Subject: [Instiki] Application Error and basic questions
Message-ID: <4B1DACEB.5070803@wmsduo.com>


I am getting the 500 error which says


  Application error (Apache)

Something /very bad/ just happened. I just /know it/. Do you smell smoke?

I have looked in the FAQ and archive but the only answer I found was 
deleting the cache and/or log but neither of these resolved the problem.

Here is some background.

I installed instiki and it seeed to work fine.  I created a doze pages 
and pasted some data into most of them.  I rebooted the machine acting 
as the instiki server and restarted the instiki only to receive this 
error message.

I am curious how the instiki stores the pages generated with it.  I 
cannot find the pages anywhere except under the cache folder. 

I am running the instiki straight without an Apache server despite the 
error saying (Apache).  The computer is a quad core running Windows XP 
Professional.

I am a software engineer and consider myself reasonably savvy but the 
instiki software is new to me.

Thanks
Mike Williams

hi there mike,
which version of ruby are you running?
and can you maybe paste your last logfile info to http://pastie.org so we
can take a look?

pages are stored in the database, if you did not customize it that might be
sqlite3.

But there are lots of possible sources of 500 errors.

Do you get this with every page?

Since it seemed to work for you, initially, there's every reason to expect that we can get it working for you, again.

First of all, could I ask you to upgrade, either to the current release (0.17.3), or to a preview of the 0.18 release:

    http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/code/instiki-svn.tar.gz

What error(s) are recorded in log/production.log when you do this?

What OS & Ruby version are you using?

Message-ID: <31624153-CC9A-46B4-AE4C-4988E7F8650E@golem.ph.utexas.edu>

New features include automatic syntax colouring (html', 'xml', 'ruby', 'ansic', 'javascript', 'sqlite', 'yaml' and'css' modes are supported), a new source view, and auto-resizing Textareas which scale to fit viewing area. Instiki has been upgraded to Rails 2.3.5 and Rack 1.1. It now runs on Ruby 1.9. (If you're a Passenger user, you may need to upgrade to Passenger 2.2.8, which works around some bugs in Ruby 1.9.1.) And it's been upgraded for itex2MML 1.3.19 (which works under Ruby 1.9, and has several new feautures, relative to 1.3.15).

As you might expect, there's been a slew of bugfixes, too. See the CHANGELOG for details.

As always, you should 

    rake upgrade_instiki

after installing the new version.

Message-ID: <6657df8b0912301157x2f279cdbt545b640fa547f1a6@mail.gmail.com>

I am trying to display an equation using Markdown+blahtex/PNG in
Instiki 0.18.  Blahtex is compiled from blahtexml-0.7-corrected-src.

I tried
$ \begin{aligned} ... \end{aligned} $
and
\$ \begin{aligned} ... \end{aligned} \$

Both expressions return a page with the apache error "Internal Error
An application error occurred while processing your request".

The Instiki error in the first case is:

RuntimeError (No depth element in:
 <blahtex>
<png>
<error><id>CannotRunLatex</id><message>Cannot run latex</message></error>
</png>
</blahtex>


The Instiki error in the second case is:

RuntimeError (Blahtex error:
<blahtex>
<error><id>IllegalFinalBackslash</id><message>Illegal backslash "\" at
end of input</message></error>
</blahtex>


Am I using the wrong syntax?

I'm using Gentoo and TeX Live 2008 is installed.

/usr/local/bin/blahtex is in the command path.

Running blahtex from the command line works.  The following simple
test produces correct PNG output.
# echo '\sqrt{x^2+\alpha}' | blahtex --png

The Apache VirtualHost is configured as follows:

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /files !
ProxyPass / http://localhost:2500/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:2500/

I believe the options (set in vendor/plugins/maruku/lib/maruku/ext/math/mathml_engines/blahtex.rb) are:

  blahtex --png --use-preview-package --shell-dvipng 'dvipng -D 200'

Does that work?

I'm not really the expert on the blahtex filter. I'll ask Ari Stern, who is.

They DO get logged.

But there's a timeout feature, whereby successive 'save's by the same
author, within 30 minutes, do not get logged as distinct revisions.

There are lots reasons motivating this. The one most relevant to you
is that it encourages the author to 'save' frequently, preventing data-
loss (either due to a crashed browser, or a crashed application). If
you don't like 30 minutes, you could, of course, dive into the code
and change that number.

I am getting the 500 error which says


  Application error (Apache)

Something /very bad/ just happened. I just /know it/. Do you smell smoke?

I have looked in the FAQ and archive but the only answer I found was
deleting the cache and/or log but neither of these resolved the problem.

Here is some background.

I installed instiki and it seeed to work fine.  I created a doze pages
and pasted some data into most of them.  I rebooted the machine acting
as the instiki server and restarted the instiki only to receive this
error message.

I am curious how the instiki stores the pages generated with it.  I
cannot find the pages anywhere except under the cache folder.

I am running the instiki straight without an Apache server despite the
error saying (Apache).  The computer is a quad core running Windows XP
Professional.

I am a software engineer and consider myself reasonably savvy but the
instiki software is new to me.

Thanks
Mike Williams

New features include automatic syntax colouring (html', 'xml', 'ruby', 'ansic', 'javascript', 'sqlite', 'yaml' and'css' modes are supported), a new source view, and auto-resizing Textareas which scale to fit viewing area. Instiki has been upgraded to Rails 2.3.5 and Rack 1.1. It now runs on Ruby 1.9. (If you're a Passenger user, you may need to upgrade to Passenger 2.2.8, which works around some bugs in Ruby 1.9.1.) And it's been upgraded for itex2MML 1.3.19 (which works under Ruby 1.9, and has several new feautures, relative to 1.3.15).

As you might expect, there's been a slew of bugfixes, too. See the CHANGELOG for details.

As always, you should

    rake upgrade_instiki

after installing the new version.

Subject: [Instiki] blahtex in Instiki 0.18

I am trying to display an equation using Markdown+blahtex/PNG in
Instiki 0.18.  Blahtex is compiled from blahtexml-0.7-corrected-src.

I tried
$ \begin{aligned} ... \end{aligned} $
and
\$ \begin{aligned} ... \end{aligned} \$

Both expressions return a page with the apache error "Internal Error
An application error occurred while processing your request".

The Instiki error in the first case is:

RuntimeError (No depth element in:
 <blahtex>
<png>
<error><id>CannotRunLatex</id><message>Cannot run latex</message></error>
</png>
</blahtex>


The Instiki error in the second case is:

RuntimeError (Blahtex error:
<blahtex>
<error><id>IllegalFinalBackslash</id><message>Illegal backslash "\" at
end of input</message></error>
</blahtex>


Am I using the wrong syntax?

I'm using Gentoo and TeX Live 2008 is installed.

/usr/local/bin/blahtex is in the command path.

Running blahtex from the command line works.  The following simple
test produces correct PNG output.
# echo '\sqrt{x^2+\alpha}' | blahtex --png

The Apache VirtualHost is configured as follows:

ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /files !
ProxyPass / http://localhost:2500/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:2500/


Thanks,
Peter

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I was missing the preview-latex package which is required by the
blahtex option --use-preview-package.  The solution in Gentoo is to
"emerge dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra" which contains the preview
package.
