Overview

This is an already configured OpenEMR with XAMPP on Windows, and is extremely simple to install. The 4.2.0 version includes OpenEMR 4.2.0 and XAMPP version 1.8.2. The first set of instructions will configure mysql and apache as services (this is what we recommend). The second set of instructions will install XAMPP in a way so that the user is required to start/stop the apache and mysql servers manually (do not start automatically at start up). This XAMPP package is extremely unsecure after installation and you need to secure it with configuration of the Security Console.

Changing Apache Port for Windows 10

Prior to Windows 10, Apache listened on Port 80. Windows 10 has taken Port 80 for Internet Information Services. Here is the tutorial for changing the port. 8079 worked well. Remember to use the URL, localhost:8079/openemr for the login. If you wish to run OpenEMR offline, you will need to switch to Airplane mode.
