OpenEMR 4.1 Lion Server

OpenEMR on Lion Server.

If you try this on Lion without server, some locations will need to change.

Install and setup MySQL, PHP and Xdebug according to this web site: http://akrabat.com/php/setting-up-php-mysql-on-os-x-10-7-lion/

When editing php.ini

Change:

short_open_tag = On

max_execution_time = 60

max_input_time = 90

post_max_size = 30M

upload_max_filesize = 30M

Check:

memory_limit = 128M

display_errors = Off

log_errors = On

register_globals = Off

file_uploads = On

Use terminal to make mysql secure:

mysql -u root -p
mysql> DROP DATABASE test;
mysql> DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user = '';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql>quit;

Create a plain text file named openemr.conf and file it with this:

<Directory /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/openemr-4.1.0/sites/default/documents>
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/openemr-4.1.0/sites/default/edi>
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/openemr-4.1.0/sites/default/era>
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

Save it on the desktop and move it to /private/etc/apache2/sites in terminal

sudo cp -p ~/Desktop/openemr.conf /etc/apache2/sites/openemr.conf

In the Finder: Go->Go to Folder->/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/

Get Info for Default

Change Sharing & Permissions so all groups can Read & Write, remember what it was to put it back later.

Download, expand and move openemr-4.1.0 to /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default

In terminal:

cd /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
ln -s openemr-4.1.0 openemr
cd openemr
sudo chmod 666 library/sqlconf.php
sudo chmod 666 interface/globals.php
sudo chown -R _www:_www sites
sudo chown -R _www:_www library/freeb
sudo chown -R _www:_www gacl/admin/templates_c
sudo chown -R _www:_www interface/main/calendar/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/cache
sudo chown -R _www:_www interface/main/calendar/modules/PostCalendar/pntemplates/compiled

Open up web-browser and point it to the installation script at http://localhost/openemr/setup.php

When done, change back Sharing & Permissions on /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default.

Good luck and enjoy.
