hi,
we want set up different wikis (subwikis) while using the same sourcecode-tree. therefor i followed
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family Scenario 2: Quick set-up
which installs different databases an handles different LocalSettings.php. everything works fine!
now i want to take an eaysier way to use my standard-configuration by copying a LocalSettings.php (use a lot of LDAP-stuff, so a always have to edit the config-files from the installation-procedure by hand :-(
a diff between my old LocalSettings.php and the installation-LocalSettings.php shows nothing complicated but $wgProxyKey. what is it for, and could i use only one of them?
$wgProxyKey (a.k.a. $wgSecretKey) can be the same for all your wikis. The only requirement is that it is secret. It is used to make the pseudorandom login tokens, used by the "remember me" feature, slightly harder for an attacker to guess.
