Why not just use symlinks?

Hi

I'd like to use a common skin path for two different wikis to share file resources.

Directory structure is as follows:

/DOCUMENT_ROOT/wiki1

/DOCUMENT_ROOT/wiki2

/DOCUMENT_ROOT/Common/skins

For this, I added to each LocalSettings file:

$wgStyleDirectory ="$IP/../Common/skins"

$wgStylePath ="/Common/skins"

While testing this, I got the a error like:

"Warning: require_once(/usr/local/... /Common/includes/SkinTemplate.php) [function.require-once <http://foundation-register.org/stf1test/index.php/function.require-once

...

]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

/usr/local/.../Common/skins/MonoBook.deps.php on line 12"

This is because of SkinTemplate.php is relatively referenced in MonoBook.deps.php as "require_once ( dirname ( dirname ( __FILE__ ) ) . 'includes/SkinTemplate.php' ", which belongs to normal directory structure.

The strange thing now is, changing the statement in MonoBook.deps.php to "$IP/includes/SkinTemplate.php" didn't work.

It seems, $IP isn't available at this point and the statement results in "require_once (/includes/SkinTemplate.php)" only.

Could somebody give me a hint what I'm doing wrong, please?

Or is there a better solution to that plan?

Thanks
