Setting up a new site with multi-site

gutiersa · May 27, 2018, 7:53pm

I have new install of openemr 5.0.1 (2). My default site is running so far. When I try to set up a new site I get a blank screen.

I’m using: Freebsd 11.1, PHP72, Mysql57, Nginx

There is nothing in the logs, and I made sure my base folder belongs to www:www
and sites/demo/sqlconf.php is writable. (I manually cloned the sites/default file and named it demo hoping it would help my problem)

What am I missing?

Does it have anything to do with register_globals in php? It was removed in 5.4. ???
Would this help:

?

hi @gutiersa, are you looking to setup multisite?

gutiersa · May 28, 2018, 2:38pm

Yes, but when I click on “Add new site” button, I get a blank screen.

Thanks

hi @gutiersa, should be an error in your log regarding this issue then.

gutiersa · May 28, 2018, 4:34pm

Yes, I had permission errors, and was missing some PHP modules. I am working on it. I’ll post again if I figure it out.

Thanks so much

thanks @gutiersa, it looks like there is still a permission error represented by the first message you posted above

prob best to start over and use the multisite instructions to create a new site ( you can also clone with the multisite module)

gutiersa · May 28, 2018, 5:40pm

Yes, I might start with a fresh tar ball.
I am using the multisite module. Isn’t admin.php??

So far, in the default site, I am able to enter users and patients.

I am also reading up on the privileged user in the Documentation. It has been a long time since I installed an openemr instance, and the first time I am trying to use nginx.

Thanks so much

Hi @gutiersa ,

When you sort out your permissions, note you need to do a couple things in the setup.php script to build your multisites (and note you should revert those changes right after you are done or else your site will be vulnerable to critical security vulnerabilities; actually, its even better to delete the setup.php script completely when you are done building your multisites):

github.com

openemr/openemr/blob/master/setup.php#L25-L33


// Warning. If you set $allow_multisite_setup to true, this is a potential security vulnerability.
// Recommend setting it back to false (or removing this setup.php script entirely) after you
//  are done with the multisite procedure.
$allow_multisite_setup = false;


// Warning. If you set $allow_cloning_setup to true, this is a potential security vulnerability.
// Recommend setting it back to false (or removing this setup.php script entirely) after you
//  are done with the cloning setup procedure.
$allow_cloning_setup = false;

@brady.miller please what is the function of multisite?

gutiersa · May 29, 2018, 5:09pm

I want to set up an openemr instance for multiple, unrelated medicat practices. That way, when it needs to be updated, you can update only one openemr server. Kind of like wordpress.

gutiersa · May 29, 2018, 5:08pm

Yes, I see. thanks so much for this information.

stephenwaite · May 29, 2018, 5:35pm

thank you for the reminder @brady.miller , should we update the wiki with this?

brady.miller · May 30, 2018, 1:49am

hi @stephenwaite ,
Yep, we need to update the wiki.

brady.miller · May 30, 2018, 2:02am

looks great, thanks!

gutiersa · May 31, 2018, 2:11pm

OK, so I have been able to set up multisite, but when I try to log in I am now getting this message:

"Missing file: drivers/adodb-mysql_log.inc.php
