I've gathered that it's possible to run multiple wikis off of one MW installation. Can someone point me to instructions? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
See includes/SiteConfiguration.php. Unfortunately, I don't believe there are good instructions anywhere.
Basically, you have some logic interface with SiteConfiguration from LocalSettings.php. Since the SiteConfiguration class just exports variable values, all you really need is some logic in LocalSettings.php to define the appropriate $wgFoo variables, and you are set. Probably the easiest thing to do is just change the database prefix, wiki name, permissions array, and possibly a few others.
Currently, there is no good gui for automating the process. Although, I've always wanted to write one...
