TeX filter still acting funny

TeX filter still acting funny

I posted in the general forum already, and Mauno and Marc, who seem to be experts with this stuff, gave me some advice.

I wanted to follow up with more detail, to know exactly where the problem is.

First, we just upgraded to the most recent stable build of 1.7.5+. And after the upgrade, all of my beautiful equations "disappeared." They are still properly entered if I edit the resource/post, but in the page/forum itself there is a space.

I ran this "http://-our moodle server-/filter/tex/texdebug.php". And every time I get the following error message.
DB cache_filters entry for \frac{x}{y} not found

-or-

sh: /usr/moodle/cwa/filter/tex/mimetex.linux: Permission denied


The shell command
"/usr/moodle/cwa/filter/tex/mimetex.linux" -e
"/usr/moodle_data/cwa/filter/tex/5268a594bf38cb0fdd461f258fefe10d.gif"
'\Large \frac{x}{y}'
returned status = 126

File size of mimetex executable /usr/moodle/cwa/filter/tex/mimetex.linux is 491043
The file permissions are: 100644
The md5 checksum of the file is c294ab11905323bb5cb0f451241bedc1
Image not found!

I do not have access to the server, since it is hosted off-site. So, while I am asking the host to check permissions on the filter/tex folder, is there anything else I can do from my end to fix this?

Try to explain it to a 3rd grader because I am a total n00b.


Thanks! (especially Mauno and Marc big grin)
