Hi All,
I need to have one machine host two MediaWikis. To achieve this, I
copied an existing wiki (called 'mediawiki3e') into the directory
structure of my primary wiki (called, simply, 'mediawiki'). I did the
copy as follows:
* copy SECONDWIKI/mysql/data/mediawiki to xxx/mysql/data/mediawiki3e
* copy SECONDWIKI/www/mediawiki to xxx/www/mediawiki3e
* change the following in xxx/www/mediawiki3e/LocalSettings.php
* $wgDBname = "mediawiki3e" (to redirect the SQL database)
* $wgScriptPath = "/mediawiki3e" (to redirect the web page handling)
So, I have the following directory structure:
xxx/apache2
xxx/mysql/data/mediawiki
xxx/mysql/data/mediawiki3e <-- new wiki
xxx/mysql/bin
xxx/mysql/share
xxx/php5
xxx/www/mediawiki
xxx/www/mediawiki3e <-- new wiki
The first wiki is still accessible but MediaWiki can't find the
'mediawiki3e.page' table (my browser displays error message 1146, the
text is given below).
Clearly, there's something I neglected to do in this process but I
haven't a clue what it is. I've been all over
MediaWiki.org (reading
FAQs and configuration guides and such) and I've poured over the
archives to this mailing list but I haven't found the answer I'm
seeking.
What do I need to do to get php/mysql to see this database (or,
alternatively, how do I change the name of the original mediawiki
database to 'mediawiki3e')? Since I'm a bit of a mysql/php doofus, I'd
really appreciate it if the explanation was at a novice level. Thanks!
I'm on Windows XP and I originally used the WOS (
www.wos.chsoftware.net)
package to install my Wikis.
The error message follows:
# MediaWiki internal error.
Original exception: exception 'DBQueryError' with message 'A
database error has occurred
Query: SELECT
page_id,page_namespace,page_title,page_restrictions,page_counter,
page_is_redirect,page_is_new,page_random,page_touched,page_latest,
page_len FROM `page` WHERE page_namespace =
'0'
AND page_title = 'Main_Page' LIMIT 1
Function: Article::pageData
Error: 1146 Table 'mediawiki3e.page' doesn't exist (localhost)

Thanks!
