Required Software Installation (distribution specific)
First install and configure MySQL, Apache (or another PHP-capable webserver), and PHP5. We recommend referring to your specific operating system (OS) documentation for installation of these software packages.
- (Ensure PHP is configured with these settings)
Debian Lenny
To install the prerequisite software on debian, use the APT system as the system administrator to install packages listed on following wiki page section:
Centos Or RedHat
- If using CentOS or Redhat, then ensure when configuring MySQL for OpenEMR, STRICT_MODE must be disabled. This can be done in the MySQL configuration (my.cnf) file. You can check the setting in an existing MySQL instance by executing SHOW VARIABLES; in the MySQL Command Line Client and checking the value of SQL_MODE. For more details see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-sql-mode.html)
Installing OpenEMR
Downloading package
1. Download the daily OpenEMR development version snapshot:
- http://opensourceemr.com/cvs/openemr-cvs.tar.gz (MD5SUM of file is Here.) (Confirm date of snapshot Here.)
2. Extract the downloaded archive:
- tar -pxvzf openemr-cvs.tar.gz
3. Move the extracted directory openemr to your webserver root directory, and then go to this directory. Refer to your OS and webserver documentation to obtain you webserver root directory. For example, Ubuntu's webserver root directory is /var/www, so in Ubuntu you would use the following commands:
- mv openemr /var/www/
Some other common webserver root directories are:
- Mandriva: /var/www/html
- The FHS: /srv/www/
Configuring the Install through the WEB GUI
1. Open up web-browser and point it to the installation script at http://localhost/openemr .
- The first screen gives some general instructions and ensures file and directory permissions are set up correctly. It should tell you all your file system permissions are good, and have a 'Continue' button on the bottom of the form. If it does, Click the 'Continue' button. Otherwise, If there are errors on this screen, then follow instructions to fix. (screenshot below)
2. The next page is 'OpenEMR Setup' 'Step 1', which asks whether setup should create the database.
- Leave the setting set to 'Have setup create the database', and click the 'Continue' button. (screenshot below)
3. The next page is 'OpenEMR Setup' 'Step 2'. It has a list of options used to setup the database, along with OpenEMR user and OpenEMR path information.
- Most users will just need to enter a 'Initial User Password' for the OpenEMR User and a 'Password' for the sql user(these fields are circled in red in below screenshot). Some users may also have to enter the password of the 'root' user in the mysql server. (screenshot below)
4. The next page is 'OpenEMR Setup' 'Step 3'. On this page you should see logs of OpenEMR connecting and creating the database.
- At the bottom of the page, it should read 'Next step will install and configure access controls (php-GACL).' Click the 'Continue' button. (screenshot below)
