I checked to see that Apache and MySQL were not running on my system. (I assume there is a version of Apache on the system somewhere).
I followed the procedures described on the wiki at http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/XAMPP_and_OpenEMR_Installation_in_OS_X
I installed XAMPP on the system, and logged on to the welcome screen at localhost: Welcome to XAMPP for OS X 5.6.21.
I accessed the phpInfo page and the phpMyAdmin page from the XAMPP startup page. They are both there. I didn’t configure anything on these pages.
I then ran Terminal and established XAMPP security via the sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp security command.
I then downloaded the most recent openemr-4.2.2.zip package from the windows section on http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_Downloads
I placed this unzipped directory folder in XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs
I then tried to log onto http://localhost/openemr using Safari, and got this result:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Restarting the computer didn’t help.
Restarting XAMPP’s apache server and MySQL didn’t help.
Trying the same thing in Firefox didn’t help.
I found another post that said that in OSX the openemr directory folder should be placed in Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default . . . so I created that folder tree and put a copy of the openemr-4.2.2 directory in there, but that didn’t work either.
I looked at posts in this forum, but most people were discussing problems a bit farther down the road than I’ve gone so far.
What should I do now?
