Conquest 1.5.0d released

Hi Conquest users and friends,

This is the 1.5.0d release. It fixes some bugs (CGET) and improves the web interface functionality, using Apache or the built-in webserver.

You can download the release here:

http://natura-ingenium.nl/dicomserver/dicomserver150d.zip

This is the corresponding Github commit for 1.5.0c:

https://github.com/marcelvanherk/Conquest-DICOM-Server/commit/7b8a36d2f836ec2f4bbb0704c463b706405331c2

As usual you can update by extracting dgate.exe or dgate64.exe and conquestdicomserver.exe, but also quite a few other files have changed - mainly in the web interface, lua code and installer. The web interface no longer required cgi, but uses PhP instead.

The latest source code (1.5.0d+) can be browsed on: https://github.com/marcelvanherk/Conquest-DICOM-Server

Please report bugs and successes!

Marcel

This is the buglist, starting with leftover bugs from earlier versions, per category:

GUI bugs

G1) browse tab does not work if user of server service and server gui are differerent.

Web interface bugs

DICOM Communication bugs

C1) Multiple instance matching incomplete

Installer bugs or limitations (low priority)

I1) last line of dicom.ini does not read if no CR - futured

I2) web installer should copy OHIF (in github) and luiz html folders and compile servertask

I3) Web installer on windows does not offer a 'regen' by itself

I4) Fedora uses /var/www, and nohup has an issue. Therefore provide specific web install scripts for other linux flavours, e.g. fedora.sh. Fedora also requires "sudo setenforce Permissive" for the web server and install to work; also acrnema.map must be copied locally to the cgi-bin/newweb folder rather than pointing to the server folder.

I5) Oracle linux issues see below; add mysql/mariadb option

I6) Running ConquestDicomserver from wine with dgate as linux service issues, replace c: temp filenames with z:/

Unconfirmed bugs:

U1) I was also expecting DicomObject:Read('stu\ser\sop') to work with virtual servers but I tested it again and sadly no luck there

U2) Show header in wadoviewer (wado text) open sometimes as dgate.exe downloads

U3) App/newweb may add HTML header to zip files if using userlogin (not confirmed)

Below ---- newly found bugs for 1.5.0c will be collected (also see above)

N1) Too long queries do not give a proper error message in GUI

N2) Dicom printing from script or gui fails for compressed images

N3) print text from lua should fail gracefully for too long output

N4) Internal networking is unreliable on Centos7

N5) data processed though incoming has CallingAE of 16 spaces in ImportConverter

N6) progressbar in GUI fails to close on very short operations from browser

N7) export:xx,,,,binary does not work

N8) Change or modify should not allow empty patientIDs

N9) Update license to Apache

N10) The GUI ignores ACRNemaMap in dicom.ini

N11) The supplied postgress DLL uses a deprecated login method can use libcrypto-3-x64.dll; libiconv-2.dll; libintl-9.dll; libpq(64).dll; libssl-3-x64.dll; libwinpthread-1.dll from recent release

N12) I think autodelete only works when there is a single MAG device (-ff option).

----- 1.5.0d release -----

N13) Weasis issue: \r\n missing in dicomweb multipart message before boundary (fix on Git)

N14) Weasis issue: Ladle server responds with 200/OK should be 200 OK (fix on Git)

N15) Ladle started in wrong folder under Linux (fix on Git)

N16) linux/webviewer script should not stop ladle (fix on Git)

N17) Provide sample links for Weasis in newweb/dicom.ini (fix on Git)

N18) Update Linux prerequisites for PhP8.1 (fix on Git)

N19) dicomread example overview.lua crashes server on Linux with segmentation fault; must pass SOPInstanceUID (fix on Git)

N20) the filenames in overview.lua are only suitable for windows

N21) print(servercommand('display_status:')) crashes on Linux if dgate runs as dgate -v (rights problem, fix on Git)

N22) update outdated or unused viewer start files (e.g. weasis)

N23) remove cgi-bin web interface, only support php

N24) support minimal download eg without sources

N25) deleting e.g. a RTPLAN from a study does not update StudyModality. Will not fix.

N26) web installer must be made to run on PhP, as cgi is no longer mandated (fix on Git)

N27) e.g. ImportConverter0 = process with C:\Windows\System32\ping.exe does not remove temporary file (fix on Git)

N28) provide script to setup linux prerequisites, taking php version into account (fix on Git)

N29) Crash Postgres on server startup (fix on Git)

N30) conquest.service should no longer set StandardOutput=syslog and StandardError=syslog (fix on Git)

N31) Update mariadb doc in linuxmanual; sudo apt install libmariadb-dev; grant all privileges on *.* to 'conquest';set password for conquest = password('conquest')

N32) apt install mariadb-server iso mariadb (fix on Git)

N33) The clonedb: test command requires VirtualServerFor0 to be defined

N34) installer.lua fails if /usr/sbin is not on the path (apache2 a2query) (Fix on Git)

N35) installer.lua does not work for dbaseiii and null

N36) anonymizer does not process stage with # (MD5 non-reversible mapping)

N37) download location seems broken

Please tell me of any bugs you find.

If you want to try Conquest on Linux, this is an absolute minimal automatic install script:

sudo apt install lua5.1
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcelvanherk/Conquest-DICOM-Server/master/install/installer.lua
lua5.1 installer.lua

It will then ask to install prerequisites. If you allow that, then after it completes you must again run:

lua5.1 installer.lua

It will ask for an AE title (server folder name); then download all; compile it; configure it and install it.

Afterwards the DICOM server and its web server will run.

Note that the script installs or assumes Apache web server.

This is what it looks like, with user input in bold:

>lua5.1 installer.lua

This will install Conquest dicom server and its prerequisites - continue? y/n: y

Enter web interface? y/n:y

Hi,

acrnema.map is not about restrictions (that is dgatesop.lst), but only to lookup the IP address and port of an AE.

Solution 1: (for C-MOVE) if you control the AE of the host, you can use e.g. the V* in acrnema.map:

Give your host e.g. AE = V127.0.0.1 then the line:

V* * 1234 un

Defines V127.0.0.1 as:

V127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1234 un

Solution 2: use a C-GET request.

Solution 3: use DICOMWeb access.

Solution 4: (for C-MOVE) use a script to add a client to acrnema.map as needed.

Marcel

This is possible as explained in the above reply in solution 1 and 4.

Can you define the AE of the viewers to encode the .x in your example? E.g. AE=viewer.1 for 192.168.1.1?

Then define in acrnema.map:

viewer.* 192.168.1.* 1234 un

to do the trick
