[rt-users] rt 3.8.1: Graphical charts are not available. error

[Eli Altman]

AFAIK GraphViz is only used to show relationship charts for dependencies, linked tickets, etc.  Instead GD is used for displaying charts based on ticket search results (GD::Graph)  Am I wrong?  I assume Graphs based on ticket search results was working before the upgrade.  Try adding this to your RT_SiteConfig:

Set($DisableGD, 0);

or

Set($DisableGD, undef);

If that doesn't work after an apache restart, there are other things to try.  Also if someone out there knows, does --enable-gd during RT configure simply set the DisableGD value in RT_Config to undef or 1?

Subject: [rt-users] rt 3.8.1: Graphical charts are not available. error

Hi folks,

I hope this is the right list to submit my quesstion.  Sorry in advance
if it isn't.

I upgraded to rt 3.8.1 last month and when I try to plot (bar or pie)
the output of ticket searches
I get the error "Graphical charts are not available".

I looked in the archives and saw the following "Re: Hierarchy View in
3.8" by Helmuth Ramirez.
Following this thread I did the following:

- installed graphviz  from http://www.graphviz.org/ using
       yum install 'graphviz*'

  I got the error: yum install graphviz-php.i386  <-- missing dependency
graphviz = 2.16-1.el5 is
  needed by package graphviz-php

  So I then -

- downloaded the source from http://www.graphviz.org/  and installed it.

- "yum install webdot" and did a

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install GraphViz'

- ran the command "dot -c" in an xterm.

rebooted the system and still no luck.

I see the following in the apache2.access log file but nothing looks
like a glaring reason why
it won't graph:

There doesn't seem like there needs to be an entry for this in the
RT_SiteConfig.pm file in order
to get this to work but I could be missing the bleeding obvious.

All suggestions welcome!

thanks.
