Question

I have an odd situation. I'm using the LatexModePlugin and it works successfully on any topic other than the actual plugin topic itself. I've run the relock=rcs from my browser to make sure that the LatexModePlugin topic wasn't still locked (as they usually are after you install a plugin). That didn't fix it. I can copy and paste the same code from the LatexModePlugin topic page into any other page in my wiki and it will display correctly. See the attached images for the examples of the error I'm seeing in the LatexModePlugin topic itself.

• This is how it looks in the LatexModePlugin topic:
  

• This list of error messages is at the bottom of the LatexModePlugin topic page:
  

FYI, I'm emailing ScottHoge (plugin author) with the link to this topic, hopefully he will be able to answer this question. Regardless, putting the question here seemed the most appropriate thing to do. Thanks.

Hi Amanda,

I believe this is an issue with the permissions problem of the pub/TWiki/LatexModePlugin directory. You should be able to work around the problem by changing ownership of the directory to give TWikiGuest (or the uid that apache is running as) write access.

At some point, I'll find a way to solve this on the release side of things. It may be awhile, though.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I forgot to follow up earlier. This worked like a charm.
