  • Now the application has been hosted in www.yourdomain.com/openemr.
(In case you placed the Linux tar.gz file in this folder the folder will be named: www.yourdomain.com/openemr-4.x.x after extraction. If needed you can rename this folder into openemr to be compatible with the next instructions)

MySQL Creation

  • You have to set up your database. Go back to your cPanel -> select Database Wizard.
  • Database Creation Tutorial.
  • Pay close attention to Permissions.
  • Note down the credentials.
  • Be certain the collation of your tables matches that in the most current Demo. Guide for changing the collation. Mismatch of collations is a very common setup error.

  • Enter the Database Name, Login Name and Password from MySQL Creation above.
  • The User Hostname is not localhost, but the IP address of the server running Apache/PHP.
  • Incorrect entries will mean an installation failure.
