Hi there,

I'm having two problems with my mediawiki installation.

1) The inplace install does not work. After I fill out all the fields and hit "Install!" a new page appears. It reads:

* PHP 4.3.4 ok * PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Found ImageMagick: /usr/bin/convert; image thumbnailing will be enabled if you enable uploads. * Installation directory: /var/www/wiki2 * Script URI path: /wiki2

After that the page stops. There is no LocalSettings.php in the config directory. This happens with both 1.2.4 and 1.2.6.

I managed to manually install a 1.2.4 version, but it is somewhat borked.

2) The TeX support does not work. I compiled texvc and put it into /var/www/wiki/math directory. Now I get the following error message, when using the <math>-Tag:

PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex, dvips, gs, and convert

All those programs are installed and known to work. When I run e.g.

./texvc tmp out '\Phi' iso-latin1

I have to C-d the program. It then writes some hashcode to stdout (c571286850423e91db6d2802a4857bf03&Phi) and places some files in tmp. The file texput.log reads:

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5) (format=latex 2004.4.29) 15 JUN 2004 14:44 **tmp/15593_571286850423e91db6d2802a4857bf03.tex

! Emergency stop. <*> tmp/15593_571286850423e91db6d2802a4857bf03.tex End of file on the terminal!

Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 3 strings out of 95854 52 string characters out of 1196101 44491 words of memory out of 1000001 3030 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000 3640 words of font info for 14 fonts, out of 500000 for 1000 14 hyphenation exceptions out of 1000 0i,0n,0p,1b,6s stack positions out of 1500i,500n,5000p,200000b,5000s No pages of output.

I can manually compile the created tex file in tmp and it will show a Phi symbol in gs, so I think that the problem lies within the mediawiki source and not with my toolchain. This is with 1.2.4 as I couldn't get 1.2.6 installed.

I'm on Debian unstable and do all my browsing with Konqueror.

Thanks for help, Viktor
