Some changes to the BlogRoll

Was looking at some items that need to be removed/noted:
-bbPress Forum – I still have it installed, but going to remove it for now.
-David Allen (GTD) – Still going to link to this, as it’s useful for maintaining awareness with my practice of GTD
-Ojai OK Drill – I’m no longer in Ojai, and somewhat disconnected from the annual OK Drill. I believe they’re still doing this — 3rd Wednesday of September at 7PM. When I consolidated accounts in IONOS I preserved the domain name of www.okdrill.org. My plan is to put some web development time into this in the future. Right now, it’s still pointing to a blogspot.
-Ojai Valley CERT had its domain name cancelled by me, so it’s technically now available for purchase. Figured it didn’t make sense paying for it anymore, as I left Ojai a while back.
-Senga Classic Stage Company is technically not active, but I’m maintaining it, as it reflects the effort and creativity that my mother put into the productions.

openEMR installation

Summary:
Installation went very smoothly. A couple things here and there (creating/editing php.ini) were not done, but it appears I’m functioning. This will only be for a handful of test records, and will not be an actual live/real system. Looking forward to going through the manual.

Procedure for installing openEMR

Desired Outcome: Install openEMR on my website, so I can have a good sense of EHR/EMR systems, including making changes to interface (eg forms)

Download the software to local HDD folder
Note: In my case, I chose Linux

Extracted the Tarball – double-clicking the file to expand

Created a subdomain on my web-site

Create a folder (webspace)

Linked the webspace to the subdomain

Uploaded the expanded software to the folder on website – using FileZilla
Note: Took forever — nearly 400MB upload

Ran the setup for installation – see what happens
Note: Was as simple as just going to the new website
Note: Looks like the auto-check for folder security passed

Database
Note: I selected that I already had created a database
Note: Changed Serverhost from the default of “localhost” to what IONOS wants
Note: Changed Database Name from default of “openemr” to what IONOS wants
Note: Changed Login name from default of “openemr” to the Username as defined by IONOS
Note: Entered password that I had created before
Note: Skipped two factor auth for now

Install results so far, so good:
Connecting to MySQL Server… OK.
Creating Main tables… OK
Creating Language Translation (utf8) tables… OK
Creating CVX Immunization Codes tables… OK
Writing SQL configuration… OK.
Setting version indicators… OK
Writing global configuration defaults… OK
Adding Initial User… OK

Installing and Configuring Access Controls (php-GACL)…
Note: Came back all OK

PHP Configuration recommendations
We recommend making the following changes to your PHP installation, which can normally be done by editing the php.ini configuration file:

https://www.ionos.com/help/hosting/using-php-for-web-projects/changing-php-settings-in-a-phpini-file/#c64991

https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#What_are_the_correct_PHP_settings_.28can_be_found_in_the_php.ini_file.29.3F

Your php.ini file can be found at /etc/php7.4/php.ini
To ensure proper functioning of OpenEMR you must make sure that PHP settings include:
Setting Required value Current value
short_open_tag Off On
display_errors Off Off
register_globals Off Off
max_input_vars at least 3000 5000
max_execution_time at least 60 0
max_input_time -1 -1
post_max_size at least 30M 64M
memory_limit at least 256M -1
mysqli.allow_local_infile On Off
In order to take full advantage of the patient documents capability you must make sure that settings in php.ini file include “file_uploads = On”, that “upload_max_filesize” is appropriate for your use and that “upload_tmp_dir” is set to a correct value that will work on your system.

Configuring Apache WebServer
Note: Because of confidential patient files, there is a bunch of lines that I have to somehow enter at bottom of my Apache configuration file — wherever that is

Resolved – Error logging in to Microsoft Outlook for Mac

Got some weird message about redirect to Autodiscover-s.outlook.com – https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3206915/how-to-suppress-the-office-365-autodiscover-redirect-warning-in-outloo

Then, when I tried to change password it wasn’t emailing to my backup email address.

Maybe it’s because I’m cancelling Office 365 Family for Office 365 Business Standard

This is annoying, because it won’t log in.

Able to log in to Outlook via the web portal no problem. Able to send email to outlook account AND reply — so that means the password is fine.

Q: Why is there an issue with the local Mac App of Outlook not wanting to log in. I did follow the instructions within the link above about going into terminal and flagging something as “true”

Opened local Mac version of Outlook. Closed the prompt for login password. Went into Preferences, Account. I see the default account email address correct. The authentication method is Username and password. Username is correct. Entered what I know the password to be. This is really annoying because there is no “Save” or “OK” Button.

Was able, from iPhone, to send an email to gmail and reply back — OK

Q: Why, within local Mac App for Outlook is it wanting a password?

Found this info to check re: keychain passwords — https://www.sysinfotools.com/blog/fix-outlook-mac-keeps-asking-for-credentials/

I followed all the steps within keychain access — no difference

Updated Firefox and restarted Mac

Message: OneDrive wants to use your confidential information stored in “adalcache” in your keychain. Wants me to login to the keychain password. Entered passwword and said “Always”. Notice the OneDrive icon at the topic appeared to now be OK.

Some message about Dropbox accessibility – unrelated to Outlook issues, but did that because it was nagging from before.

Yammer was running — odd because I don’t remember loading it before. Maybe it’s on an auto-connect. Quit Yammer for now.

Ran Outlook for Mac. Prompted for password. This time it accepted it. Sent a test from gmail to my Outlook account. Received and replied — all good. Now it appears that the Outlook app for Mac can log-in and send/receive mail.

Summary: Maybe it was just about restarting the Mac and also updating the Keychain re: OneDrive.

Quit Outlook for Mac and back in again — OK.

Checked Preferences, Accounts within Outlook Mac and now I see the Default account with a green blip — that’s good, as it was yellow before.
