MedDream for ClearCanvas Quick Install (IIS and Apache)


  GENERAL NOTES:

	Part of MedDream requires PHP compiled with VC6 runtime. The newer VC9 is
	not supported.


  WINDOWS (IIS/PHP) INSTALL:

	Note: it is assumed that PHP is already installed and working. Installation
	of PHP under IIS is outside the scope of this short memo.

1. Copy meddream folder to IIS_WWW_ROOT

      (so that the result is IIS_WWW_ROOT/meddream;
      for example, in our machines it usually is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\meddream.)

   Adjust permissions:

	the directories "meddream", "meddream\temp", "meddream\log" must be
	writeable by IIS (accounts IUSR_<machinename>, IWAM_<machinename>)

	if you need MPEG2 support, then cmd.exe must be readable by IIS
	(there is an explicit "Deny" permission by default)

  If you are updating an older version of MedDream:

      a) Please back up the old version (so you can go back any time).

      b) Please do not replace files you changed in last version. You must
         carefully synchronize the new version

2. From IIS_WWW_ROOT\meddream

	copy php5.2_meddream.dll to PHP_INSTALL_DIR\ext (if you are using PHP 5.2.x)
	copy php5.3_meddream.dll to PHP_INSTALL_DIR\ext (if you are using PHP 5.3.x)

3. Add extension=php5.2_meddream.dll to php.ini file (if you are using PHP 5.2.x)
   Add extension=php5.3_meddream.dll to php.ini file (if you are using PHP 5.3.x)

4. We recommend you to specify date.timezone in php.ini:

	[Date]
	; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
	date.timezone = "America/Chicago"

	(the list of possible values is at http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)

5. Edit IIS_WWW_ROOT/meddream/config.php file. Follow instructions inside
   the file. You will likely need to specify a port for database connection,
   like "localhost,1433".

6. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service

7. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1/meddream/home.php and use database accounts
   to log in


  WINDOWS (APACHE/PHP) INSTALL:

	Note: it is assumed that both IIS and Apache are installed and using
	different TCP/IP ports.

1. Copy meddream folder to APACHE_HTDOCS_DIR

      (so that the result is APACHE_HTDOCS_DIR/meddream;
      for example, in our machines it usually is C:\xampplite\htdocs\meddream.)

  If you are updating an older version of MedDream:

      a) Please back up the old version (so you can go back any time).

      b) Please do not replace files you changed in last version. You must
         carefully synchronize the new version

2. From APACHE_HTDOCS_DIR\meddream

	copy php5.2_meddream.dll to PHP_INSTALL_DIR\ext (if you are using PHP 5.2.x)
	copy php5.3_meddream.dll to PHP_INSTALL_DIR\ext (if you are using PHP 5.3.x)

3. Add extension=php5.2_meddream.dll to php.ini file (if you are using PHP 5.2.x)
   Add extension=php5.3_meddream.dll to php.ini file (if you are using PHP 5.3.x)

4. We recommend you to specify date.timezone in php.ini:

	[Date]
	; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
	date.timezone = "America/Chicago"

	(the list of possible values is at http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)

5. Edit APACHE_HTDOCS_DIR/meddream/config.php file. Follow instructions inside
   the file. You will likely need to specify a port for database connection,
   like "localhost,1433".

6. Restart Apache

7. Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:APACHE_PORT/meddream/home.php (do not forget
   the actual port that Apache runs on, and use database accounts to log in)
