Backed up using OpenEMR 3.01 backup (in Admin section) which produced “openemr.sql.gz” and “openemr.tar.gz” files. Have the OpenEMR 3.2 installed and working (admin and pass demo right now) on the new server.
Where can I find a step by step method for getting all of our stuff into the new 3.2 on the new server. The above mentioned files have been transferred to the new server. Obviously want to make sure the new server is up to speed before we switch over.
Thanks

Thanks for the info. Used that guide and a number of others. Once I had a non-truncated emr_backup.tar file everything went  great using the restore script. Still have some issues in that I cannot see the log in screen but I had this a while back and it is well documented here in the forums. Sure I’ll get it going in the morning. May document in newbiese the whole process.
You gurus are some of the most knowledgeable and GENEROUS of any on any forum.
Thanks again.

Update: Everything works. Sort of (wil explain in a second…)

Went from old box to new box like this ………

Current system: Ubuntu Server 10.1          
                              OpenEMR 3.2

Went from:
Old Box
CentOs 4 or something using Clarkconnect and a mess of things (Two mysql and apache installations on the same box)
OpenEMR 2.7->2.8->Ron R->3.0 ->new box and 3.2

Problems initially:  
emr_backup/tar  was corrupt

Current state:
Everything works but having some very strange things. Login page says I’m using Openemr 2.9. Also the layout once logged is the old layout.
Checked Ubuntu and tried to upgrade to 3.2 however it states that is what I am using (3.2) and it won’t upgrade. Must be some config file stuff I am hoping some of you can tell me how to change.

Would not have been possible without this forum.

Thanks

hey,
Very strange. Are you sure your not using another openemr instance?

The globals.php file holds the version (check it) which should be 3.2.0. The ubuntu package checks the /var/www/openemr/interface/globals.php file for the version, so am guessing this is where the OpenEMR you should be using is. Are you sure you don’t have another instance of openemr (for example /var/www/interface/globals.php) that your directing your browser to. try a

 grep -R "\$v_major" /var/www/

which should only identify one globals.php file.
