Has anybody else experienced this problem? I've searched through the discussion group and found no mention of it.
I'm still using V1.6 of WeBWorK. The server is refusing to deliver a PDF hard copy in ALL WeBWorK courses? Enclosed below are 3 clues:
1) feedback from the request for hard copy in pdf format.
2) corresoponding message in error_log
3) subroutine in welcomeAction.pl that is referenced in the error message
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1)----------welcomeAction.pl creates the following HTML page:
Error: /home/webwork/www/webwork/system/cgi/cgi-scripts/welcomeAction.pl
Unable to create PDF output using makePDF file:
/home/webwork/www/webwork/system/scripts/makePDF /home/webwork/www/webwork/system/courses/Mett_Calc155_Spring02/html/tmp/ setCalc3ShortCuts.tempTex-CGIscript-1 1&2
Error is: Bad file number
2)--------------------error_log gives the following message:
ERROR (/home/webwork/www/webwork/system/cgi/cgi-scripts/welcomeAction.pl)
Wed Mar 6 15:07:57 2002: at /home/webwork/www/webwork/system/cgi/cgi-scripts/welcomeAction.pl line 581
---------------The "offending" code in welcomeAction.pl is in the pdfPrint
subroutine below. Line 581 is the one that begins with "system .."
3) ------------
sub pdfPrint {
system( "${scriptDirectory}makePDF $tempDirectory ${texFile}$psvn 1&2" ) ==
0
or wwerror("$0", "Unable to create PDF output using makePDF file:
${
scriptDirectory}makePDF $tempDirectory ${texFile}$psvn 1&2
Error is: $!", ""
, "");
open(INPUT, "$tempDirectory${texFile}$psvn.pdf")
|| wwerror("$0", "Can't open $tempDirectory${texFile}$psvn.pdf: $!\n",""
,"");
print "Content-disposition: attachment; filename= \"${login_name_for_psv
n}_Set${setNumber}.pdf"\n";
print "Content-type: application/pdf\n\n" ;
while () {
print;
}
close INPUT;
print STDERR "Finished TeX $texFile for $login_name_for_psvn in $Course\n" if $debugON;
}
