I'm having the same problem. The renderer works fine from the command
line, both when retrieving from Wikipedia and from my own wiki.

Further, when I send stuff to the renderer from the wiki using the
Collections extension, it also gets rendered correctly and stored as a
PDF file named output.rl in the cache.

(the Collections extension otherwise works correctly, creating books
and whatnot nicely. It's just the PDF download part that doesn't work
completely).

But there it stays. The rendered output doesn't get sent back to the
wiki. I am using mw-serve on the default port 8899, and it is running
on localhost at the same location as the wiki.

I have PHP 5.2.11 (not 5.3) and Apache2.

The only unsual thing about my Mediawiki 1.16 installation is that I
can't get clean URLs to work, so that my articles all use this format
for articles:

 http;//mywiki.mydomain.org/index.php/Articlename

Somehow the problem has to be in the passback to the wiki.

When the wiki uses PediaPress as the renderer, the same problem
happens (and I have port 8899 open and forwarded correctly).

There's got to be something simple...
