I set up my wiki server (original latest version from mediawiki.org 1.19) and OS is Win 7

'Cause need some TeX represents, I tried several methods but most of them didn't work.

Finally I got mathjax.

It show proper result in preview of wikieditor! It was amazing!

In redbox, TeX form rendered successfully! It is exactly what i want!

After save this wiki, HOWEVER, those TeX not rendered......

Moreover, strange notation ( and ) cover my TeX fomulas.

For example, I wanna input right arrow (→ like this). So I type this line in my wiki page.

\RightArrow

But, my wiki shows proper TeX in preview only. After save, (\RightArrow) placed where → should be!

This is document after save.

I installed mathjax to my wiki through download two files(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MathJax -> http://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk.nuyens/Extension_MathJax/, MathJax.php and mwMathJaxConfig.js) and put them in extensions/MathJax.

Did I do incorrect installation? or I have to set more options?

Bring me some help, please.

Try disabling caching by adding "$wgParserCacheType = CACHE_NONE;" to your LocalSettings.php (and make certain it is not set to a different value afterwards in the same file). A similar question arises on the Discussion page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:MathJax and this setting is also mentioned on the installation page.
