Question

When the BlackListPlugin is enabled, the LatexModePlugin generates images (they are in the /tmp dir), but the images in pub/... (with the correct names) are empty files, and so the alt text displays. My BlackListPlugin configuration has been just the one recommended in the install instructions. I hadn't added anything.

The problem occurs with both LatexModePlugin v. 2.50 and v. 2.51. I have BlackListPlugin 02 Jun 2006 (r10442). I have done chmod -R 775 twiki, and so this can't be a permissions problem.

I don't even know if this is a BlackListPlugin issue or a LatexModePlugin issue. My best guess is that BlackListPlugin interferes with TWiki::Func::saveAttachment, but I don't know how to pin it down.

TWiki version Wed, 08 Feb 2006 build 8740, Plugin API version 1.1

I have listed all plugins installed below, but the problem occurs even when all are disabled except for BlackListPlugin and LatexModePlugin.

It looks like you are bitten by TWiki Bugs:Item2390. The known issues section of the BlackListPlugin has this: "With TWiki 4.0.2 on some platforms, notably Solaris, attached files are uploaded with a zero file size. This is because there is a bug in how TWiki 4.0.2 handles the beforeAttachmentSaveHandler. If affected, upgrade TWiki or apply bug fix Item2390"
