Installation on Ubuntu Part II

Hi All,

As I mentioned in my previous post last week, I have been able to successfully install pacsone enterprise on linux server ubuntu 6.X. That is the long term solution build supported untill 2011.

In any event, I say it has been installed successfully because after running ./install.sh script I get a successful install message.

So here is the problem, I cannot get it to actually work. Specifically, I cannot go to the correct url and pull up pacsone. I think it has something to do with my PHP and APACHE but I am a linux newbie and I am doing everything command line so I have no real idea where to begin troubleshooting this.

What I can tell you is if I go to http://localhost then I am redirected to a directory that has an apache folder listed. If I select the apache folder then I get the main apache page stating that the apache installation has been suuccessfully installed.

The linux build I have installed is completely updated and upgraded per direction used on the Ubuntu site and user forums.

I would appreciate any assitance in resolving this and giving me a good starting point. Please keep in mind I have very very limited linux knowledge but one hell of a linux for dummies book (wink). Seriously, you need to explain things to me like a 5 year old and basically hold my hand because I do not understand the structure of linux, nevermind the associated modules such as PHP and APACHE and MYSQL.

Regards,

Pete

The problem you have really has nothing to do with Linux, as it's about configuring the httpd.conf and php.ini files for Apache and PHP.

1. Try copying any HTML document into the php/ sub-folder where PacsOne is installed, and rename it to test.html. Then try to access it from a browser via the following URL:

http://localhost/pacsone/test.html

If the browser gets a "404 - Not found" error, then it means your httpd.conf was not configured properly because the "pacsone" website/Alias was not working. Check the instructions in the PacsOne Server Installation Guide about configuring the "pacsone" Alias in your httpd.conf, until you can get the above URL working.

2. The next step is to test the PHP script association from Apache. Try to access the test page from your browser:

http://localhost/pacsone/Hello.php

If the browser does not come back with the HTML output listing your current PHP configurations, then check your httpd.conf and make sure you have the following line present:

Code: Select all

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

3. Once you get the test PHP page working, check and make sure the ImageMagick and mysql/mysqli PHP extension loaded successfully from the output of the above test page.

You should only access the PacsOne Server web pages AFTER you have successfully verified all of the above 3 steps. On a side note, these steps are also described in the PacsOne Server Installation Guide:

Yes I did see those instructions but didn't really know how to test to verify if there was an issue or not. I also recall seeing what you mentioned in another post but I wanted to make sure before I did ANYTHING that this is what I really needed to do. I just hate wasting 30 minutes each time I run acorss something and need to reinstall my images so I can keep it as clean as possible.

Will let you know how this turns out!!

Thanks,

Pete
