How To Enable Math Support In MediaWiki
In case you are interested in applying math support in Mediawiki there are several steps you can take:
1. Log in to the control Panel and select the File Manager menu
2. Find the localsettings.php configuration file within your wiki directory
3. Modify this file be changing $wgUseTeX = false; to $wgUseTeX = true;. After you have implemented these changes add the following to the end of your file:
$wgUploadPath = “images”;
$wgUploadDirectory = “images”;
$wgMathPath = “{$wgUploadPath}/math”;
$wgMathDirectory = “{$wgUploadDirectory}/math”;
$wgTmpDirectory = “{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp”;
Be sure that your Mediawiki includes such directories as /images/math and /images/tmp. In case you don’t find them there you need to create them setting 755 permissions. To accomplish this task you need to make use of File Manager menu within your Control Panel, select the very file or directory you want to work with and choose Change Permissions option.
4. The last thing you need to do implies downloading the textvc binary from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34373 and inserting the file into the /math folder.
