Hello,

Does anyone else have issues with mathematical equations in Canvas?

I'm seeing that https://latex.codecogs.com/ is giving 503 errors.

I know is not part of Canvas but as the integration is transparent and not obvious, so what can we do to solve it?

Kind Regards.

Assuming we're talking about a self-hosted Canvas, you'll want to look at running a Mathman service: https://github.com/instructure/mathman

Hello,

Yes, it is a self-hosted Canvas.

Thanks for the information, looks interesting and better yet, no decency from third parties, just one more question how you let Canvas know to use this instead of LaTex ?

Thank you.

You add the config to your canvas config/dynamic_settings.yml file. See https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/blob/master/config/dynamic_settings.yml.example#L45-L48 for the example.
