Thread:Project:Support desk/Please help me get Tex working!?

I've gone through all the instructions over and over and nothing seems to be working with Tex. I've added these lines into LocalSettings.php:

all the sub-programs run just fine from the command line, latex, convert, gs, dvips, no problem. if I run the command: texvc /var/wiki/images/tmp /var/wiki/images/math "y=x+2" I get an image in the /var/wiki/images/math directory, as I expect.

I added these lines to the LocalSettings.php file: $IP = '/var/wiki'; require_once( "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php" ); $wgUseTex = true; $wgTexvc = '/usr/bin/texvc'; $wgMathDisableTexFilter = true; $wgMathCheckFiles = true; $wgUploadPath = "/var/wiki/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "/var/wiki/images"; $wgMathPath = "{$wgUploadPath}/math"; $wgMathDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/math"; $wgTmpDirectory = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp";

I went into the wiki/maintenance directory and did 'php update.php' and no errors. Then I restarted apache.

However, if I go to the page: wiki/index.php?title=Special:Version on the wiki, it shows that the Math extension is NOT installed. No error message, nothing, it just doesn't see it, apparently.

I also notice I do not have a file /wiki/includes/Math.php...

and anything between $$$$ tags is just ignored, not parsed into math images by the wiki.

So... What am I doing wrong? How do I enable the Tex / math extension here? I'm pulling my hair out!
