Description Joel James Adamson 2010-12-12 13:37:07 UTC 
Created attachment 468210 [details]
Picture of the wikipage with error message

Description of problem:

Entering math (TeX) formulae on a Mediawiki page results in "Failed to parse (Cannot write to or create math output directory): 8675309 (y+x) = 12.40"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mediawiki-math-1.15.4-55.fc13.i686



How reproducible: Absolutely


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mediawiki
2. Create /var/www/wiki/images/math and /var/www/wiki/images/tmp
3. chmod 775 the directories mentioned in tmp
4. chmod -R apache.apache /var/www/wiki
5. Enter a TeX formula on a wiki page
  
Actual results: Page displays "Failed to parse (Cannot write to or
create math output directory): 8675309 (y+x) = 12.40"


Expected results:  Displayed png image of the entered formula


Additional info: Same results with "setenforce 0" as with "setenforce
1"

texvc runs from the command-line flawlessly, producing mathml on
stdout and pngs in the indicated directory

From LocalSettings.php:

## If you have the appropriate support software installed
## you can enable inline LaTeX equations:
$wgUseTeX           = true;
# path for texvc
$wgTexvc =     "/usr/lib64/mediawiki/math/texvc";

# enabling LaTeX here:
$wgMathPath         = "{$wgUploadPath}/math";
$wgMathDirectory    = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/math";
$wgTmpDirectory     = "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp";

I am using TeXLive 2010 from http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org
