Thank you Daniel for your prompt reply. Actually I had
tried that method
before but I guess I didn't quite understand it. I was thinking that
changing $IP at LocalSettings.php should work. Even if it fails, it would
be a good learning experience.
In any case, I would try the suggested method also. Hopefully, I may
understand it this time round. Still I would be glad if anyone can tell me
how to reference a different folder at the same level as I may need it
occasionally for other purposes.
You don't change $IP in LocalSettings. What you want is mediawiki
finding the appropiate LocalSettings (or a common one with cases inside).
The web browser must hit index.php, not LocalSettings. You can easily do
that by placing symlinks to mediawiki folder.
Or alternatively, using an index.php wrapper which chdirs to mediawiki
folder and requires index.php
