[SOLVED] Graph error in v7.6.8
Hello all,

We just went from 7.1.4 to 7.6.8 and we're getting the following error when we're trying to display a graph:

gif output is not supported in the JVM headless mode

We just started looking into this, but does anyone have any ideas? We're up to speed as far as Java is concerned accordiung to the doc.

Thanks!

This is all documented in chapter 5 of the Installation manual. It appears that your application server has not been properly configured yet. Here's the proper entry for Tomcat's catalina.sh file:

export JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Djava.awt.headless=true"

For other app servers - check the manual


Regards,

Darin

All,

According to the WF 7.6 Installation guide in the 'Verifying and Troubleshooting Server Side Graphics (PCHOLD)' section under 'Headless Java VM Options', GIF files are not supported.

I changed all GIF output to PNG and it works.
