Hi,
Could someone please give me some guidance as to what to check, based on the error
message? I don't know what specifically to look for, to see that the installation of
the modules is correct. Also, I don't have shell access to the server, so I would
have to ask the webhosting company to check for me, and I would like to know what specific
steps to ask them to do. The webhosting company tells me that the modules are installed.
Are there some settings within the MediaWiki software that tells the software where the
modules are installed? If so, where are they? Maybe they are set incorrectly.
I checked the permissions on the images/math and images/tmp directories and set them to
allow reading, writing and executing by everyone. Also, I noticed that in the images/tmp
directory, there are a bunch of files with .tex extensions and that there is nothing in
the images/math directory.
If there is some documentation that answers my questions, please refer me to it.
Thanks,
Ellen

Thank you. I have uncommented the line to enable TeX processing, put texvc into the math
subdirectory, and changed the permissions on texvc and the images subdirectory. It
doesn't work yet, but I am now getting an error message:
"Failed to parse (PNG conversion failed; check for correct installation of latex,
dvips, gs, and convert): \sin x + \ln y \alpha a^2"

What do you suggest I do next?
