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.

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