Storage folder on NAS not working

[Nico Meijer]

Hi Guys,

I've installed Orthanc on a VM running Win 8 for DICOM Q/R testing.

Since the drive has limited space I want to store the data on a NAS.

I've mapped the NAS as a drive in windows (Z:) and I do have access to the drive in explorer.

After installing Orthanc I changed the "SotorageDIrectory" from C:\\Orthanc to Z:\\Orthanc

After restarting the service, the service stops after 20 seconds.

Changing the storage directory back to the local drive solves the crash

Anyone an idea what causes the problem?

Kind Regards

Nico

The message "E1130 05:04:30.739144 PluginsManager.cpp:164] boost::filesystem::create_directories: The system cannot find the path specified: "Z:\Orthanc"" is showed.

The domain user with started Orthanc have disk Z:? Or only you?

Do you try \\nas on config file?

[Nico Meijer]

1) Map network drive:

2) without check, domain user is your account.

3) Run services.msc and find Orthanc

4) Property->Logon

Orthan run with System Account?

System account don't have access to NAS.

Ok???

Please return on group.

Hi,

Tried all of this.

Orthanc service is now started by the user account.

This account has access to the NAS but Orthanc still crashes.

Hi, 

   I shared a folder on Windows 2012 R2 Server, set permission to user (run Orthanc server) for read/write on share and NTFS.

   I install Orthanc on Win7 Pro and change config file:

  "StorageDirectory" : "\\\\server01.company.corp\\orthanc$\\Orthanc\\",

  "IndexDirectory" : "\\\\server01.company.corp\\orthanc$\\Orthanc\\",

Hi,

This works for me on a PC/server but not on my NAS.

I'm having the same issue, Alexandre.

Did you resolve??

I have mapped Z:// directory that I files won't write to when I set that mapped directory in orthanc config .json file as:

"StorageDirectory" : "Z:\\

[Sébastien Jodogne]

Have you tried double escaping (such as "Z:\\\\"), or replacing backslashes by forward slashes?

[William Sanchez]

Hi

I am trying to configure a NAS to locate the databases in that storage and I have the same problem that you presented, did someone get the solution?

[William Sanchez]

Hi

After many tests I got the solution to locate the Orthanc database on the NAS. The solution was to address the NAS unit by its name in the network and not using the letter of the Windows network map ( \\\\RAID-LACIE\\ORTHANC ) and not Z:\\ORTHANC as the manuals say. It works slow but works well, I hope you help them if they have the same problem.

"StorageDirectory" : "\\\\raid-lacie\\Orthanc",

"IndexDirectory" : "\\\\raid-lacie\\Orthanc",

Regards

William

Hi,

I solved the problem differently, making the use of the drive letter possible.

Normally after installing Orthanc it will be owned/run by the SYSTEM user. In Windows this user cannot access mapped network drives.

By running it under my normal user account or the administrator account, you can access mapped network drives.

Different approach, same result.

So I tried both methods, and it's not wanting to accept either method.. I did change the service to the administrator account and used the mapped drive, and it couldn't access it.. I also tried by the name of the nas and it didn't like it either too.

E1130 16:17:55.876994 PluginsManager.cpp:153] boost::filesystem::create_directories: The system cannot find the path specified: "Z:\Orthanc"

this is the snippet in the config..

  // Path to the directory that holds the heavyweight files (i.e. the
  // raw DICOM instances). Backslashes must be either escaped by
  // doubling them, or replaced by forward slashes "/".
//   "StorageDirectory" : "Z:\\Orthanc",

  // Path to the directory that holds the SQLite index (if unset, the
  // value of StorageDirectory is used). This index could be stored on
  // a RAM-drive or a SSD device for performance reasons.
   // "IndexDirectory" : "Z:\\Orthanc",
     "IndexDirectory" : "\\\\buffalo3\\Ultra\\Orthanc",

could it be because of a subdirectory?
