Uh sorry, I meant 775 as chmod on the convert file and it's not in a world-readable directory... (outside the webfolder) Something like [[image:big.jpg|200px]] gives me an include error... 200px-big.jpg does not exist (yes ofcourse, I replaced big.jpg with something existing :)) Where can I override the path for dvips? And where can I download a binairy of dvips, I can't seem to find it...

That sounds very bad; don't do that. ImageMagick should be installed into a system directory, generally, and binaries should definitely *NEVER* be world-writable. Did you specify an image size like [[image:big.jpg|200px]] ? Have you set the location of the convert binary and properly enabled use of ImageMagick and resizing? (See LocalSettings.php) It will never work without dvips. You need it installed, and in the system PATH. If it's installed in a location that's not in the system PATH, you need to be able to override the PATH environment variable to include it. Well, that's something at least. You're missing at least several of the programs required for TeX support, so it's unable to produce complete output. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.

I get this error: Warning: stat(): Stat failed for /home/ae/public_html/wiki/images/thumb/1/1a/50px-Transistors.png (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/ae/public_html/wiki/includes/Image.php on line 313 Warning: unlink(/home/ae/public_html/wiki/images/thumb/1/1a/50px-Transistors.png) : No such file or directory in /home/ae/public_html/wiki/includes/Image.php on line 316 With this syntax: [[Afbeelding:Transistors.png|thumb|50px]] -----Original Message----- From: Rowan Collins [mailto:rowan.collins@gmail.com] Sent: donderdag 25 november 2004 20:14 To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Math Problem...

The phrase "include error" leads me to suspect MediaWiki is trying to use the in-built GD library (or whatever it's called) rather than making a call to the external "convert" binary (i.e. ImageMagick as a standalone program). You probably need to enable the $wgUseImageMagick variable. This, in case you weren't aware, is the syntax that makes the image resizing happen (you asked in your first post "when does the convert do its work?"; the answer is "when you tell it to"): see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax. Note also that this is entirely independent of the <math> some TeX here</math> extension ("texvc"). -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP] _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
