Pre Install - Checking File and Directory Permissions

Welcome to OpenEMR. This utility will step you through the installation and configuration of OpenEMR for your practice.

  • Before proceeding, be sure that you have a properly installed and configured MySQL server available, and a PHP configured webserver.
  • Detailed installation instructions can be found in the 'INSTALL' manual file.
  • If you are upgrading from a previous version, DO NOT use this script. Please read the 'Upgrading' section found in the 'INSTALL' manual file.

We will now ensure correct file and directory permissions before starting installation:

Ensuring following file is world-writable...

UNABLE to open file '/var/www/html/openemr/sites/default/sqlconf.php' for writing.
(configure file permissions; see below for further instructions)

You can't proceed until all above files are ready (world-writable).

In linux, recommend changing file permissions with the 'chmod 666 filename' command.

Fix above file permissions and then click the 'Check Again' button to re-check files.
