Is taking me to https://[site]./logout instead of https://[site]/portal/logout
The issue you’re describing — being redirected to https://[site]./logout instead of https://[site]/portal/logout — is most likely caused by a malformed or misconfigured base URL or redirect path in your OpenEMR configuration.
Here’s how to solve it:
1. Check globals.php (OpenEMR configuration)
Open the file:
C:\xampp\htdocs\openemr\sites\default\sqlconf.php
Look for the $webroot or $GLOBALS[‘webroot’] settings.
Ensure this is correctly set to your OpenEMR root:
$GLOBALS[‘webroot’] = “/openemr”; // Or “” if OpenEMR is at domain root
Also verify in:
C:\xampp\htdocs\openemr\interface\globals.php
Make sure:
$web_root = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]), ‘/\’);
No trailing dots or malformed slashes should be there.
2. Check Portal Configuration
In the OpenEMR admin panel:
Go to Administration → Globals → Portal
Make sure the Patient Portal Base URL is correct.
It should be:
And NOT:
https://yourdomain.com./portal ← (note the dot, that’s a problem)
3. Check Apache Virtual Host or .htaccess (optional)
If you’re using a virtual host, confirm it’s correctly defined in:
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
Or check if any .htaccess file under htdocs/ or openemr/ has redirect rules with malformed slashes or dots.
4. Check Patient Portal Login/Logout Code
In:
openemr/portal/index.php
or wherever logout is triggered, ensure it’s redirecting to:
header(“Location: {$GLOBALS[‘webroot’]}/portal/logout.php”);
Avoid this:
header(“Location: ./logout.php”); // May resolve incorrectly
5. Clear Edge Browser Cache
Sometimes this can be a cache issue:
Go to Edge settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Select “Cached images and files” and “Cookies” → Clear.
Thank you for your information
My sqlconf.php file does not have $webroot or $GLOBALS[‘webroot’]
It just has info about accessing the db
In admin | config | portal I have Patient Portal Site Address: https://[site]/openemr/portal
In admin | config | misc I have Site Address Override: https://[site]
Everything about the portal is working fine, except for the logout button. When I hover over all the buttons on the dashboard, I can see the url they will take me to, looking in the bottom left corner of the screen. For all buttons, the url is correct, except for logout which has “/portal” replaced by a period.
I looked at logout.php, home.php and verify_session.php but have not located where the problem is. Any other ideas?
Thanks
This is working okay for me. Have you tried on demo server? Still I’ll look into this later today.
Tried the demo site. Same error
logout button is trying to take me to https://demo.openemr.io/openemr./logout.php
