This is a bump to bump this thread. I’m still hoping to get some help with identifying the issue and correcting it. Any ideas?

#3

looks like there’s a typo in the script that tried to include

[Sun Jan 31 02:23:43.191652 2021] [php7:warn] [pid 21815] [client xx.yy.zz.aaa:56354] PHP Warning:  include_once(/var/www/localhost/htdocs/opener/controllers/C_PracticeSettings.class.php)

see how openemr is spelled opener?

it’s prob in

interface/main/tabs/menu/menus/standard.json
#4

I think this is at least one of the relevant sections of

interface/main/tabs/menu/menus/standard.json

and it looks benign:

      {                                                                         
        "label": "Practice",                                                    
        "menu_id": "adm0",                                                      
        "target": "adm",                                                        
        "url": "/controller.php?practice_settings&pharmacy&action=list",        
        "children": [],                                                         
        "requirement": 0,                                                       
        "acl_req": [                                                            
          "admin",                                                              
          "practice"                                                            
        ]                                                                       
      },

But somehow the path is not being assembled correctly for some reason. I wonder why.

this seems vaguely familiar, did you have a similar issue a year or two ago?

#6

There was a somewhat similar issue that involved reports Unable to run reports: Not Found: The requested URL /report/patient_report.php was not found on this server … I will take a look at the user settings (patient menu role, etc.) and see if this where the problem is.

#7

It doesn’t look like there is anything non-standard in my menu settings under my user.

checkout that custom.json script as before

#9 
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr # find ./ -name custom.json
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr #

I’m unable to find a custom.json file.

#10

find . -name Custom.json

#11

Perfect. Found two files:

./sites/default/documents/custom_menus/Custom.json
./sites/default/documents/custom_menus/patient_menus/Custom.json

The first file has the usual benign appearing JSON elements (without the initial part of the path):

      {                  
        "label": "Practice",
        "menu_id": "adm0",  
        "target": "adm",    
        "url": "/controller.php?practice_settings&pharmacy&action=list",
        "children": [],                                                 
        "requirement": 0,                                               
        "acl_req": [                                                    
          "admin",                                                      
          "practice"                                                    
        ]                                                               
      },

The second file does not contain “Practice”. I wish I knew how the complete path was assembled so that I could understand why the overall path is not correct.

Hi Ralf,
I’ll take a quick look to at least see where the url gets mangled. The smarty controller errors can be a little difficult to track.

Come from web_root which is your root openemr directory however, it appears you have a path set somewhere that is including the the root directory ie opener/controller.php?practice_settings&.....

The first error causes the second so ignore second.

If you have ability to search soure code with your IDE then do a code search for say, ‘opener/’ or similar…

Here is the code that generates the error message.
