      1. Enable the algebra filter and tex filter. 
      2. Go to blog or course and create some content: 

        Algebra: @@x+y@@
        		 
        TeX: $$x+y$$

      3. Click on the algebra expression (should go to a debug page)
      4. Go to the tex debugging page ($CFG->wwwroot/filter/tex/texdebug.php)
      5. Manually review the mimetexisnotexist string (this string is difficult to review in error log because it needs an 'invalid' PHP_OS..)
        • VERIFY: the content of this string shouldn't reference to http://moodle.org/download/mimetex/ . The exact string should only contain: 'Your system is not configured to run mimeTeX. You need to obtain the C source from <a href="http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip">http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip</a>, compile it and put the executable into your moodle/filter/tex/ directory.'

      Description

      The TeX filter debugger (e.g. http://demo.moodle.net/filter/tex/texdebug.php as mentioned in https://docs.moodle.org/en/TeX_notation_filter#Debugging_TeX_filter ) displays the following text:

      "... You can try compiling it from the C sources downloaded from http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.zip, or looking for an appropriate binary at http://moodle.org/download/mimetex/. ..."

      The URL http://moodle.org/download/mimetex/ does not exist.
