Problem with text in images built with GD
Hi all!
I have just installed the last stable version of Pandora 1.3 on my Fedora 7 system.
Everything works but I have problems with GD. I have installed GD and php-gd from the official Fedora repository. Images are built fine in the php page and render the effective status of systems, but no text is show as legend.
For example, going on the “Pandora agents > Tactical View” menu I can see the Tactical Indicator but under the red, black and blue triangles no text is shown.
What should I do?Thank in advance for your help,
Robb. -

Well,
I have done what you have suggested but I am not able to write it in this post because of the user accounts restrictions of this forum.
Have you got an email which I can use?Thanks a lot for your help,
Robb
P.S.: I am sorry because of the two discussions opened, but I did not know what was the right section.

Because of the problem written in the previous post, I have sent you the entry added to the access_log by the h t t p d server after the “View Image” action via pm.
The error_log instead does not show any entry as pandora_server.error and pandora_server.log.
Thanks for your help,
Robb

That’s the access_log entry finally!

Now I have just installed php* and perl* from the repository. Nothing… It is the only problem I have with Fedora. I have written a guide for the installation of Pandora on Fedora step by step too, but It is useless to share it with the world if I cannot solve this problem.
Could my step by step howto help with the diagnostic? -

It was a font_path problem.
I have studied the fgraph.php code concerning the odo_tactic graph building type.
This function loads the font from the path specified in the variable $config_fontpath wrongly specified in the config.php file. I have corrected it specifing the correct path (the absolute path is /var/www/html/pandora_console/include) and now it works!I hope to have helped you too!

The variable in the config.php is
[code:1]$config_fontpath = $config_homedir.”/reporting/FreeSans.ttf”;
Where
[code:1]$config_homedir is set in the installation process.
The pandora_console file has the FreeSans.ttf in both places:
[code:1]/pandora_console/reporting/FreeSans.ttf
/pandora_console/include/FreeSans.ttfSo, I don’t know why you have this problem and you have solved it by changing the path to another place where it’s the same file!

Oh! Yes, you are in right! I have seen that the font is in both the two directories.
Sorry, I have to correct myself.
The problem was in the construction of the $config_fontpath, but recursively, I found the mistake in the $config_homedir. During the setup process I left if as default (/var/www/pandora_console/) while it should be /var/www/html/pandora_console.Well, surely it is not a software bug, but probably other persons could find this error. So that, it could be useful to check it before gonig mad with probably uninstalled dependencies as happened to me.

😀 Sure, a lot of people doesn’t read the instructions :-D.
I quote the text included in the install.php file:
[code:1]
Full path to HTTP publication directory
For example /var/www/pandora_console/. Needed for graphs and attachments.Raúl
