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
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Texvc#Windows>]. 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 <math></math> into a Wiki page gives the error:
*Failed to parse (Missing
<code>texvc</code> executable. Please see
math/README to configure.):*
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
