Re: Strange things with MP2 and GD

I have had no problems using MP2 (ModPerl::Registry) and GD (well, Graph::Template, which uses GD::Graph which uses GD). I have a production site using it right now.

What sort of debugging have you done? Have you correctly set the content-type? That kind of stuff (if I remember correctly) changed slightly between MP1 and MP2 (well, Apache1 and Apache2, but same difference).

I have solved my problem by recompiling Apache without PHP and GD works now without trouble. So I think, it's effectivly a library path problem with the original gd library used by GD and an another one added by PHP install process (with gd support). Why does GD works correctly sometimes still a great mystery for me ... What kind of debugging could I try ? I have only checked Apache logs. Thanks all for your help (and for Graph::Template that I will try soon !)	[reply]

To end with that, the problem is effectively a lib one. PHP module has is own libgd version which is used when configure is invoked with '--with-gd'. So, when a CGI Perl invokes GD, some strange things occures. To avoid that without suppress PHP or PHP gd support, it's necessary to pass to configure '--with-gd=<path>' where <path> points to system directory where is the gd include directory and the libgd file. For me, I've used '--with-gd=/usr'. And no more strange things ! Thanks again -- poum	[reply]
