Freeb Install Improved

FreeBInstall-Improved

FreeBInstall-Improved contains as much of the configuration info that I have been able to come up with.

I installed MySQL, Apache, PHP, OpenEMR, SQL-Ledger manually. I Followed the FreeB mini-howto.

For SQL-Ledger I installed CPAN, DBI, DBD::Pg:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> install DBI
cpan> install DBD::Pg

For FreeB:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install HTML::HeadParser
cpan> install HTML::Template
cpan> install Date::Calc
cpan> install Frontier::Responder
cpan> install HTTP::Daemon
cpan> install PDF::Create
cpan> exit

I downloaded lcwa-1.0.0 which contains LWP:: UserAgent

tar -zxvf lcwa-1.0.0.tar.gz
mv lcwa-1.0.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/
cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/lcwa-1.0.0/
./configure
make
install

I also downloaded Apache-ConfigFile-1.18.tar.gz and installed manually:

tar -zxvf Apache-ConfigFile-1.18.tar.gz
mv Apache-ConfigFile-1.18 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/
cd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache-ConfigFile-1.18
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

To get ConfigFile to work I then:

perl -MCPAN -e shell 
cpan> install ConfigFile 
cpan> exit

I modified /usr/share/freeb/etc/freeb.conf at line 3 to reflect my true path:

url = http://localhost:80/oemr/demo/openemr/library/freeb/xmlrpc_server.php

create a public directory where FreeB outoput is stored:

mkdir /usr/share/freeb/public/

Make it owned by apache and writable by apache.

chown nobody:nobody /usr/share/freeb/public -R

Then start the FreeB server

./bin/FreeB_Server.pl &

I copied ws_server.pl to my sql-ledger bin directory sql-ledger/.

cp ~openemr/accounting/ws_server.pl /usr/local/sql-ledger/

I then opened ws_server.pl with a plain text editor and modified the path on line 7 to reflect the true path. In my case that is:

/usr/local/sql-ledger

I moved sql-ledger.conf.default to sql-ledger.conf

cp /usr/local/sql-ledger/sql-ledger.conf.default /usr/local/sql-ledger/sql-ledger.conf

I added the following to /usr/local/sql-ledger/sql-ledger.conf:

# Some constants relevant to OpenEMR import.
$oemr_username = 'openemr';
# sql-ledger user to post as 
$oemr_ar_acc = '1200';
# account number for accounts receivable 
$oemr_cash_acc = '1060';
# account number for checking (copay deposits)
# In SQL-Ledger you must create a services item for medical services
# before you do any OpenEMR billing. Specify its "part number" here:
$oemr_services_partnumber = 'MS';

# This is the number of days added to the OpenEMR transaction date to
# produce the invoice due date when there is insurance. This affects the
# patient portion of the outstanding balance shown in the OpenEMR patient
# summary, and of course SQL-Ledger's aging reports and statements.
$oemr_due_days = 40;

I configured openemr/interface/globals.php at lines 142, 143, and 144 for the actual instance of sql-ledger, username and password.

$sl_cash_acc = '1060';
// sql-ledger account number for checking
$sl_ar_acc = '1200';
// sql-ledger account number for a/r 
$sl_income_acc = '4020';
// sql-ledger account number for medical services income
$sl_services_id = 'MS';
// sql-ledger parts table id for medical services
$sl_dbname = 'demoledger';
// sql-ledger database name
$sl_dbuser = 'sql-ledger';
// sql-ledger database login name
$sl_dbpass = 'sometrickypassword';
// sql-ledger database login password

I then modified openemr/includes/config.php

$GLOBALS['oer_config']['freeb']['claim_file_dir']= "/usr/share/freeb/public/";

Line 8

$GLOBALS['oer_config']['freeb']['printer_name'] = "HP_LaserJet4L";

change to your default printer

for line 22:

chown nobody:nobody openemr/documents/ -R

Create a Prescription Logo 3 inches wide called prescription_logo.png

openemr/interface/pic/prescription_logo.png

Create a signature 3 inches wide called sig.png

openemr/interface/pic/sig.png

Change line 42 from false to true (the SQL-Ledger needs to be installed and PostgreSQL needs to be running) , line 45 needs to be altered to your true path line 46 is the sql-ledger initial user line 47 is the sql-ledger initial user password

$GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['enabled'] = true;
$GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['server'] = "localhost";
$GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['port'] = "80";
$GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['url'] = "/sql-ledger/ws_server.pl";
$GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['username'] = "sql-ledgeruser";
$GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['password'] = "sq-ledgerpassword";
$GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['url_path'] = "http://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . "/sql-ledger/login.pl"; $GLOBALS['oer_config']['ws_accounting']['income_acct'] = "10035";

create the following directory and make it writable by the web server:

mkdir var/www/htdocs/openemr/library/freeb chown nobody:nobody var/www/htdocs/openemr/library/freeb -R

ConfigFile.pm will only work with version 1.3

If you are using Debian, you'll need to apt-get php4-cli, this module has its own php.ini, edit it and uncoment the line that reads: # module=myslq.so so it gets mysql support.

Also, bear in mind that in Debian the php.ini file hanging from php4-cli will overwrite some values from the php4/php.ini, remember that when you modify stuff in php.ini and changes are not being reflected. (things such as session timeout)

I restarted PostgreSQL and FreeB_Server.pl because all of the configuration changes.
