Upgrade

  1. Move current (4.2.2) /openemr directory to a backup directory
  2. Unpackage 5.0.0 openemr into web directory and rename the directory to openemr
  3. Move following directories from old 4.2.2 version to /openemr directory:
    openemr/sites/default/documents
    openemr/sites/default/edi
    openemr/sites/default/era
    openemr/sites/default/letter_templates
  4. Record the openemr/sites/default/sqlconf.php file variables from your old 4.2.1 version, and type these into the openemr/sites/default/sqlconf.php file in new openemr version
  5. In the openemr/sites/default/sqlconf.php file, set the $config variable (found near bottom of file within bunch of slashes) to 1 ($config = 1;).
  6. Open openemr/sql_upgrade.php (http://localhost/openemr/sql_upgrade.php) in web browser, choose 4.2.1 and click 'Upgrade Database'
