Hi thanks Haim, That was what I thought too. But I don't know the absolute
pathnames. GoDaddy had this to say:
Upon review of your account it appears that you do not have a dedicated IP
address for your site; therefore you will most likely not want to use the IP
address, but instead reference the full URL
http://dummipedia.com/commonmw140.
If you require an IP address and cannot use a URL, a dedicated IP address
can be added to your hosting account.
To add a dedicated IP to your shared hosting account:
1. Purchase a Dedicated IP credit from our website.
2. Log in to your Account
Manager<http://mya.godaddy.com/default.aspx?prog_id=GoDaddy>
.
3. In the My Products section, select *Hosting*.
4. Click the applicable hosting account.
5. In the Hosting Account Details section on the right, click *Apply
Dedicated IP Address*.

I've never used GoDaddy, but from your message it
sounds like you have
a shell account where you can get to all the directories of your
different sites. Or at least you know what their absolute pathnames
are.
Since the LocalSettings.php files are just PHP code, how about just
using the PHP include command to include the common file?

Hi, I have been scouting the internet for how to have a common set of
Mediawiki files (in one common folder) for all my wikis.
Because of the way GoDaddy creates the IP address for each wiki, I
believe I
have to have the specific LocalSettings.php file
inside each individual
subfolder (unlike some examples that are available in the internet). I
don't
know whether my problem is more than linking the
subfolder to the common
folder (containing the Mediawiki files).
Anyone knows if there is a writeup somewhere which I may have missed? I
have
written to GoDaddy but apparently, well, they ask
me to upgrade to
dedicated
computer or something like that.
