Problems running the generator on my Mac

[Michael]

Hi, I installed fontforge via macports.

Using the generator via command line works like a charme:

php convert.php --fontforge /opt/local/bin/fontforge -u "U+??" /
Volumes/Data/Users/michael/Documents/Fonts/myFont.ttf 1>
MyFont.font.js

is generating the js font in the generate directory.

But I need to use the webinterface for setting up customs settings.

After fixing permissions in this directory:
/var/folders/zg/7y40p7cj53vgfn3d6k7v42yr0000gn/T/

I’m getting no more errors, but the script continues to exit with
status 5 »The file you uploaded could not be converted«.

Below the output of my php_error.log

Any ideas?

Problem solved. I switched from MAMP to the internal apache delivered
with OS X for this particular task.
After activating PHP my Javascript fonts are generated just as
expected.

Don’t know what’s the problem with MAMP. Seems that I’m encountering
some weird permission issues?!?
