[Lychee 5.3.0] How to config exiftool...

[vuongquoc]

Hi,
I'm a noobie on coding and i'm stuck with decoding GPS info so i though i could give ExifTool enable a try...
So i've installed ExifTool in /perl/usr/bin
but when i enable it in settings, i can not upload pictures anymore...
Error Logs create 2 new errors:

---

128:/home/whcallo6t34w/public_html/bachda.xyz/app/Jobs/ProcessImageJob.php Given path () to the exiftool binary is invalid
Context:

[
{
"file": "...../vendor/lychee-org/php-exif/lib/PHPExif/Adapter/Exiftool.php",
"line": 101,
"function": "setToolPath",
"class": "PHPExif\Adapter\Exiftool",
"type": "->"
},
...
And alot more after that

and this

---

PHPExif\Adapter\Exiftool::setToolPath:48 Given path () to the exiftool binary is invalid
App\Metadata\Extractor::createFromFile:98 Given path () to the exiftool binary is invalid; caused by

So, what and where should i config/change/edit to enable the exiftool?

I've tried to edit the path in Exiftool.php

---

protected string $toolPath = '/home/*****/perl/usr/bin/';

and the above 2 errors is no longer happen when i upload new picture and i can upload picture but another error is

---

PHPExif\Adapter\Exiftool::getExifFromFile:154 Could not decode exiftool output
App\Metadata\Extractor::createFromFile:98 Could not decode exiftool output; caused by

So i think there must be configured somewhere...

Please help me if you have any spare time...

Thank you.

I don't suppose you have SSH access? If so, try running your version of exiftool manually and see what the output looks like.
