Problem with MapleTA and MathML generation

In a test we had develop at our college, we need to use some MathML expressions on the questions, for example: to verify if an student know the sine law I use:

mode=Multiple Choice@
name=sine@
editing=useHTML@
@
answer=1@

choice.1=
sin(A)a=sin(B)b=sin(C)c

' align='absmiddle'>@

choice.2=sin(A)b c=sin(B)a c=sin(C)a b

' align='absmiddle'>@

choice.3=sin(A)a b c=sin(B)a b c=sin(C)a b c

' align='absmiddle'>@

choice.4=sin(A)cos(A)=sin(B)cos(B)=sin(C)cos(C)

' align='absmiddle'>@

Well, the problem was that at the moment of the exam, not all of the images were generated, it was very annoying when the correct answer didn't appear.

I wanna know if that has happened at somebody else (then was a problem with MapleTA or apache server) or it's just at my college (then it's a problem with the network).

Thanks to anybody who reads this, i will be waiting for an answer.

Which version of MapleTA are you using?

I have had some problems with MapleTA 2.51 not
generating MathML occasionally. Is that the version
you are using?

I am interested in the version since I hope to move to 3.0
by January.

Yes, I am almost sure we use

Yes, I am almost sure we use that version, I also hope to move to 3.0 as soon as the college can afford it.

But if i tell them that these problem is solved at the new version that will help to upgrade it.

Thanks

I know the problem that you refer to. It happens with MapleTA 2.51, and it still happens with 3.0.

I find that the problem is fixed by restarting our MapleTA server. Fortunately, our system administrator is almost always around. When I start getting a stream of email messages from students about this MapleTA problem (images not generated), I get him to restart the service and all is well.

We used MapleTA 2.5 for two or three years. We have been using MapleTA 3.0 for about three weeks now.

Let me just say that it is not 3.1, and there are some scary bugs. I anxiously await a patch or the release of 3.1.
