I have a client considering asking me to pull the records off an old
server running an unknown (to them) version of linux that had freemed
implemented on it around ten years ago. I was told the person who
implemented it was a lady who's brother helped develop the product. I
want to make sure I can smoothly migrate this data to a new machine. I
have no exposure to the product whatsoever. I plan my first assessment
next week. Could anyone provide any info of what I am in for?
Regards
Bob

Which version of FreeMED is it running?
If it's *really* ancient, it might be a little difficult to migrate to
a newer version, but simply transplanting the installation is pretty
simple.
1) Tar up and copy the /usr/share/freemed directory from old -> new
2) Do a full mysqldump of the freemed database and restore on the new machine
3) Set up apache to look in the appropriate place
I think that's about all that has to be done, other than making sure
that its dependencies are installed on the new system. Older versions
use various utilities, so it would be helpful to know the version.

Hi Bob,
Jeff Buchbinder forwarded your email to me because he and I have done migrations like this in the past.
As he mentioned, just look in the /usr/share directory to see whether you have a freemed-0.8.x directory or some other one. Also, when you log into FreeMED you should see what version you are using. The version is listed just above the Username blank.
Lastly, did this client do scanning and faxing out of FreeMED? If this practice did that, then there may be a huge set of djvu files to transfer. You would also need to set up these interfaces on the new server.
Keep in touch with us and we will help you all we can.

hello,
thanks again everyone. upon observation, i have found that I am using
freemed 0.2.1.3. aka bread and butter/cvs. I attempted to cd to /usr/
share and found no freemed-#.#.x directory. This is confusing me as I
dont have gui access to this device. Also, upon observation, it was
found that this system was set up for web-browsing so that users
commit all changes from a firefox or IE session and telnet into the
device to restart as needed. I am telnetted in and digging around
trying to find the freemed-#.#.x directory. The client also informs me
she does not use scanning and faxing from the system.
Thanks again everyone!
Bob

Hi Bob,
Did you find the freemed directory yet? Jeff Buchbinder thinks that it might be under the /var directory.
It if is not there, then give the following command: sudo updatedb
Then do: locate freemed
That will find the directory for you.
The next question we have for you is what do you plan to do with the data?
Do you plan to install it in a newer version of FreeMED or another application?

Hi Bob,
I just wanted to comment volkers hint, that if 'sudo updatedb' gives an error like 'sudo: command not found' you have to do the following: ('sudo is very likely not to exist on old systems)
Enter 'su' and press enter
Then type in your root-password.
Now enter 'updatedb', press enter and wait until the command has finished (depends on the disk size and the amount of files you have. Can take some minutes...)
Now enter 'locate freemed' and it should show you in which filenames and/or directories freemed is part of.
If updatdb or locate cannot be found either, you need to install / compile locate or slocate.
Kind Regards,
Philipp

Thanks guys,
I will meet with the client again either tonight or tomorrow. this is
so helpful of you, i really appreciate it. It's running on RH7 so the
odds are sudo wont work. What I plan to do with the data is integrate
it into a new system for the client. The client basically wants new
hardware (newer than pentium2 shouldnt be hard). I want to place it in
the place where it would be read by the new linux based system as it
was on the old. She uses the web gui to connect to the database via
another computer running MSWindows. She has not acquired the new
system yet so I am trying to move at her pace. I figure I'm going to
need to set up a bunch of dependencies to get it running too. I'll be
in touch later in the week.
regards,
Bob

Hi,
Am I correct in assuming that you will be installing the newer version of FreeMED?
If so, I would suggest that you install the "Debian stable" operating system and then follow the FreeMED installation instructions at http://groups.google.com/group/freemed-support/web/freemed-v-08-4-installation-instructions
It you use other versions of Linux, you may get errors during the installation. These errors are surmountable but you may wind up asking a multiple questions.

Hello,
Thanks again everyone. I was just informed that the user had not given
me complete disclosure on the project goals. I presented my project
charter with the implication that we'd be going to an undetermined
current linux variant and using freemed's current version. The
customer just informed me that this was not her intent. I guess now
she wants me to magically make ten year old linux files seamlessly
integrate into a database for some unknown x86 Windows system.
What format to the files that contain the individual patient info come
out as using the instructions of the sql-dump? (assuming her version
is going to allow that)
Best regards,
Bob Germanovich

Hi,
It seems that this person is taking advantage of you.
Get her to sign a contract and then come back with your questions once the project is defined.
