Overview

This is pertinent for all users who have OpenEMR version 3.0.1 or 3.1.0 or 3.2.0 or 4.0.0 on Ubuntu/Debian, and is basically a automated upgrade process (I do recommend backing OpenEMR up via the first step to avoid data loss). Note, you do not need to have the package installed previously to do an upgrade; it will work without the package being previously installed if you are using OpenEMR version 3.0.1 or 3.1.0 or 3.2.0 or 4.0.0 and you previously installed openemr at directory /var/www/openemr . In both Ubuntu and Debian, recommend upgrading via command line.

Backup before upgrade:
 In OpenEMR, go to administration menu and select Backup. Then click 'Continue' and save the backup file to your computer.


Command line Ubuntu Upgrade

1. Download and Upgrade (commands are in red):

wget downloads.sourceforge.net/openemr/openemr_4.1.0-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -i openemr_4.1.0-1_all.deb
(If there was an error(s), then issue the following command (type 'Y' after): sudo apt-get install -f )

2. Now need to secure the patient documents directory (This step is only pertinent if you are upgrading from version 3.2.0 or less):

Modify the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file with a text editor (note adding sites/default/ into the paths):
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/default/documents">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/default/edi">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/default/era">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
Restart Apache (commands are in red):
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

3. Then login to OpenEMR:

Desktop - Browse to http://localhost/openemr .
Server - From another computer browse to server at http://server_IP_address/openemr .
(server IP address can be found using 'ifconfig' command)
