I have seen some similar issues on here but none that solved mine so here we go. I am using TexMaker to compile a report style latex document. Originally, I would alter something in the document, compile (F6) and there'd be no errors, just warnings but the same old pdf would show up, so I couldn't figure out whether the compilation was wrong or if texmaker's built in viewer was picking up the wrong file, so I deleted the .pdf and tried to compile again. Now the issue is no pdf is generated and still, running pdflatex, only warnings are outputted. (See attached png). Any help is appreciated. I would reinstall but I have no admin rights on my computer so need to tell the IT guys what is wrong.
Thanks in advance
Maria

This actually gives you a hint where the problems is: what did you add/change between the working and the non-working compilation?
Unfortunately the code you posted is no minimal working example! It is a) not minimal and b) not working. Working means that I or anyone can copy and paste the code, hit compile, and see the same behaviour you are seeing.

Hi,
I deleted the pdf between working & not working. The reason it is not minimal is because I have no idea where the error is. It is a massive document with several chapters. I don't know how to narrow it down. I pasted the warnings I was getting as I get no errors. For you to replicate these warnings, surely you need my entire document? The reason I asked the question is because I suspected the error was not in my code as it was compiling previously. But if you suspect the problem is still related to the code ( based on the warnings & no error msgs), I can continue to wade through the entire document one more time.
log file not found can have two reasons i am familiar with: The pdf and/or log files are opened by other programs (acrobat reader for the pdf for example)
or, there is no TeX-distribution installed.
You said it worked previously, if you are on a new machine, the second is likely. The first reason can be resolved by closing all openn programs and restart the computer. Wouldn't be really necessary to close and shut down, but this will ensure that really everything related is closed. Firing up the tex-editor and trying again hopefulle will resolve the message.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
