I've managed to install Wikimedia and run a wiki on my own computer using the Saint WAMP package.
But I'm stumped on how to create a second and subsequent wikis for the other projects I have.
Can anybody suggest how I could do this?
Tim,
The easiest thing to do is to create a seperate directory and install MW into that dir.
If you want to use the same user db in both wikis add $wgSharedDB="first db" in Local settings and it will use your existing user db.
Does this help?

I hope there will be some more responses on this topic that are more detailed since I don't know very much, but I have been looking into this so I will post a link from the MediaWiki site. This page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide:_FAQ#Is_it_possible_...
is the most information on the subject that I have found. I don't know if using a package installer (i don't know what Saint WAMP is) would make this install more challenging, but the manual install is trivial enough so I would do that instead.
One small question I have about these instructions is the instruction: "2. specify a (different) table name prefix on the configuration page"
I'm not completely clear on what this refers to though, and was hoping someone could help out.
Does it refer to editing the LocalSettings.php in the install directory of the all the new wikis, so that the $wgDBname variable refers to a new table that we should create for each of them, or does it mean that the web-based installer should be run for each new installation, specifying a new table each time?
Thanks, Andrew.
