Hello,
I have installed Mediawiki on Solaris. Now I would like to create multiple Mediwiki instances. Can someone help me in doing this?
Thanks, Vani

Do what you did once, again.
If you intend to run a large number of wikis from a central source instance, see http://wp.wikidev.net/Wiki_farm for some info on how Wikipedia is configured.
(Short story: put the source in one place, have a couple symbolic links, beef up LocalSettings.php to detect which wiki is being loaded and configure appropriately.)

Have a look at http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2004-November/026326.html and its replies in the mailing list archive for pointers on how to set up a single install running multiple sites (which I presume is what you want).
The easiest way is to create a new copy of the mediawiki directory tree, and run config again.

Really, setting things up the way I describe here -
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2004-November/026473.html
is working very well for me. It's very easy to manage, including version control of the various projects, with all the different sandboxes pointing to the same db, ability to work on each instance individually w/out affecting the others, etc.
With the new table prefixes in 1.4 should be easy to run out of a single db, if you so desire.
The wikipedia configuration that Brion describes makes alot of sense if all your wikis have very similar policies and skins, but I feel that the LocalSetting file should read more like a properties file, and not have any control flow (conditional settings or instances specific stuff).
good luck, Jonah
