Hello,
I need to navigate or advice.
I have already installed and configured OpenEMR on my Laptot ( localhost). I would like to move ( copy ) whoel installation to another machine ( same name od user, myql password, same database name).
Of course a made database backup by mysqldump ( this part is clear for me)
But I have already done many adjustments of forms, report templates , styles…
Will be possible only copy /var/www/html/openemr folder between machines ??? and use it ??

thank for your advice
Dr. Tomas

Copying & pasting the web directory should work, provided that the version of OpenEMR on both devices is the same.

If the web directory is in var/www, then another option is restoring emr_backup.tar to the second device.

Please do feedback.

If you are moving OpenEMR to another device with the same operating system, a system image would even be easier than copy/paste + mysqldump.
