Please have a look and let me know if any suggestion is available. I need a solution very urgently. Thanks. ======================================================================== Dear list, I am a newbie to MediaWiki. I am facing some problem with the math environment in version 1.9.3. I am not sure if it is a Texvc problem. Even if I put simplest math expression like: <math>n=0</math>, the output shows "*Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math temp directory): n=0" I have checked thoroughly that apache has permission to write at required places. Even I have tried 'chmod -R 777 wiki/' to give write permission everywhere ! Any help/suggestion will be highly appreciated. Regards, Suman. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l Have you yet visited this site: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Enable_TeX?

hi suman, Suman Chakrabarty schrieb: two hints: 1.) do you use $wgUploadDirectory in your LocalSettings and set it to another dir than the expected ~/wiki/images ? 2.) do you use the apache-user in command line? different users, different permissions! perhaps your command-line-user has write-perms while apache-user not. try 'chmod -R 777 images images/math images/tmp'. if this works, reduce permissions or ownerships to what you raelly need. after all a had a also a problem with the standard-pathes to latex's dvipng (i dont use imagemagic), but that's another story ... jens _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
