You can see a brief video demonstration here:" https://mathapedia.com "The tool is based on Latex, HTML5, and JS, is on github (search for LaTeX2HTML5), and is BSD licensed." Dan is willing to give a demo and have a discussion with anyone interested next Wednesday morning, January 16, at 11am. Dan is very open to interacting with both developers and content authors. It might be really interesting, for example, to develop some circuits documents and/or exercises for our MAS-IC program (Brian: anybody else working on that who might be interested in this? If so, please forward this invitation.) "Dan showed me some of the JavaScript source code today, and it looks quite well architected, so extending it seems quite viable to me..." "Christopher: I know you are flat out overbooked, but when there is some breathing room, it would be good to replicate Dan's web server, which is based on nginx (and uses some javascript and database capabilities). Dan is currently running the mathapedia server above on a VM in the cloud." "If you are interested and can come to this, please let me know.."

Also, Dan has root via sudo) The rest is a part of the repo and can be installed more easily:cd /var/www/LaTeX2HTML5 npm install Dan: (STATUS: I've done this) Setting up nginx config filesis there a domain we can use? I can just create the config for this once we have a domain. Dan: (STATUS: will do as soon as we have a domain and all the above steps are complete) Create a mysql userDan: (STATUS: not done, do you have a root for this?) otherwise, if you need root access to mysql, can you create a new user like so: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON latex2html5_db.* TO latex2html5@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'skateboard321' WITH GRANT OPTION; Finish the mysql installationcd /etc/rc3.d ln ../init.d/mysqld S36mysqld /etc/init.d/mysqld start /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation The mysql root password is in [root@sisyphus rc3.d]# ls -l /var/lib/mysql/.my.cnf -rw------- 1 mysql root 39 Jan 14 19:33 /var/lib/mysql/.my.cnf To grant permissions to the above account: /usr/bin/mysql --user=root -p mysql then enter: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON latex2html5_db.* TO latex2html5@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'skateboard321' WITH GRANT OPTION; Installation continued (1/16/2013)As root, reference /usr/local/bin/npm install -g forever /usr/local/bin/npm install -g bbb Create the latex2html_db as the latex2html5 user.
