I get this error Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math temp directory) for this <nowiki><math>\sqrt{2}</math></nowiki> content. $wgUploadDirectory is deifned as $IP/images and $wgTmpDirectory = $wgUploadDirectory/tmp in LocalSettings.php. $IP/images/tmp exists and is chmodded a+w $IP/images/math exists and is chmodded a+w I got this working with a previous cvs after experiencing the same error for quite some time, it magically fixed itself. I then got another error but this was related to my latex installtation. When I grabbed the latest cvs, I deleted the /images/tmp amd images/math dirs remade them and re chmodded a+w, and I continued to get the same error message.

I note you haven't provided a URL to the page where you have the problem. This makes it harder for us to confirm your problem, test, or make suggestions. Can you confirm that you have actually rerendered the page since making your tweaks? Page renderings are aggressively cached. Please test in a preview, on a new page, with new text, with ?action=purge, etc.
I upgraded php to version 5.1.2. The error is no longer occurring. No other changes were made to my system.
The error I now recieve (PNG conversion failed) is related to my installation of Tex Live - which is another issue entirely. I do not know why the php upgrade resolved the issue.
