    I called Bluehost today.
    I tried to edit php.ini using the cPANEL editor. This editor changes:
    .htaccess, .user.ini, and php.ini

    I also changed my theme to “TwentySeventeen” looks much nicer, but QuickLatex
    still does not work.

    Does anyone know what the CORRECT php.ini var settings are so I can get
    QuickLatex to work?

    Thank you in advance.

    1. Include allow_url_fopen = On into php.ini.
    2. Enable cURL in php.ini and restart apache.
    3. Make sure cURL is working by checking the phpinfo().

    Please google for detailed instructions, e.g.:

    OK!…..

    I don’t know how to use ‘phpinfo()’ — I am not PHP literate. I am PERL literate.
    I DID HOWEVER find a ‘PHPinfo’ plugin.

    Server == Apache
    OS == Redhat LINUX
    Just switched to PHP v. 7.1.19

    How/Where should dump this output? HUUUGE….

    DOH! I forgot to ask:

    What if I go into ‘ql-cache’ and delete the files?

    I ran a backup about 3hr ago (7/24/2018 ca. 4pm EST)

    Follow this guide to generate information with phpinfo():
    https://mediatemple.net/community/products/dv/204643880/how-can-i-create-a-phpinfo.php-page

    Don’t delete QL cache, it will push QL to re-generate all the formulas, which is not working on your site right now.

    Thank you so much.

    I whacked the ql-cache once and got in trouble. Luckily I had a recent backup.
    You learn this when you screw a *NIX system (I ran NetBSD for 12yrs).

    I will try the phpinfo page tomorrow. It looks easy.

    I made the phpinfo page like the instructions said.

    Looks like cURL might not be properly configured.
    Could you remove cURL module completely (e.g. using cPANEL)?

    Also please remove/hide phpinfo page – it can be used for hacking.

    Let me know if disabling cURL helps.

    1) I don’t think black hats can use phpinfo() to hack the server unless they
    “jiggle the knob” and learn that it exists. I set the perms to 611. Even a SE
    can’t get to it, since it is not allowed to read it.

    2) I called Bluehost about cURL. To disable it requires root access.

    Does anyone have any other ideas?
    I have another idea about a graph I want to build. TikZ is great for this stuff.

    Does anyone have a set of php variables that work so I can try setting them?

    I need to “upgrade WordPress”. I don’t want to do this until QuickLatex is working.
    Thats like adding an error to an error. ERRORS COMPOUND.
