Hi,
after having installed Tidy on the Linux Web-Server, the "Import HTML Settings"-Page tells me:
HTMLTidy executable is not available. Found 'tidy' binary, but it didn't run right. /usr/local/bin/tidy -v failed to respond correctly
Running Tidy on the Server I get the correct message:
HTML Tidy release date: 4th August 2000
See http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett for detailsTidy should be accessible form all processes since it has set the following bits:
-rwxr-xr-x
Tidy is exactly located in the directory /usr/local/bin !
Does "Import HTML" expect to get another response form Tidy when executing tidy -v?
What else can be wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Looking at the line in the test file it should respond OK if the executable returns anything at all.
It does run a system call (obviously) and some hosts have that locked down via safe_mode.
If that's the case, you may be able to run it by copying the binary into the expected bin directory under the module dir, where safe_mode_exec_dir may trust it. Check your phpinfo to see if it looks like anything is restricted.
Note, tidy dated 2000 looks pretty old!
