Hello Everyone,

Ubuntu desktop 15.10
LAMP Server Setup done

Trying to install OpenEMR 4.2 or GIT or 4.3

Keep getting the error: Dependancy is not Satifiable: apache2-mpm-prefork

But when I do the following: apachectl -V | grep -i mpm
I get: Server MPM: prefork

Apparently in the newer version of Apache and PHP5, “prefork” is not part of it anymore.

Ideas?

If you want to reply privately: gfpfnp@gmail.com or to the forum.

Thanks

4.3 not available yet.

Try following:

  1. Uninstall LAMP stack & any OE remnants .
  2. Install Package from command line.

We usually don’t pm unless it’s sensitive or embarrassing or both.

I did do a full uninstall and reinstall prior.
Then tried to install OpenEMR, but got the same erros as previously, thus the request for help.

Oh, and yes it was from the Command Line.

It is much more difficult to install LAMP stack & OpenEMR separately than it is to install the Package.

It is not necessary to have the stack installed to use the Package cited above, because Apache, MySQL & PHP are parts of the Ubuntu Debian Package.

If you reinstall the stack, you must delete it.

If you encounter an error installing only the Package, the most likely reason is that there has been an incomplete deletion of OE from the first attempt. See this.

Occasionally the user is forced to reinstall the OS (nuclear option) to get rid of every last bit of OE.

Probably easier to bypass the package method and just do a straight install of OpenEMR, after installing all the necessary prerequisites via the OS package management tools provided. Also avoids future danger of OS package upgrades stomping all over OpenEMR.
