I can't help you setting up the renderserver (b/c I have no clue how to do it).

But first of all make sure that rendering articles works in principle.

Do this by running mw-render from the command line:

mw-render -w rl -o test.pdf -c http://en.wikipedia.org/w Water

If that works try rendering an article from your wiki. Do this by replacing URL and articletitle.

mw-render --help

might also be helpful.

Hi,

I'm running MediaWiki 1.16.2 and Collection 79875 on Ubuntu 8.04 and
recently installed mwlib and mwlib.rl according to this guide,
http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/Mediawiki_collection_extension_installation#mwlib_installation_on_Ubuntu.

In LocalSettings.php I wrote:
require_once("$IP/extensions/Collection/Collection.php");
$wgEnableApi = true;
$wgCollectionMWServeURL = "http://losmintos.de:8899";;

Then, via ssh, I start mw-serve with the following command:

mw-serve --cache-dir=/var/cache/mwcache/mwlibcache/ --logfile=/var/
cache/mwcache/logs/mwserve.log --mwrender-logfile=/var/cache/mwcache/
logs/mwrender.log --mwzip-logfile=/var/cache/mwcache/logs/mwzip.log --
mwpost-logfile=/var/cache/mwcache/logs/mwpost.log

Finally, I collected a book and startet PDF export, but got en error,
only:

error executing command u'render': execv() arg 2 must contain only
strings

mwserve.log looks like:

I have to use my own renderer, because the wiki is not publicly
available. It would be great, if someone could help me setting up PDF
export either via http or cgi or whatever. Your help's appreciated!
