I have isolated the problem by changing the following in the LocalSettings.php.
$wgMathPath ="/var/lib/mediawiki/math" $wgMathDirectory="/var/lib/mediawiki/images/math $wgTmpDirectory="/var/lib/mediawiki/images/tmp I have chmod 777 all of these folders. When I refresh a page with math tags, the .png files, rendered correctly, are stored in the $wgmathDirectory using the hashing method (distributed into sub-directories of the directorybased on the first two characters of the md5 hash ). However these images are not being displayed on the wiki. How do I link the images to the wiki page?

Does the wiki create the equation image file*? Is it providing the right path in the <img tag? "displays the equation exactly" looks like it is using the alternate text instead of the image. *Probably not, check folder permissions! _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
