Hello,
Could someone please explain to me how to do a system restore for OpenEMR 4.2.02 from a backup file on Ubuntu.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike
Backup the OpenEMR instance usig OpenEMR’s buildin tool. Your backup will have two files, openemr.sql.gz and openemr.tar.gz. Extract and copy the openemr.tar.gz file into openemr folder. Drop the database used and create a new one. Extract openemr.sql.gz file and import that into the new database using the command
mysql -u root -p{mysql password} openemr < openemr.sql
This will restore your openemr instance. You can also try the steps in this link.
Thanks

In running the restore script, note that the OpenEMR database password is distinct from the MySQL root password.
If the MySQL root password was never set, it is not necessary to supply it, either in restore script or in the import command above.
If it had been set, but forgotten, the Wiki article has a link to a mini-tutorial for resetting it.
Best of luck. Hopefully the record search will result in a quick & easy resolution of the matter.
