I also install ocaml I check texvc as written in the README of the math directory like this : from the mediawiki directory I run: texvc ./tmp ./math "y=x+2" iso-8859-1 I got : ./math/daa63ef966cc412541190bc8794731de.png nevertheless in MediWiki I get an error : *Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math output directory): y=x+2 the math directory has the following rights: drwxrwxrwx 2 PROJETOOQCB users 4096 Nov 29 17:38 math drwxrwxrwx 2 PROJETOOQCB users 4096 Nov 29 17:30 tmp Thanks for the help.
