Hi!

Have any of you installed Openemr in ubuntu server with no GUI. If so, please let me know how to do this. I have a setup with 1 desktop running Ubuntu server ver 8.04 with another Desktop running Ubuntu Desktop ver 8.04.

Thanks for any help

Hey there,         Just curious, why do you have two pcs with one running as a server? I mean why not have the two pcs networked by a cross over lan cable? I use two workstations networked this way with one workstation acting as an OPENEMR server in my practise using Ubuntu 8.04.

Hi Riaz,

I am a beginner to Linux and I wanted to learn all aspects of Ubuntu. So when I saw there were 2 versions of Ubuntu 8.04, I decided to install both versions in separate machines.

Are you saying you cannot install OpenEMR on the Ubuntu Server? Please confirm
this. If that is the case, then I can go ahead and install it in the workstation. Please tell me how you installed it in the workstation. Where did you get the distro? Did you use the apt-get to install it?

Thanks

Mani

Hi Guys

I am just jumping in here to direct you to the wiki at oemr.org for detailed instructions for installing Openemr on Ubuntu be it desktop or server.  Hope that helps!

I saw 3 packages to download and didn’t which one to download. Also I only know to install using apt-get and haven’t figured out a way to install tar or gzip packages yet. Do I add that file to sources.list and get it to install that way?

TIA

I was able to install in Ubuntu server using the wiki page. It appears several of the packages are already installed. Line dpkg -i libset_scalar* did not work.
Still I was able to start openemr. On page 4 of wiki, when you edit globals.php file it ask the webroot to remain as "openemr" but it should have been  "/openemr".

When you do the setup for the first time, it asks you to provide some info and passwords. I changed the group name from default to kcc. I think this got me in some trouble later on. So I had to go back on redo the setup step and change the group back to default.

I am still having problems with appointments. But overall I am very happy with the progress I have made.

Thanks
