The current ctn deb packages do not work with mysql
version >= 4.1, so I made a binary package for the
Ubuntu 7.04 that corrects the problem, and it works
properly with mysql 5.

Welcome to CDMEDIC upgrade, you need to have cdmedicpacsweb_1.2.0_darwin installed with or without cdmedicpacsweb_1.2.0_darwin_Patch_1

4: autodeletion by database insertion or study date (temporal PACS)
5: series displayed in film fashion or independent jpg images (quicker)
6: web page preparation when Mac is idle (quicker)

What's New?
Mysql DB update to version 5,the package the mysql 5 server is
included and the new library dependecies are also included so the
package has grown now to 20.9 MB.
The installation script make a fresh installation or ugrade easy,
in the last case, the DICOM data already stored on CDEMDIC is
automaticly incorporated to the new DB.
Now you can take the advantage of using Mysql GUI Tools or phpadmin
for the DB management.
You can download CDMEDICPACSWEB from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61662
To install CDMEDICPACSWEB run in a terminal:
tar xvfz cdmedicpacsweb_1.2.0_darwin.tgz && \
./cdmedicpacsweb_install_1.2.0.sh
That's all!... read more

What's new?

The needed perl modules are included to simplify installation.
The default AE Title of the PACS is CDMEDIC, to avoid problems with
strange hostnames than could be incompatible as mysql DB names.
The PACS default port is 11112.
Once installed if you run in a terminal the command 'autoctn',
when you try to verify the PACS from any application, it tries
to add its AE title, host and port(Only a few frecuently used
port are probed, it would be nice to have a larger list of
ports most used!).
The Nagoya DICOM viewer included is now the version 100 instead 0.54.
