Someone privately suggested to check the directory the script was running in
so I added a pwd instead of the date and it says /home/mikel/cgi-bin which
is where the script runs from. I therefore added a "cd /tmp" to that system call
so that latex would be run from that /tmp dir. Now I get this:
> system("date > /tmp/chemlabel.log; latex $latex_file >> /tmp/chemlabel.log") && \

/tmp$ cat chemlabel.log
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
