I am coming back with this problem again ! texvc works fine in command line for me. e.g. when I am at 'images' folder in my wiki-home, and issue the command '../math/texvc ./tmp/ ./math/ "y=x+2" iso-8859-1', the correct png file is getting generated in the ./math/ folder. But, in the wiki, any content inside the math tags, show:
*Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math temp directory): n=0*
Both math and tmp folders have world write permissions.
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 ...
