Issues after changing XAMPP drive

OpenEMR Development
1

Hi…
I am on openemr 5.0.1 on windows 10 using xampp. Initially, I had my xampp on C drive (drive containing the windows) but I want to change my xampp/htdocs folder to be in D drive. I have changed the “DocumentRoot” to “D://xampp/htdocs” in httpd.conf file in apache folder of xampp in the C drive and restarted apache.

I have copied over the openemr files (the full htdocs folder) to the D drive.

when I go to localhost/openemr, the login screen appears but as I log in with my username and password, I can see multiple site ID is missing from session data at various places.

What do I need to change in openemr file to be able to run it smoothly???

There’s a batch file in the xampp directory that resets the directories and drives (assuming you are using Windows). Setup_xampp.bat

I don’t think you have to do anything but put the entire xampp file on the D drive and run the xampp control from there and start apache and mysql. Then localhost/openemr will run on your browser.

Hi @arnabnaha,
For changing the DocumentRoot and Directory follow the steps below,

1.Open the file httpd.conf from the location C:/xampp/apache/conf
2.Search for DocumentRoot and you will get something like this

              DocumentRoot “C:/xampp/htdocs”

Update the DocumentRoot to new location. For example, if you want to update the DocumentRoot to D:/www , then you will have the following line after updating the location

              DocumentRoot  “D:/www”

3.Then find the Directory and you will fine something similar to

              <Directory “C:/xampp/htdocs”>

Update it to new location like this

             <Directory “D:/www”>

4.Then finally restart the Apache server using XAMPP control panel or manually.

See if these steps help resolve your issue.

Thanks,
