<<< guess IX Web Hosting does not include LaTeX to their services but you could ask from your
host if they have installed some TeX distribution.>>>
Should I provide any more information so that I appear to know what I am talking about?
IX has been pretty accommodating when I asked. In the past I have kicked my self for not asking
IX sooner because they took care of whatever I wanted immediately,
<<<If moodle does not find latex binary files, dvips binary files or convert binary files from the given paths (or you have not used symbolic links) moodle tries to use executable files (mimetex.exe , mimetex.linux ... ) from your moodle folder filter/tex and you may need to change permissions of these files (to allow visitors to execute mimetex file)>>>
I went and changed all permissions on the mimetex files to allow.

Went into mdata/temp/latex/ and changed permissions of the folder as well as every single file in the folder to allow all.

Yep, I had seen this.
My journey into all this started when I raised the issue of how spaces are stripped out of forum messages, even non-breaking spaces. And I also saw that discussion you mentioned. Since I teach chemistry I thought that this would be worth pursuing, particularly since I have some time during the holiday break.
Thanks,
Jeff
PS. How come one cannot rate posts in this forum?
