A description of how to install OpenMRS 1.5.1 on Debian 5 on Debian 8 (stable / LennyJessie) server; this was performed in a VirtualBox VM, but should work on a server.
...
Installation
Download the Debian 5 8 (stable) installer CD.iso (~180MB~630MB) from the Debian homepage
...
Restart (as requested)
Edit your repository sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) to include Java (non-free) nano /etc/apt/sources.list
add non-free to the 2 lines ending in "main" e.g. for UK repos: deb . Do this by adding "non-free contrib" to each repo line. It should look something like:
| Code Block |
|---|
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp. |
...
de.debian.org/debian |
...
/ jessie main contrib non-free |
...
deb-src http://ftp. |
...
de.debian.org/debian |
...
/ jessie main contrib non-free |
If you have necessary .deb files on a CD / iso (rather than downloading from internet) and copy all the .debs to /var/cache/apt/archives:
| Code Block |
|---|
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom |
...
cp /cdrom/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/ |
Install the components : apt-get install default-jre
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
apt-get install tomcat5.5 tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps
Allow a Tomcat Admin user (tomcat; select a more secure password than "tomcat") /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop
nano /var/lib/tomcat5.5/conf/tomcat-users.xml<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role as root, install mysql (remember the root password which you use as this will be used later), and make sure tomcat7 is not running for configuration:
| Code Block |
|---|
apt install build-essential git openjdk-7* tomcat7 tomcat7-admin tomcat7-common mysql-server curl
systemctl stop tomcat7 |
Create a tomcat user able to perform operations. Edit /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml to have the following (edit the password to something more secure!)
| Code Block |
|---|
<role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="admin"/> |
...
<role rolename="manager"/> |
...
<role rolename=" |
...
manager-gui"/> |
...
<user |
...
name=" |
...
admin" password= |
...
"admin" roles="tomcat,admin,manager,manager-gui"/> |
...
</tomcat-users> |
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start
Remove tha the Tomcat Java security (? unnecessary if only 1 Tomcat application present) nano . Edit /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5Use the Java security manager? (yes/no)
TOMCAT6tomcat7 and make sure that the line containing TOMCAT7_SECURITY is set to "no"
| Code Block |
|---|
TOMCAT7_SECURITY=no |
Create the necessary directory for OpenMRS settings
| Code Block |
|---|
mkdir /usr/share/ |
...
tomcat7/.OpenMRS |
...
chown -R |
...
tomcat7:root /usr/share/ |
...
tomcat7/.OpenMRS |
...
Reload deamon due to changes to init.d and start tomcat7
| Code Block |
|---|
systemctl daemon-reload
service tomcat7 start |
From a networked client computer, go to webpage (replcing ipaddress with the actual IP of the OpenMRS server):
http://ipaddress:81808080/ to check Apache working http://ipaddress:81808080/manager/html to login to Apache (tomcat / tomcat)
Deploy openmrs.war file (download from this site)
Configuration
You can now proceed with the OpenMRS setup wizard. Outlined below are recommended defaults if this is the first time you are using OpenMRS. Only change what is noted below.
...
Start at http://ipaddress:81808080/openmrs (where ipaddress = e.e. 192.168.1.2)
...
- OpenMRS: admin/test -> admin/Password.1
- Tomcat: tomcat/tomcat
- MySQL: root/openmrs
- Debian 5 7 Appliance: root/openmrs or openmrs/openmrs
