I will post a new version asap. Thanks to shrike I found a few issues. I'm gonna leave out any font requirements as they seem to cause issues (the illegal image size). Also, make sure that the /cache dir is accesible, meaning not blocked by a htaccess - this path should be changed to somewhere inside /public or a subdir to /cache in the future.

A small offtopic:
/cache should never be publicly accessible because activeCollab cache may contain some sensitive data. In activeCollab 1.1 we'll include two more directories:
/work - for system level work folder
/public/work - as publicly accessible work folder
Please note that publicly accessible data should have some sort of protection (still, you are displaying sensitive data on charts). You can check /public/thumbs.php to see how thumbnail utility is implemented - in order to access a file you need to know it's exact file size - information that is hard to obtain if you don't have direct access to the files (hard to guess), but simple to obtain from the script.
Just something to think about :)
Thanks for all your hard work!

My tweaks were:
MySQL statement
-------------------------------
Changed from:
INSERT INTO modules values ( 'charts' , 0 , 100 );
To:
INSERT INTO acx_modules values ( 'charts' , 0 , 100 );
Examples
---------------------------
Searched for:
Milestone
Replace all with:
JPMilestone
Note: The Ganttex01.php needed the two "src" items changed to ".."
Fonts
--------------------
I created a directory inside "jpgraph" called "fonts"
Googling, I found the needed JPGraph fonts are:
arial.ttf
arialbd.ttf
ariali.ttf
bookant.ttf
bookantbd.ttf
bookantbi.ttf
bookanti.ttf
comic.ttf
comicbd.ttf
courier.ttf
courierbd.ttf
courierbi.ttf
courieri.ttf
handwriting.ttf
tahoma.ttf
tahomabd.ttf
times.ttf
timesbd.ttf
timesbi.ttf
timesi.ttf
verdana.ttf
verdanab.ttf
verdanabd.ttf
verdanai.ttf
I made sure the absolute directory path was correct so in my case, I changed the following in the "jp-config.inc.php" file located in activecollab/application/modules/charts/helpers/jpgraph/ from:
DEFINE("TTF_DIR","/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/");
to:
DEFINE("TTF_DIR","/mywebdirectory/into/activecollab/application/modules/charts/helpers/jpgraph/fonts/");
I tried a relative path and the examples were loading but not the client side graphs.

The image path for the gantt chart doesn't seem correct
<h2 class="section_name"><span class="section_name_span">Generated chart</span></h2>
<div id="section_container">
<img src="/cache/26927b2572e268d373692af533b881f2.png" alt="JPGraph Generated Chart" />
</div>
I will test with an absolute path to the cache

Beware of table prefix, as it may not always be "acx_" (if you're releasing it to the public).

One minor detail: if you have a very long project, there should be ability open chart in bigger window to display all milestones as many months ahead as needed. Or then there should be scroll under the chartview.
