[Wikitech-l] Fwd: Math extension, errors that may be Windows-related

2015-04-12 Thread Brenton Horne 
I sent this message to MediaWiki-l but as I am yet to receive a reply 
despite sending it about a day ago I have decided to forward it here.

Hi,

I have a local Wiki that I have been trying to install the Math 
extension on. In LocalSettings.php I have the following lines for the 
extension:

require_once("extensions/Math/math.php");

$wgUseTeX = true;
$wgTexvc = "/extensions/Math/math/texvc.exe";
texvc was installed via following instructions here [1 
]. I have a texvc.exe file 
in the directory extensions/Math/math/ created via following these 
instructions. I also have LaTeX installed on my PC via MiKTeX, currently 
my path variable points to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64 (where 
latex.exe and dvipng.exe files exist). Despite this inserting an 
equation via  into a Wiki page gives the error:
*Failed to parse (Missing texvc executable. Please see 
math/README to configure.):*


Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Try making $wgTexvc be the full path (e.g. starting with c:\). In any case
if its relative it shouldnt start with a leading /.

Same error is being produced, I'm afraid, after this modification to 
LocalSettings.php.

Ah, I have found that using the full textvc.exe location, with 
backslashes (\) replaced with forward slashes and the C: prefix removed 
worked, sort of. I am still getting an error but it's a different one, 
namely:

*Failed to parse (unknown error):*
