So, hi. I'm having some problems with installing Wikipedia.
Is it an unreasonable layout to do something like this?
{Document Root}/wiki <- .phtml here /upload <- nothing here (at first) /style <- .css here
/usr/local/share/php4 <- .php files here, except...
/etc/wikipedia <- LocalSettings.php, Language*.php here
The docs seem to imply that this is a good setup, but the install.php installer wants to write everything to $IP, which is apparently slang for "where everything goes". Many of the libraries also have code like:
include_once ("$IP/SomeOther.php");
...kind of making it hard to move files around. Gar. I'm a long-time Web developer, and short-time Wikipedia code user, and I'm pretty unhappy with the idea of dropping _everything_ into the externally-served "{Document Root}/wiki", especially files with passwords and whatnot.
I also figure config files like LocalSettings.php or Language*.php should be separated out to keep them from getting stomped on.
Anyways, I've got all that stuff working, and I'd like to know if I can submit a patch that divides the installed files into Web stuff, PHP libraries, and config files?
