I Installed the Server following the instructions. But instead of compiling the 
test-input i get:

>>
GHwuFbBo8gWde34X5jpjwAyz6Ck_ 1 failure 1277453312 InternalError Failed to mount 
the home directories
>>

I'm using version 0.2.4 on a SLES.


I would be glad for some hints,

thanks in advance

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a Latex Document with an .EPS file included
2. Submit a request with the needed files (the latex doc, the .eps file). The 
request can be for a PS, PDF or PNG.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You should see the picture in the PS file. Instead I can't even open the PS 
file. If I do it with PDF or PNG, the picture is missing.


The problem is the following:
In the Latex-To-DVI compilation, the EPS file is not included, hence the 
converter which converts the DVI to PS/PDF/PNG needs it. But the converter only 
has the path to the .dvi file as an command line argument. It will look in the 
directory from where it is called for the .eps file.

What needs to be done is either changing the directory to the /home/id 
directory before calling the converter, or set an environment variable in case 
of the dvips converter (http://tex.loria.fr/prod-graph/dvips.pdf).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install clsi according to 
http://code.google.com/p/common-latex-service-interface/wiki/InstallAndConfig
2. test the installation with the xml file given on this site

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The response should be an XML document indicating a status of success. 
The response is:
<?php
    require_once('./clsi/ClsiService.php');
    require_once('./clsi/Configuration.php');

    /**
     * The CLSI service page.
     */

    set_time_limit(constant('maxExecutionSeconds'));
    $request = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
    $prefix = 'request=';
    if (strpos($request, $prefix) === 0) {
        $request = urldecode(substr($request, strlen($prefix)));
    }
    if ($request) {
        try {
            $clsisvc = new ClsiService();
            $response = $clsisvc->processRequest($request);
            echo $response;
        } catch (Exception $x) {
            file_put_contents(constant('tempPath') . 'error', $x->getMessage());
        }
    }

?>

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SuSe SLES 11

Is there something I've overseen? I followed all steps from the 
"InstallAndConfig" page.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  From docs.latexlabs.org, use a Third party CLSI compiler with the following 
compiler settings:
URL:            http://leader.serveftp.com:59595/clsi/service.php
TOKEN:       1234567890
OUTPUT:     http://leader.serveftp.com:59595/clsi/out/
COMPILER: latex

2.  Try to compile a simple document.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A png image displayed by docs.latexlabs.org

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, Apache2, PHP5, clsi.server.php.0.2.4.wtl

Please provide any additional information below.
I've setup a wonderful CLSI server at 
http://leader.serveftp.com:59595/clsi/service.php but I'm having trouble 
getting it to play nicely with latexlab.org.  I've double checked the Install 
and Setup for CLSI and can successfully test it locally and from an external 
IP.  Do you know of any compatibility issues?  Thanks for working on the 
software and for any other assistance you can provide.

I have installed CLSI server on ubuntu and its working fine. Thanks :)

Im facing the following problems:
1. When i pass a latex doc to server through service.html and try to generate 
png/dvi/ps the file gets generated with a success status but looks very screwed 
up. When i tried to pass it through latexlab.org it works fine. I think its the 
document width thats screwing it. How do i pass document type like A4 and 
width, height etc in request? are there any optional parameters in request? or 
is it part of latex doc? im asking this since i dont have indepth knowledge of 
latex.

2. And im not able to generate pdf. It says "PDF converter returned error 
status of 1". Any help? :(

3. Is clsi.server.php.0.2.8.wtl.tar.gz the latest package available for CLSI or 
is there anyother available somewherelse? Is this 
https://github.com/scribtex/clsi the latest? where is the CLSI server part 
there?
