Assistance Required Please..........

[6719jason]

Evening all,

I have installed the JpGraph Package by Tnet Weather to my site, along with the relevant package, set up the Realtime.log, Realtimelog.php and other relevant tasks.
Yet, I cant seem to get it to work?

Could someone please help me with this?

Here you can see some of the outputs I recieve:

My site is hosted externally with Fractix.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Jason

I have not actually used the jpGraphs but I did look at them a few months ago. One of the pre-requisites is

* GD with FreeType support and the TTF Verdana loaded.

I think you problem is related to the fonts not being available on your server.

Also, does your host allow you to run a Cron job? From the very limited data on their site, I would guess not. If you can not use cron jobs then TNET JpGraphs are no good.

[6719jason]

Yup, Host allows many cron jobs and offers just about anything else you like.

Trouble is, I cannot place the font files in the 'Unix' Directory it requests.

I do have the truetype fonts it requests on the server, but I cannot get it to accept the path I specify.

Maybe I just cant use these due to my setup. Shame really. All of TnetWeather's other scripts work fine.

This one however has caused many hours of mayhem.

Thanks again Daj

Ok, I must be looking at the wrong site as the web page I saw for your provider mostly contained adverts -- LOL

Glad they let you use cron jobs. In which case they probably give you a virtual unix server meaning you should have full access to the /usr/share/fonts folder. You may need to create the truetype folder under it. Also, only your admin user will have access to this area so make sure you are using the correct account.

Sorry, probably telling you how to suck eggs here!!

This is covered in the PDF documentation on Page 8.

You just change the configuration file for JPGraphs to point to a directory you can use and put the font files there. You can have them just about anywhere you want them to be that you can write to.

[TNETWeather]

Modify the file

jpgraph/src/jpg-config.inc.php

in your webroot directory to be something like:

DEFINE("TTF_DIR","/home/sites/weeleyweatherstation.info/public_html/jpgraph/fonts");

and put the fonts into the

/home/sites/weeleyweatherstation.info/public_html/jpgraph/fonts directory

This is described in detail on page 8 of the PDF instructions.

[TNETWeather]

I changed your jpgraph config file jpg-config.inc.php to have the following in it:

Code: Select all

DEFINE("TTF_DIR","./fonts/");

I then copied the fonts you placed in your webroot into a directory called fonts off the main webroot directory:

Now your graphs look like:







You should remove the fonts you placed in your webroot as that will just clutter up your webroot area. They are now in a subdirectory called fonts.
