Serverproblem when generating PDF from MediaWiki site

[jeepee]

When I try to make a PDF with the 'collection' tool in MediaWiki. I
get the following output after the extension seems to have started the
process correctly:

An error occured on the render server: RuntimeError: RuntimeError:
command failed: ['mw-zip', '-o', u'cache/72/7204091ebdcc5853/
collection.zip', '-m', u'cache/72/7204091ebdcc5853/metabook.json', '--

u'MediaWiki:PDF Template Blacklist', '--template-exclusion-category',
u'Exclude in print', '--print-template-prefix', u'Print', '--print-

lib/python2.6/site-packages/mwlib-0.12.13-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/mwlib/
async/slave.py, line 64

Does anybody have experience with this problem and know how to solve
it?

Thanks in advance, Jan Peeters

Hi Rober,

thanks for your reply. I had credentials set correctly but what I did
wrong was that I first needed to activate the extension in
LocalConfig.php and after that set the variables for formats like PDF
and ODT. Now everything works.

This is the code how it needed to be at my place:

-------------------------
require_once("$IP/extensions/Collection/Collection.php");

$wgCollectionMWServeURL = 'http://tools.pediapress.com/mw-serve/';
$wgCollectionMWServeCredentials = 'user:password';
$wgCollectionFormats = array(
'rl' => 'PDF',
'odf' => 'ODT'
);
-------------------------

Best regards,
Jan
