351 <h2>Debugging Help</h2>
352 </a>
353 <p>First a brief overview of how the TeX filter works. The TeX filter first
354 searches the database cache_filters table to see if this TeX expression had been
355 processed before. If not, it adds a DB entry for that expression. It then
356 replaces the TeX expression by an &lt;img src=&quot;.../filter/tex/pix.php...&quot;&gt;
357 tag. The filter/tex/pix.php script then searches the database to find an
358 appropriate gif/png/svg image file for that expression and to create one if it doesn't exist.
359 It will then use either the LaTex/Ghostscript renderer (using external executables
360 on your system) or the bundled Mimetex executable. The full Latex/Ghostscript
361 renderer produces better results and is tried first.
362 Here are a few common things that can go wrong and some suggestions on how
363 you might try to fix them.</p>
364 <ol>
365 <li>Something had gone wrong on a previous occasion when the filter tried to
366 process this expression. Then the database entry for that expression contains
367 a bad TeX expression in the rawtext field (usually blank). You can fix this
368 by clicking on &quot;Delete DB Entry&quot;</li>
369 <li>The TeX to gif/png/svg image conversion process does not work.
370 If paths are specified in the filter configuation screen for the three
371 executables these will be tried first. Note that they still must be correctly
372 installed and have the correct permissions. In particular make sure that you
373 have all the packages installed (e.g., on Debian/Ubuntu you need to install
374 the 'tetex-extra' package). Running the 'show command execution' test should
375 give a big clue.
376 If this fails or is not available, the Mimetex executable is tried. If this
377 fails a likely cause is that the mimetex binary you are using is
378 incompatible with your operating system. You can try compiling it from the
379 C sources downloaded from <a href="http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip">
380 http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip</a>.
381 Another possible problem which may affect
382 both Unix and Windows servers is that the web server doesn't have execute permission
383 on the mimetex binary. In that case change permissions accordingly</li>
384 </ol>
