Hi everyone
I have a Latex internship reports containing : main.tex, acknowledgements.tex, abstract.tex, listofsymbols.tex, Chapter1.tex, Chapter2
tex, references.bib and aappendix.tex
I know this document works but I can't get it to work. What order do I compile them ?

Order to compile a Latex document
This should be explained in eveery introduction to LaTeX. You have to compile the main file by calling
pdflatex main or hit the button in your editor.The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

pdflatex - any auxiliary program:
biber(orbibtex, depending on how the bibliography is built),makeindex(if an index is used),makeglossaries(if glossaries is used), … -
pdflatex(at least twice)

Thankyou !
Re: Order to compile a Latex document
Keep in mind that you need to repeat this if changes like new index entries or new citations are added. So when you've finished your document you should repeat the whole compilation process.
You should also take a look at the log file every now and then because it often contains messages telling to recompile.
