Hi guys, Because I believe OpenBSD's apache is chrooted, it's causing problems with texvc parsing stuff.
When I debug mediawiki, I look at the call function and this is what I get: # #TeX: ./math/texvc './uploads/tmp' './uploads/tmp' 'E=mc^2' 'UTF-8' #TeX output: # # './uploads/tmp' was actually previously /mediawiki/uploads/tmp, which makes no sense under chrooted apache so I set the variable $wgTmpDirectory to './uploads/tmp'. However, I still get no output. If I run texvc manually, it works just fine and I get a .png at the end, but when apache runs texvc, something seems to go wrong. When Math.php is called in mediawiki, what's the working directory. I'm guessing ./math/texvc './uploads/tmp' './uploads/tmp' 'E=mc^2' 'UTF-8' returns no output because ./math/texvc is not really taking me to /var/www/mediawiki/math/texvc, which would mean ./uploads/tmp is also incorrect. Please help me debug this. I really wish texvc would be replaced by somethng else. It's too complicated. There's an alternative at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Texvc_PHP_Alternative and I tried that, but it said latex couldn't be found even though I changed the directory to /usr/local/bin/latex in that Math.php file If someone could just test mediawiki on their OpenBSD box to see if they got LaTex to work, that would a big help. I'd be willing to document all this steps on the mediawiki so someone in the future doesn't have to go through all this trouble I'm going through. Thanks, Vivek
