Thank you Brian for the explanations. I d'ont have the courage anymore to track down all the hardcoded index.php, and if you say it may be fragile, I think I have no other option but to lose 1GB of my available space copying mediawiki directory 4 or 5 times. It would be nice however if possible to have other options for multiwikis, as all hostings don't allow symlinks or subdomains / domain aliases.
For ereg_replace, I don't know why preg_replace gave horrible results on my server, but anyway, I should'nt need it anymore.

It would be much better if you could use separate directories instead of renaming index.php. Renaming index.php is not really a supported configuration. There's the obvious problem of how do other scripts, like load.php know what wiki is being referred to.
If you're really intent on doing this, You can try ensuring that $wgScript is set appropriately for each wiki (E.g. $wgScript = '/w/andra.php'; for the andra one). However, there are probably places (especially for extensions) where index.php is hardcoded, and as i mentioned before, there are other entry points then index.php like load.php and api.php which will be confused by this. I expect that this setup will break in subtle ways.
You would also have to ensure there are separate image directories for each wiki or mediawiki will get confused.
p.s. ereg_replace is being removed from php, you should use preg_replace instead.

Hello everyone,
I have troubles running several wikis on a same installation. In fact I cannot use neither symlinks nor subdomain redirections to do it. So I have tried a hand-mde solution with a copy of index.php. i.e. : I want to run 4 wikis, that I have called :
- andra
- anthony
- nita
- crep
To go to andra for example I type the address : pascal.lautre.net/w/andra.php
and I have created a LocalSettings-$wikiname.php for each of the 4 wikis, setting a switch in the main LocalSettings.php to include the appropriate one. But I've got all my vairables and paths erased when the wiki redirects, it calls index.php/Accueil for example and I have no way to know what was the original call. I have even tried to use a hook, the BeforePageRedirect hook, but it worked only for loading the Accueil page (I guess it would be called HOme in english, or Welcome), after, I have the problem again when I try to connect, the link points to index.php instead of andra.php.
Here is the code of my LocalSettings.php:
<?php
$ppw = "/w"; if (! isset($pascal_request_uri)) { $pascal_request_uri = split("/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])[2]; }
$wgHooks['BeforePageRedirect'][] = function ($out, &$redirect, &$code) { GLOBAL $pascal_request_uri; GLOBAL $ppw;
$redirect = ereg_replace("/index.php", "/$pascal_request_uri", $redirect); return true; };
switch ($pascal_request_uri) { case "andra.php": case "anthony.php": case "nita.php": case "crep.php": require_once("LocalSettings-$pascal_request_uri"); break; default: echo "<p>NO wiki specified. please choose a wiki, ex: <br>\n"; echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . "$ppw/idees.php<br>\n"; exit(1); }
Thank you for any help!
