Debugging Help
First here is a brief overview on how the algebra filter works. It
takes an algebra expression and first translates it into TeX. It first
looks for the TeX translation in the Moodle database in the table cache_filters
in the field rawtext. If not found, it passes the algebraic expression to the
Perl script algebra2tex.pl, which also uses the Perl library AlgParser.pm.
It then saves the TeX translation in the database for subsequent uses and
passes the TeX to the mimetex executable to be converted to a gif image.
Here are a few common things that can go wrong and some suggestions on how
you might try to fix them.
- Something had gone wrong on a previous occasion when the filter tried to
translate this expression. Then the database entry for that expression contains
a bad TeX translation in the rawtext field (usually blank). You can fix this
by clicking on "Delete DB Entry"
- The First Stage TeX Translation gives a "No text output available"
message. If your server is running Windows, this may be due to the fact that
you haven't installed Perl or didn't install it correctly. If your server is
running some version of Unix (e.g. Linux), then this may be due to your Perl
binary being installed in a nonstandard location. To fix this edit the first
line of the algebra2tex.pl script. Another possible problem which may affect
both Unix and Windows servers is that the web server doesn't have execute permission
on the algebra2tex.pl script. In that case change permissions accordingly
- The Second Stage TeX Translation produces malformed TeX. This indicates
a bug in the algebra filter. Post the original algebraic expression and the
bad TeX translation in the
Mathematics Tools forum in the Using Moodle course on moodle.org.
- The TeX to gif image conversion process does not work. If your server is
running Unix, a likely cause is that the mimetex binary you are using is
incompatible with your operating system. You can try compiling it from the
C sources downloaded from
http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip, or looking for an appropriate
binary at
http://moodle.org/download/mimetex/. You may then also need to
edit your moodle/filter/algebra/pix.php file to add
to the list of operating systems
in the switch (PHP_OS) statement. Windows users may have a problem properly
unzipping mimetex.exe. Make sure that mimetex.exe is is PRECISELY
433152 bytes in size. If not, download fresh copy from
http://moodle.org/download/mimetex/windows/mimetex.exe. Lastly check
the execute permissions on your mimetex binary, as outlined in item 2 above.
