probably a dumb question. HELP

So I was able to configure OrthanC on a windows PC… I configured the storage location to be our fileserver… (mapped a drive to the directory, and set the directory on the install) I was able to get the webserver running… I was able to configure the Philips cx50 to export dicom study to orthanc . I was able to view the export in the web browser… I was able to export the zip of the files, and have all the dcm files and was able to view them fine.

HOWEVER, there are no files in my storage server. is it stored locally on the orthanc installed PC? is it being referenced to the cx50? where are the files? Do I need to execute or set something on the server so it exports to the storage directory?

Thank you so much for reading my rant and newbness…

Have you tried to manually create the “Z:\Orthanc” folder using the user that runs Orthanc? This is most probably a permission error. In either case, you should ask support to your system administrator, as we won’t be able to help on infrastructure-related problems.

Note that according to your logs, this is the Orthanc Web viewer trying to store its cache. You could try to either disable this plugin (for instance by removing the “OrthancWebViewer.dll” file), or to use a local folder for the cache (by setting the “WebViewer” → “CachePath” option to another path on your "C:"):

Hi…

thanks for your note… I had checked it when I switched it over to the system account… Everything is good there… it has access to read /write as well…

Happy Holidays to you…

Hello,

For reference, I have just added this information in the Orthanc Book:
