Hi All
I have installed Moodle on Shared Webhosting Account from cPanel as mydomain.com/moodle
While creating Mathematics courses, I need to use Latex. Currently I am using Mimtex. I have changed permission of respective file in filters/tex from 0644 to 0755. (Will this impact site security?)
Anyone can help me to install Latex on the server? There are two cross in Tex Notation Filter. So I guess this means latex binary files are not there.
One thing which is quite easy and doesn't need you install anything on the server is to use mathjax. You only need to put a small code snipped into the HEAD part of html.
I really think that Gunnar is right and that MathJax is the way to go
And this is even more evident if your Moodle is hosted on a shared server because Mathjax files will not come from your server but from cdn.mathjax.org.
The quality of the formulas with MathJax is also a lot better than with mimetex.
Hi
Thanks for quick reply.
Can you provide the code and file where to put the code. Any link with step by step procedure?
Thanks
No, as the docs indicate, the red x means that moodle can't find the pertinent binary. I suggest you address the ifs and wheres to you webhost or edit AdditionalHtml as suggested (and add the refs to jsxgraph while you are at it. There are limits to what mathjax can do, so if you need to you can always to a texlive install on your share and make use of it (though note that the tex filter has not been upgraded to take full advantage of texlive
Hi
Thanks for quick reply.
Can you guide me how to install texlive on shared webhosting?
I desperately need some good help!
Raj, what have you found out so far about installing texlive on shared hosting?
Hi Raj, I have not installed any binary. I downloaded Korpelainen Mauno mpluga.zip http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Advanced_Maths_Tools, and I extracted the folder "mathtran", and I got to the filter folder on my host. As administrator I activated and working properly latex.
