Overview

This package has been confirmed to work with Ubuntu 12.04 and less versions and is NOT compatible with Ubuntu 14.04 and higher (a fixed package is under development)

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 or 4.1.0 or 4.1.1 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 or 4.1.0 or 4.1.1 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.

Upgrade

Command line Ubuntu Upgrade

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

wget downloads.sourceforge.net/openemr/openemr_4.1.2-2_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -i openemr_4.1.2-2_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 pertinent if you are upgrading from version 4.1.2 or less):

Modify the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file with a text editor (note adding sites/*/ into the paths; if already contain sites/default/ paths, then still replace with below):
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/*/documents">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/*/edi">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/*/era">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/openemr/sites/*/documents">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/openemr/sites/*/edi">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/openemr/sites/*/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)

2. Now need to secure the patient documents directory (This step is pertinent if you are upgrading from version 4.1.0 or less):

<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/*/documents">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/*/edi">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/openemr/sites/*/era">
order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
Restart Apache (commands are in red):
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

3. Then login to OpenEMR:

(server IP address can be found using 'ifconfig' command)

Download and install most recent patch

After finishing above upgrade, recommending getting the most recent patch for version 4.1.2. Instruction to do this can be found on the OpenEMR Patches page.
