OpenEMR 3.0 XAMPP Package Installation

From OpenEMR Project Wiki

This is an already configured OpenEMR with XAMPP on Windows, and is extremely simple to install. The 3.0.1 version includes OpenEMR 3.0.1 and XAMPP version 1.7. 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).


Installation as service
-Download package here: xampp-openemr-3.0.1.zip (MD5 sum: 122fbdb67f388fb18514f35cb36e727a)
-Right click downloaded file and select 'Extract All...'
-Choose to extract to 'C:' (extracting to C: is required)
-Double click C:/xampp/mysql/mysql_installservice
-Double click C:/xampp/apache/apache_installservice
-Login at http://localhost/openemr with user:admin pass:pass


Installation not as service
-Download package here: xampp-openemr-3.0.1.zip (MD5 sum: 122fbdb67f388fb18514f35cb36e727a)
-Right click downloaded file and select 'Extract All...'
-Choose to extract to 'C:' (extracting to C: is required)
-Double-click C:/xampp/xampp-control, then click 'start' for mysql and apache
-Login at http://localhost/openemr with user:admin pass:pass


KNOW BUGS OR ISSUES:

  • Do NOT ever click the 'Admin...' buttons in the XAMPP control panel. This will cause very buggy behavior. You can avoid this problem be deleting the C:/xampp/mysql/bin/winmysqladmin.exe file.


Important passwords and database information:
OpenEMR login: user:admin pass:pass
MySQL: root password is empty
MySQL: database:openemr user:openemr pass:S0urc3_F0rg3!
