Lots of confusion here, let me try to clear it up: http://www.domain1.com/wiki/ serves /var/www/html/w and the wiki mysql db with no prefix http://www.domain2.com/wiki/ serves /var/www/html/w and the wiki mysql db with no prefix They are both the exact same wiki, with the exact same articles, users, database, tables, data, and the exact same php files. If I have this right, all Isabell wants is have two domain names serve the same wiki. Isabell does not want to use a redirect, if someone goes to domain2, all their urls should stay domain2. ditto for domain1. - Olivier On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 9:04 AM, Isabell Alcott &lt;uv22ealcott(a)googlemail.com&gt; wrote: curulan(a)clantitan.org&gt;wroteote: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l

So just put a VirtualHost directive into apache httpd.conf on the domain1 server and point the logical name for domain2 to the IP of domain1. B.

i just thought it would go in ease as i know it from wordpress where one can setup multiple domains on one installation with the same files and database. but it seems that it is not possible in mediawiki, maybe a proposal to a forthcoming extension or feature in future mediawiki versions :) On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 5:19 PM, Isabell Alcott &lt;uv22ealcott(a)googlemail.com&gt;wrote;wrote: > i have shared webhosting > > > > > On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 5:13 PM, Boris Steipe > &lt;boris.steipe(a)utoronto.ca&gt;wrote;wrote: > >> So just put a VirtualHost directive into apache httpd.conf on the >> domain1 >> server and point the logical name for domain2 to the IP of domain1. >> >> B. >> >> >> >> On 2011-10-28, at 11:04 AM, Isabell Alcott wrote: >> >> > *if someone >> > goes to domain2, all their urls should stay domain2. ditto for >> > domain1.* >> > >> > yeeeeeeeee, this is exactly what i want.

i dont even have $wgServer = "" in my LocalSettings.php

How the shared host was setup to point two domains at the site wasn't even mentioned iirc. Frankly it's even possible that the host themselves is actually taking whatever 'extra domain' you give them and doing a dumb 301 or frame redirect instead of just doing what a ServerAlias would do. Btw, we use HTTP_HOST first not SERVER_NAME.

Hehe, me as a beginner dont understand anything anymore. Maybe someone wants to put a line under all this and tell if it is definately possible or not. If so, what do i have to change in which file etc. if i use MW on a shared webhosting? ty all :)
