You may want to put an index.php file in tiki/lib/extension/ and in tiki/lib/extension/wikitex/ like the one you find in tiki/lib/ and a .htaccess file containig

<Files *>

Beware that using latex may cause security issues - read wikitex's doc! In effects WikiTeX limits the commands that can be passed to latex. Also note that wikitex mantains his own cache of images in wikitex/tmp/ (you may want to delete them sometimes)
