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 ...

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.
