texmaker "could not start the command"

Question

I'm using Cloudant as my database, and I've correctly set it up with Cloudflare as a virtual host so instead of having a randomly generated subdomain to my database like this:

f8b3f1f4-b695-4806-someting-fre-bluemix.cloudant.com

I got it in under my custom domain like this:

db.example.com

I've correctly set the SSL certificate and everything is perfectly good.

The problem now is that on the custom domain I can't authenticate (using basic auth) to my DB using the username and the password I use on the randomly generated domain.

on the custom domain (db.example.com), I get this error:

{
     "error": "unauthorized",
     "reason": "Name or password is incorrect."
}

while on the original domain (f8b3f1f4-b695-4806-someting-fre-bluemix.cloudant.com) the basic auth works just fine.

Solution

You need to replace pdflatex under Options -> Configure Texmaker -> Commands with

 "/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/i386-linux/pdflatex"

According to this Compiling with texmaker fails, compiling on commandline works you may need to export the texlive path from your .profile rather than your .bashrc

My suspicion is that TexMaker looks for these files on standard locations rather than using the PATH variable. Unfortunately, I had to do the same for the other commands too.
