Hello,
Our PACS one server is too old and keeps crashing on a Windows 2003 server, we want to move it to new server with multi proc, lots of memory etc 64 bit., what is the process to move the server to NEW server? I could not find any documentation as to how to move to new server.
I am guessing install everything on new server, updated versions etc then deactivate old license and activate new license? also, any help on exporting and importing mysql database for pacsone would really be helpful (as to how to export db and import)
Thanks.
Moving PACSONE to new server
There are 2 ways to migrate an existing PacsOne Server database from the old server to the new one:
1. If you are running identical versions of PacsOne Server and MySQL on both the old and new servers, AND you plan to move/copy all the raw Dicom images from the old server to the EXACT same storage paths on the new server, e.g., from “C:/” to “C:/”, from “E:/” to “E:”, etc., then follow the instructions below:
a. Stop PacsOne Server and MySQL on both servers.
b. Copy/move all raw Dicom images from the old server to the EXACT same paths on the new server.
c. Copy all the MySQL data files (under the “data/” sub-folder where MySQL is installed) from the old server to the new server, and replace any current versions on the new server. These include the “ibdata1” file and any sub-folders under the “data/” sub-folder where MySQL is installed.
d. Start MySQL on the new server, login to MySQL as Administrator and verify you see all tables from the old database.
e. Start PacsOne Server on the new server, login as Administrator and verify you can see all the patients/studies in the old database as well as the thumbnail images from any sample study.
2. Otherwise if either the MySQL or PacsOne Server are not the same on the old and new servers, or the storage paths on the new server is different from the old server, then follow the instructions below:
a. Stop PacsOne Server on both servers.
b. Copy/move all raw Dicom images from the old server to some different storage path on the new server.
c. Backup the existing database on the old server into a SQL text file, e.g., using “mysqldump.exe” etc.
d. Restore the database on the new server from the backup SQL text file above.
e. Login to MySQL as Administrator on the new server and verify you see all tables from the old database.
f. Start PacsOne Server on the new server, and login to PacsOne Server from a web browser, click on “Tools->Import” menu and submit an Import job from the new storage path where all the raw Dicom images are copied into in Step a above. This will update the meta-records stored in the PacsOne Server database to link to their new storage paths on the new server.
g. After the Import job above is completed, the migration is complete and you should be able to see the thumbnail images of any sample study stored in the database.

I read the below solution in the forum, what I was more interested to know was how to transfer license to the new serve because the new server will have more updated version of PHP, Pacsone and MYSQL as the old server has outdated versions. Will the reports/Notes get transferred as well? the new server name will change too and since this is old server we have too much data to transfer, so up time is crucial. Do we need to send you email to get new license or the same license will work on the new server?
You will need a replacement license for the new server because the old license won't work on the new server hardware. To request a replacement license, you'll need to send your current PacsOne Server license (license.dat) under the directory where PacsOne is installed to mailto:pacsone@pacsone.net, as long with the output text of the following command run from a local shell on your new server:
1. If you are running Windows, type:
2. If you are running Linux/MacOS, type:
1. If you are running Windows, type:
Code: Select all
C:\>ipconfig /all
Code: Select all
$ uname -a;/sbin/ifconfig
