Dear Robin, All,
I hope you all are not running out of patience with me, but
My .tex code is compiled fine now when I run latex+biber+pdflatex from
my shell (or from within Kile). Compilation fails (still as below)
when it is performed by my local Apache server.
I understand that files are created under /root/.texlive/... and that
maybe Apache can not access them. To copy/paste them under the main
texlive directory did not fix anything.
Is anybody knowledgeable on how to fix it? I would like to fix this,
before to upgrade myself to Unicode and Xe[La]TeX.
My sample php script is below.
Thanks
Cheers
mario
