FAQ

Note: this FAQ applies to Linux servers. Other systems might behave differently.

Q: How do I begin?

A:

• Download the server binaries and unzip them in an appropriate directory.
• create a directory $HOME/elexis-server, copy the connection settings and the shiro access definitions to that directory and edit them according to your needs.
• cd <server-directory>, then ./linux-start.sh
• telnet localhost 7234
• es_p2 features install info.elexis.server.fhir.rest.core.feature.feature.group
• Launch a browser and navigate to http://localhost:8380/fhir/Patient?name=&lt;some patient name part>

Q: The server won't start

A:

• consult $HOME/elexis-server/logs
• make sure, your elexis database has a locale-config (select wert from config where param='locale'; ). If this query returns an empty set, find out your machine's locale by typing locale in the terminal. Then insert that in the 'config' table, as in: insert into config (param,wert) values ("locale","de_CH.UTF-8");
• make sure, your table names are lowercase and the mysql server is set to ignore case. Instructions here
• Reinstall the fhir core bundle: es_p2 features uninstall info.elexis.server.fhir.rest.core.feature.feature.group, then es_p2 features install info.elexis.server.fhir.rest.core.feature.feature.groupin the elexis-server telnet console.
