I'm don't know the answer to your question, Gunter, but I have a few pieces
of advice:
1) If these are production, publicly available wikis, you really shouldn't
be using xampp - it's not made for that. (If these are internal wikis, then
please disregard).
2) If you want to make things really easy, and if you have access to do so,
you should consider using an operating system which supports "soft
linking". Then just point the second wiki's subdirectories at the first
wiki's dirs.
3) If you're stuck with windows/xampp, the easiest thing may be to just
actually install MediaWiki twice (once for each), then explore some kind of
script (batch file?) to make upgrading easier. The Windows XCOPY command is
probably all you need. Do "XCOPY /?" in the command prompt to see what
options are available.

Hi,
I am trying to set up differnent wikis with the mainly the same source
code (because installation and update is easier):
I set up two directories: wWikiA and wWikiB:
wWikiA is the full installation
wWikiB should only hold the LocalSettings.php and the files from the
main dir, like index.php.
To access the code in wWikiA/includes etc. from wWikiB, I changed some
in LocalSettings.php:
$IP = 'c:/Programme/xampp/htdocs/wWikiA';
$wgScriptPath = "/wWikiB";
$wgUploadPath = "/wWikiB/images"; #actually not necessary
$wgStylePath = "/wWikiA/skins";
$wgDBprefix = "wb_";
Unfortunatly the wiki did not start. Some files need to be in the
includes directory:
Defines.php
ProfileStub.php
Setup.php
WebStart.php
Is this a feature or a bug?

PS: I can live with that, only 4 files and the files from the main
folder are easy to replace.
