Purpose
The Patient Set Viewer and other ACT software requires a working directory. Here the software creates and updates files for background jobs, caching, and other tasks. The software needs create and write access to this working directory.
Access
In the ACT_config.php file, we have provided a default location for your working directory. It is: /opt/viewer_jobs. You have to provide the correct access by running the chmod command as shown.
chmod 777 /opt/viewer_jobs
Optional: Create your own working directory
Only if you want to create and use your own path/directory for the working directory follow these two steps. Otherwise the Working Directory step is now complete.
First, in the root of your ACT Web Client directory edit the ACT_config.php file. Change the working_directory to the path and directory name you plan on using
return array(
'shrine_url' => 'your_SHRINE_URL_here',
'working_directory' => '/opt/viewer_jobs',
'site_name' => 'Partners',
'debug_logging' => true,
'shrine_connector_logging' => false,
'patient_list_exporter_logging' => false
);
Second, create the directory with correct access settings:
mkdir /opt/viewer_jobs chmod -R a+w /opt/viewer_jobs
NO HTTP(S) access
Make sure web (HTTP) access is not allowed to this directory
Storage Needs
At least 0.5 Gigabyte of space is recommended for your working directory
