Hello all,I have a standard Apache install with php and mysql support. Everythingis working great except ghostscript. I have narrowed down to the fact that I need to set the path to ghostscript in an apache config file.
Do you mean the ghostscript executable, or the libraries that PHP would need to access?
i am not really sure where to do this can anyone help me out. This is setup for no virutal hosts just one standard site hosted in /var/www
Which operating system? There are subtle differences between UNIX- like flavors.
In general, Apache will have the executable PATH available as set by its calling shell. If you want to add to that (for instance to point to the ghostscript installation path) you can set
PATH=/path/to/your/ghostscript/bin:$PATH in the script that starts Apache.If you need access to the libraries, there are several ways. By default, your OS will search a standard set of directories for shared libraries (like /usr/lib, perhaps /usr/local/lib). You can add to that collection in an OS specific way (see ld.so(8) and ldconfig(8)), or set and export the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the shell that starts Apache.
Hope that helps you on your way. S. -- sctemme@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.temme.net/sander/ PGP FP: 51B4 8727 466A 0BC3 69F4 B7B8 B2BE BC40 1529 24AF
