[Mediawiki-l] Simple Math Renders but complex math does not

[John Edenfield]

Fixed the problem. the $wgMathPath should be ="/mediawiki/images/math ".
Looking at the page source info helped determine the correct path name.

Thanks for your help.

In MediaWiki configuration variable parlance, "path" usually refers to web
URL paths, while "directory" refers to filesystem paths.

$wgMathPath is the URL path that is used to reference the generated images
in the resulting HTML; this means you'll have things in the page like this:

  <img class="tex" src="/var/lib/mediawiki/math/a/b/abcdefgh.png"
alt="a^2+b^2=c^2" />

The browser then tries to load
http://yourwiki.example.com/var/lib/mediawiki/math/a/b/abcdefgh.png --
since
there's no image there, it displays the alternate text which is the
original
TeX source.

It looks like you need to set $wgMathPath = "/images/math".
