forgot to mention: * the instructions are for a unix/linux/macosx server but should be only slightly different under Windows * you need to make sure that the user which runs the php process has access to the jar files and has write permission to the directory where the files will be generated. In my case its the same user running the Apache process. * in any case, Apache expects a .svg or .svgz file extension, so in case your SVG content is dynamically created by a script, be sure that in your URL, it ends with .svg, e.g. some.php?param1=123¶m2=2341234&format=.svg - note that format is just a dummy parameter, but the .svg is what counts
