Log Files not Zipping

  • I didn't include the version, but I'm using 1.4.14, since this has happened on all the old versions too.
    For some reason, when I originally install the software, the log files zip fine. But somewhere
    along the line, it stops the daily log file zipping.


    In my dicom.ini file I still have the line:


    ZipTime = 05:


    So it should be working as far as I can tell....but it isn't. Does anyone have the details on what triggers this, and what else I can check into?


    One of the reasons I'd like more details too, is that I'd really like to have this thing do a weekly zip, instead of a daily zip.
    If that were possible, I'd prefer it greatly.

  • Ahhhhh, I didn't know we had to have the GUI running.
    I see now. That's too bad. We've seen issues in the past
    with the server crashing if we left the GUI up, but it would run
    stable for a month if we left it closed and just ran it as a service.
    It does seem much better in recent versions than past though.
    We did just have a crash:
    [GATEWAYPACS] 20081016 09:45:01 ***A fatal error occurred (out of memory) - closing server


    But I can't confirm if the GUI was up or not.


    Oh well, I'll see if I can pursue maybe some custom weekly zipping where we drop the service for
    a few seconds, cut the logs, zip them, file them, and then restart.

  • Hi,


    we had issues with the GUI crashing in the past as well, but not recently. If the GUI crashes, the server continues to run: the GUI and the server are independent processes. To restart the server you then have to kill the dgate process and restart the GUI.
