General ⇒ Texmaker Error log file not found

[rf1970]

Hello all,

I am new to Latex.

I have tried to create a simple document using Texmaker quick wizard.

The code is attached.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
Sample document
\end{document}

After compilation, the following error came

log file not found.

I have installed MikTex 2.9 version for windows 7.

Regards,

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Welcome to the forum!

That code is ok. Did you see any other error message before "log file not found"? Usually I would ask for the log file. Perhaps post a screenshot if we could possibly see more then?

open a commandline and try to execute pdflatex. What happens?

I have attached the screen shot of the pdflatex executed in dos command line (screen1).

The screen shot 2, shows the error message when pdflatex compilation done.

Waiting for the reply..

Thanks and Regards,

Go through your Texmaker options/settings, one by one. Perhaps post them here, maybe as a screenshot again. I assume there's a setting that lets Texmaker search in the wrong folder, such as -output-directory=... or a build subdirectory has been set.

It's also possible that Texmaker simply doesn't find pdflatex.exe. Check if Texmaker has the full path to pdflatex in its options, or ensure that the MikTeX binary path is in the Windows environment variables (such as C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64).

I have enclosed the options screen of the TexMaker.

I would try replacing pdflatex by "C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/pdflatex", similar for latex.

I have provided the path of Latex and pdflatex in the options.

It worked fine.

Thanks a lot!!
