Modality Worklist - wlmscpfs wwwapp help - no Available Storage Areas

[toddboyland]

I'm trying to get dcmtk-www to work as a part of wlmscpfs (dcmtk: wlmscpfs v3.5.4 2005-12-20).
I found 2 users in the forum w/ the same symptoms, but no forum responses.
The wlmscpfs portion works fine as a standalone worklist SCP when queried from a worklist SCU.

I've followed all instructions in the wwwapp.txt file.
When I point my browser at ~/cgi-bin/dcmtk_wlm/main.pl, the page appears but I see no Available Storage Areas (see image below).
When I point my browser at ~/cgi-bin/dcmtk_wlm/worklist.pl (or any other .pl), I get a "Password Invalid" message (see image below).

I am using Ubuntu server 10 OS, Apache2, PHP5, Perl 5.10.1.
I did not compile the program myself (I installed on Ubuntu using "apt-get install dcmtk" and "apt-get install "dcmtk-www").
I get the same results (No Available Storage Areas) in Mozilla Firefox 5.0, and Internet Explorer 8.0, from multiple http client systems.

My directory structure (/usr/lib/dcmtk/cgi-bin/prefs.ph references each of these):
/var/www/cgi-bin/dcmtk_wlm/ (cgi-scripts are here, all users have full permissions [chmod -R 777]
/var/www/wlist/ (HTML/GIF folder, all users have full permissions [chmod -R 777])
/var/www/wlist/data/ (worklist storage folder, all users have full permissions [chmod -R 777])

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Could you please provide the output of "ls -lR /var/www/wlist/data/" and "cat prefs.ph" (without the longish copyright header of course).

Where are the sub-directories for each supported AE title? See section 5 (CREATE STORAGE AREAS) in "wwwapps.txt".

# RELATIVE path to the WWW html directory, as seen by httpd
$prefs{'html_path'} = '/usr/share/dcmtk/www/';

Also this does not seem to be a relative path and it is also different from the one in your previous posting ("/var/www/wlist/"). Nevertheless, the OFFIS logo was found (i.e. is visible), so this does not seem to be an issue ...

[toddboyland]

Somehow I had 2 prefs.ph files & it turns out I was editing the wrong one.
So the relative www path was pointing to the wrong path.
Working now.
Thank you for pointing that out, I appreciate the help.
