Hi everybody !
i have a problem after orthanc update… 
“E1218 19:10:48.332980 main.cpp:2074] Uncaught exception, stopping now: [The directory to be created is already occupied by a regular file] (code 2000)”
I’m on Windows and i store images in : C:\PACS\OrthancStore
When i create new destination folder othanc start normaly.
When i try to move some subfolder in the new destination, orthanc stop.
Thanks for your help
Romain
Hi,
Never heard of that error message but, the way I understand it is that Orthanc tries to create e.g.
C:\PACS\OrthancStore\a2\cd\a2cd… and e.g. there is already a file named
C:\PACS\OrthancStore\a2\cd and therefore, Orthanc is not able to create the directory
HTH,
Alain.
Hi,

Yes, new versions won’t help. Only thing you can do to identify the problem is to run Process Monitor, filter logs on Orthanc.exe and check for the error. That should tell you which file is being accessed when the error occurs.

Hi,
i try process mon but my files rights are ok… It’s the same folder than older orthanc version.
You can see end of my logs :

You should look in the Process Monitor for any errors - not only at the end of the logs since there are probably thousands of logs generated once Orthanc initiates its shutdown.
HTH,
Alain.
Hi Alain,
there is no error
I can read every where “SUCCESS” for orthanc.exe process.

And access to datastore is success too :

Sorry for multiple messages 
Hello,
From what I see in your logs, you are trying to write to a network drive:
\10.50.24.248\pacs\OrthancStore
Have you read the FAQ about network drives on Windows?
“If you run Orthanc as a Windows service, and if you want to store the Orthanc database (or the Orthanc Web Viewer plugin) onto a shared network drive, you might encounter an error boost::filesystem::status: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation. This probably means that the SYSTEM account is not allowed to access the mapped network drive. The easiest approach to this end consists in configuring the Windows service to run as user (instead of the default SYSTEM account),”
https://book.orthanc-server.com/faq/troubleshooting.html#windows-specific-issues
https://groups.google.com/g/orthanc-users/c/axrJfgA-Enk/m/i5nq-zhDAwAJ
If this doesn’t apply to you, have a look at the content of your “OrthancStore” directory, or start with a fresh installation.

HI,
Yes i read this kb and my orthanc service run as user.
If i start a fresh install, how can i import old images ?
thx
romain
Hello,
If i start a fresh install, how can i import old images ?
The replication process is explained in the Orthanc Book:

thx
script does not work if compression is active
there are no tips for this?
romain
Hello,
The “OrthancRecoverCompressedFile” command-line tool is available if compression is active. Check out the following references:

hi !
thx !!!
if someone interested…
my script to use the program :
@echo off
::VARIABLE
set REP_ENTREE=C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\input
set REP_SORTIE=C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\OUTPUT
set REP_ORTHANC=%PROGRAMFILES%\Orthanc Server\Tools
::SCRIPT
for /F “delims=” %%a in (‘dir “%REP_ENTREE%*” /b’) do (“%REP_ORTHANC%\OrthancRecoverCompressedFile.exe” “%REP_ENTREE%%%a” “%REP_SORTIE%%%a.DCM”)
an other question : do you have solution / script for Windows it can mass import dicom files to my fresh install ?
I hereby re-post Benjamin Golinvaux’s answer to your question, as it looks like Google Groups has removed it:
"The following one-liner will recursively list all *.com files in the current directory and all subdirectories, and will upload them to Orthanc.
Please adapt the file pattern, IP host and port to your needs.
ls -Recurse -Filter *.dcm |% {Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri http://127.0.0.1:8048/instances -InFile $_ }
If you need to use basic authentication, please see this link
On a side note, if I may comment on your previous script, you really should kiss cmd.exe goodbye. Powershell is 120x easier to use, is available on all Windows versions since Vista and is as well integrated into Windows as cmd.exe is.
Hope this helps!"
