Hi
You can, but you don't have to. I used different databases (all owned by the same user), but you can use the same database and just specify a different table prefix for each wiki. So you have all the options you have with completely different wikis, but don't have to update the source for each (you have to update the database for each wiki, though).

Do you have to create a new user for the database access too?

Hi
I did the same (having multiple wikis using one "code" folder) using
links.
I just unzipped the mediawiki archive to a folder ("mediawiki"), created
a
new (empty) folder for each wiki and created symbolic links. This way
you
have separate wikis where command line scripts are working...

Thanks Zarrabeitia,
So, if I understand this configuration allows us to use one folder
with two
different databases according to the url the user enter, right? My
question
is:
- What is the advantage for this configuration?
Actually, the main advantage I see is that I don't have to configure/change/personalize several different installations... only
need to
keep one up to date. Joshua Yeidel's suggestion seems incredibly
atractive,
I'll look into that... anything to make maintenance easier :D.
- What configuration the wikipedia uses for the different address
it
has?
I wish I knew. Good question! I look forward for the answer.
Cheers,
