Need the "orthanc.json" file

General

Hello / Hi ORTHANC Team ,

I am a new user of Orthanc Server and I am more keen on using the Orthanc as DICOMweb Client machine.

So , I have to add the other DICOM Web server into the file “Orthanc.json” but I am kept on failing to successfully add the DICOM Web Server

I have to see the demo Server of Orthanc and I am able to acces it using the URL" Orthanc Explorer 2" I can also see a “DICOM Web Server” in the home page .

So , I need the Orthanc.Json Configuration file of this demo server for me to understand better on how the DICOM Web Server is configured .

Could you please share me the Orthanc.Json file of this Demo Server " Orthanc Explorer 2" as it helps me a lot to understand since I have been struggling to configure in my Orthanc Server for many weeks.

Appreicate you if you can reply me with a permanent solution .

Hi @yogesh

On what platform are you running Orthanc ?

Can you share your json file ?

Have you checked the Orthanc logs ?

Is the DICOMWeb plugin loaded ?

Best,

Alain

Hi Alain,

Thanks and appreciate for the reply. here is my config file . where I have added the below entry just to check if this appears in the Dicomweb client drop down

“DicomWeb.Servers”:{
“sample” : [ “http://localhost:8042/dicom-web/” ]
},

But , still , I am unable to see this get listed in the application. Attached the Config. file here.

Please review and suggest me if any correction

Hi Alain ,

Sorry , I forgot to answer other questions . I am running it on Windows 11 machine .

Here is the Screen shot which shows me that DicomWeb Plugin is visible as per the System info. page

You should have something like this:

  "DicomWeb" : {
	  "Servers":{
		"sample" : [ "http://localhost:8042/dicom-web/" ]
	  }
  },

Hi Alain

It is not working for me if I update Orthanc.json . Not sure How to proceed. I have one more Question, which Configuration file do we add this Server details?

orthanc.json or dicomweb.json

Can you please Clarify

Hello,

The DICOMweb configuration file should be located at: C:\Program Files\Orthanc Server\Configuration\dicomweb.json

Depending on your system, this file could also be located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Orthanc Server\Configuration\dicomweb.json

You will then have to restart the “Orthanc” Windows service (here is the first link I found about Windows services).

Hello Sir ,
Yes , it is working fine as default with the file dicomweb.json and I could re-start the service in Windows machine.

But , I am still not able to configure my DICOM Web Client in the local instance of Orthanc . Can I connect with you on a live meeting to fix this issue ? since I got suggestions from update the client information in the orthanc.json file.

I am confused and still successful adding a DICOMweb client successfully ..

It will be great support and highly appreciate if you can connect with me to help making this configuration since I am using the Orthanc first time

Hello,

No, it is not possible to arrange a live meeting.

Orthanc is used by hundreds of people around the world, and developers of free and open-source software simply cannot provide one-on-one support, as this would immediately freeze the development of the project. Furthermore, offering personal assistance is not part of my role as a university professor. This is exactly why we provide a public discussion forum, where the community can ask questions and help each other. In addition, professional support around Orthanc is available.

Sébastien-
