfigure the components?

Yes that is exactly what I’m going to have to do.

CVerk’s script, so you won’t have to go through all this grief next time the laptop goes belly up.
Macrium Reflect freeware to save a system image. Easier to use than Clonzilla for a dual-boot of Windows/Linux or just plain old Windows. Windows PE Rescue disk works better than the Linux Rescue disk. Image or restore everything in about 30 minutes for each task. (Sounds like an advertisement for Macrium.)

Thanks Brother.
I finally got everything installed with the Xampp openEMR package.
I used a great free tool called TCPView to see who was using the ports
then I used from the command line
sc delete mysql (name of the service)
to delete the service from the service window.
Thanks for all your help were back in business.

Good that it was relatively painless.
