Overview

Step by step I will explain how to build Mirth Connect Appliance from Turnkey Core. Now I have one running on VMWare Server. Next step I like create LiveCD and using Debian sources.

What is Mirth Connect?

Mirth Connect is an open source standards-based healthcare integration engine. Mirth Connect facilitates the routing, filtering, and transformation of messages between health information systems over a variety of protocols (like LLP, Database, and FTP) with support for numerous standards (such as HL7, XML, and DICOM).

Install turnkey on VMWare (or similar)

Deploy Turnkey-Core ISO image on VMWare with 2GB hard disk and 512MB RAM.

Download files and upload to server

Setup

  • Access to Turnkey-Core using console (IP of your virtual machine).
  • Install Java
# Move java file
mv /jdk-6u14-linux-i586.bin /opt
 
# Run Java to install
cd /opt/
./jdk-6u14-linux-i586.bin

# Create simbolic link
ln -s /opt/jdk1.6.0_14 /opt/java
  • Install Mirth Connect
# Run Mirth to install
./mirth-1.8.1.4211.948-linux-installer.bin

# Setup Mirth
cd /opt/mirth
/opt/java/bin/java -jar mirth-1.8.1.4211xxxx-setup.jar script.xml

# Your Mirth install on /opt/Mirth (careful with uppercase and lowercase, on linux is different Mirth and mirth)
# Mirth config to run on reboot
ln -s /opt/Mirth/mirth-daemon /etc/init.d/mirth-daemon
update-rc.d mirth-daemon defaults

# Set JAVA_HOME on Mirth, edit file: /opt/Mirth/mirth-daemon add next lines at top:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  • (Optional) set JAVA_HOME on your user (root):
# Edit file: /root/.bash_profile and add next lines:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
  • Reboot system:
shutdown -r now

Checkings

Check Mirth installation

Go to Mirth at http://172.16.17.130:8080/ (IP of your virtual machine) Note: Your client need have Java JRE and user/pass default is admin/admin

Check Webmin access

Go to Webmin at https://172.16.17.130:12321/

Future

  • I like to write this machine on LiveCD and create image
  • Run Mirth with another user, I don't like run with root user.
  • Run on Debian Image for more stability, from scratch maybe...
