Hello,
I installed Mediawiki 1.25.5 from sources on a Linux server (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).No problems anywhere and no warning. I also activated HTTPS login and OpenLDAP authentication. All is OK. But I'm a noob with mediawiki and I just started to learn it.
Now, I try to configure mediawiki to do "farming": several wikis on the same mediawiki installation (same core and differents parameters).
Here are some informations : - I'm root on my server. - The installation directory is /home/web/www/mediawiki - The real root of the web server is /home/web/www/
So I want to use several wikis accessibles with the following urls : - mediawiki main : http://sites.foo.bar/mediawiki - mediawiki monkey : http://sites.foo.bar/monkey - mediawiki donkey : http://sites.foo.bar/donkey - mediawiki trump : http://sites.foo.bar/trump
I don't know if the better way is to use plugins (I tried SimpleFarm but I didn't understand all the documentation because it was not enough "step by step" for me) or to do everything manually (with symlinks? Another method? How?)
I thank you for your help.
Laurent.
I'm currently running 4 wikis from the same core code on Mediawiki 1.26.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.
The mediawiki code is in /var/lib/mediawiki and includes everything except for /images folder and LocalSettings.php It is from this directory that I set up all the wikis (via mw-config page).
All of the wikis have their own folder in /etc/mediawiki (e.g., /etc/mediawiki/chemwiki). In each of those folders, all wiki files/folders are linked to those in /var/lib/mediawiki EXCEPT for /images and LocalSettings.php (I also have separate logo.png file here, too).
Finally, in my /var/www/html, I have each wiki's folder (e.g., /var/www/html/chemwiki) linked to its /etc/mediawiki/ folder
I don't know if this is the best way to go about the process, but it works well for me. Pro: If you want to install a new extension, it only needs to be placed in /var/lib/mediawiki/extensions Con: Anytime you want to update an individual wiki, you need to move its LocalSettings.php file to /var/lib/mediawiki in order to run /var/lib/mediawiki/maintenance/update.php
Hope that's somewhat helpful ...
