I have a python/django webapp running with apache2. It executes system commands for getting a pdf generated by pdflatex from a .tex file and a couple of image files which it also generates.
The permssions from ls-l for all the created files is:- -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data The files are being created in /tmp/pdfscratch{id} created from the script and so is the directory. pdflatex fails with the following error message:- This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) %&-line parsing enabled. entering extended mode ! I can't write on file `uber.log'. Please type another transcript file name: ! Emergency stop ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Its supposed to write to this directory. I have a feeling that pdflatex is trying to generate files using some weird access credentials that dont have access to /tmp/pdfscratch{id} What do you guys think could be the problem/solution Thanks in advance -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
