Apache server integration and MySQL instead of SQLite?

[ico....@gmail.com]

Hi,
First of all I must say that this is great project and well implemented with good documentation. I download and browse the source code of orthanc 0.7.2. I find out that you are using Mongoose server and SQLite database. What I want to know is is there any way I can use Apache server with MySQL database? For the project I am on it, I must use Apache server which is currently running. Can you give me some direction? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Many thanks for your positive feedback!

Orthanc can only use its own, embedded SQLite database engine. However, Orthanc can transparently work in parallel with MySQL, within a LAMP server: You do not have to setup anything particular, as SQLite does not require any database setup. You just have to specify in the Orthanc configuration file where to store the SQLite database.

Regarding Apache, Orthanc can be setup behind Apache using the "reverse proxy" mechanism:

As a summary, even if Orthanc uses Mongoose/SQLite, nothing prevents its use on a standard Apache/MySQL box.

HTH,

Sébastien-
