Can OpenEMR be installed direct under the root of www like /var/www/ instead of /var/www/openemr ?

Sure. Or you could accomplish the same thing by setting Apache’s DocumentRoot to /var/www/openemr.

yes you can, although it is a better admnin practice to set it in a dedicated directory, (you’ll never know what else you’ll be doing)
that directory can be placed wherever you want in the system,
i.e. it can be under /usr/share/openemr or /usr/local/openerm
and you can have either an apache alias pointing there, or a symbolic link on /var/www/
ez way if you want default access to /var/www/openemr
you can do
ln -s /var/www/openemr/index.php /var/www/index.php

Thnx guys, one other question, which version of OpenEMR do you advice I use 2.8.0 or the 2.8.1 version?

Latest is best. You can get it via anonymous CVS as described at https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=60081 assuming that is working today.

I successfully installed openmed on a server (with Rod’s help, thanks!). I have been trying to do the same on my XP professional pc in a server environment using PHPdev. All files are under c:/phpdev and I installed openmed in www/openmed. I am receiving an error suggesting that my web server root iss not correct (globals.php). I had the same problem with the web server install and with Rod’s suggestion I corrected that information and everything is working fine.
The problem is that I am not sure what is the equivalent of my webserver root on the XP pc running phpdev. Can someone help me here?

I have installed openEMR v2.8.0 on fedora core 4. If I go to http://localhost/openemr/interface/login/login_frame.php I do see login prompt. it is just a blank screen.

How may I fix the problem?

regards,

I tried installing OpenEMR version 2.8.1. everything seemed to work well…except when I want to open the login page. it somehow thinks the object is not available. I can’t even open it from Dreamweaver. it gives an invalid path found or something like that. notepad++ seemed to open it fine. but from apache I just can’t get it to open the login_frame.php.

it would be great if somebody can throw some light on the problem.

I installed the XAMPP version of apache, php & mysql.

thanks.

Dear Newemruser,

We need a lot more information.

What version of Windows are you using? Be specific like Windows XP prefessional.

What version of OpenEMR?

What version of PHP?

MySQL?

A lot of the stock versions of XAMPP comes with PHP 5.

OpenEMR 2.8.1 only works with PHP 4.

What error message are you getting?

Are you accessing OpenEMR through the web browser?

The URL should be something like:

http://localhost/openemr/

Have you already run the setup program?

http://localhost/openemr/setup.php

In Windows your need to make sure that the Windows IIS server is shut down or you won’t be able to access the http://localhost/openemr/setup.php
