Note: The difference between the normal and the -allinone version is that the -allinone has the jpgraph package included as this package is not available as RPM.

Unpack the archive:

tar jxf fusionforge-4.X.X.tar.bz2
cd fusionforge-4.X.X

Add run the installation script:

./install.sh <hostname with domain>

The software will be installed in /opt/gforge and the configuration files will be installed in /etc/gforge.

Note: A Yum repository for RPM based packages is planned, volunteers needed.

how to get jpgraph working

Jpgraph is a graphic library used to render report or other graph in Fusionforge. jpgraph is not available thru yum. FusionForge is using old jpgraph version. The best solution is to install the allinone archive. But that is not enough. You also need to modify your php.ini. Jpgraph is not output_buffering friendly. Comment the line output_buffering which is activate by default in your php.ini and restart your httpd service.
